“Yes it's a gas station, beer ,cigs , coffee , soda, beer, ... all that normal stuff.... But wait... The deli food here is quick and delicious, the staff is warm and give out free smiles which is wonderful when you are having a bad day, so stop in, walk in the door to a greeting and a big smile, and unless you are a Grinch you will leave with a smile of your own!”

“I stopped in at the Sinclair in Wahoo, NE on Wednesday afternoon (Feb 18th), and I’ve gotta say that I didn’t expect a gas station stop would restore my faith in humanity, but here we are. The young man behind the counter (I wish I caught his name!) was an absolute gem. I’m from out of town, just passing through, and he treated me like I was a regular who’d been coming in for years. Big smile, friendly hello, actually looked up and talked to customers! The kid wasn’t hiding behind the counter scrolling on his phone. He was present, polite, and genuinely kind. He’s the kind of employee every business hopes for and every town should be proud of. If this is the standard at Sinclair in Wahoo, they’re doing something right. That young man is a fantastic representative for Sinclair! Very respectful, welcoming, and just a really good kid. Who knew a quick gas stop would be the highlight of my day? Keep up the great work! Wahoo should be proud! Sinclair kid for mayor!!!!”

“Fast clean pumps, very good variety on snacks and drinks. The only thing I wish they would upkeep, fixing the pumps to actually give you a receipt, specifically before they open in the morning it's hard to just walk in and ask for the receipt.”
