I especially like the Manager at the prepared foods counter (Michael). He is very sweet, always in a good mood and willing to go above and beyond to make your day.”

“First review of a gas station. . . Ever. This review is in regards to the convenience store and not necessarily the gas pumps. Clean and inviting, with LOTS of healthy and tasty snack options. . They sell lots of earth friendly cleaning and personal hygiene products, too. I travel a lot and while I live in NH, if I found myself at a truck stop offering similar products while I was on the road, I'd be in bliss. Apparently this is a "concept store", and in a funny location for that, in my opinion. But I hope the owners' visions are coming true with this pilot, because I think the modern gas station should take a page out of Alltown Fresh's playbook. I wouldn't take a star off for this, but when I inquired about taking photos of some products with the cashier I was told that this was "frowned upon" by corporate. I had planned to do a positive social media post. So I'm guessing the owners/the CEO are/is a little old fashioned. . I would take advantage of that type of opportunity, corporate office.”
