“Recently came here as I needed to put air in my tires. The staff inside, Waseem, was very helpful. I was embarrassed but asked if he would be able to help me as I haven’t done it myself in years. He helped the other customer in the store and then immediately not only came out and filled all my tires for me, he also showed me how to check and use the machine myself. Very thankful he helped me when I was stressing over the low tire pressure light that came on that morning 😅”

“Each day, I brave the chaos of Route 9, weaving through traffic like a knight dodging fire-breathing dragons, all to reach the sacred grounds of the Foam & Wash Shell Express in Poughkeepsie. The journey is perilous, the stakes high, but the treasure awaiting me is worth every ounce of courage I possess. For within these hallowed walls lies the greatest deal known to humankind: the 2-for-$2 gummy worm and gummy bear bounty. A feast fit for warriors, scholars, and sweet-toothed adventurers alike. Crossing that bustling highway each day feels like a trial from the gods, but the moment I step inside, all is right with the world. The employees stand vigilant, the shelves shine with order, and the gummies glisten like gems pulled from mythical caverns. And then—the convenience. Oh, the unmatched convenience. Not only is this heroic establishment positioned right beside Vitamin Shoppe, enabling me to seamlessly maintain my medically concerning caffeine addiction… but it also boasts one of modern civilization’s greatest innovations: The Amazon Locker. A golden beacon of online-order salvation. Packages that once risked porch pirates, late deliveries, or my own forgetfulness now rest safe and sound within these steel chambers of destiny. I stride in, punch in my code, and retrieve my loot like a victorious adventurer claiming artifacts from an ancient vault. Candy? Check. Caffeine? Check. Amazon treasure? Check. All in one stop—no side quests required. Foam & Wash Shell Express is not just a gas station. It is a fortress of convenience, a treasure hub, and the central checkpoint of my daily epic. If you value adventure, great deals, modern miracles, and gummy triumphs, then this is your Mecca. Press onward, traveler—your destiny awaits at the Shell Express.”

“I stopped into the Milton Stewart’s at 8:30 on Sunday March1 and there were 2 employees, a new girl that was putting stock away and a young man with a moustache and long hair and I was getting a hot dog and some other snack items and another couple were getting ice cream and they were talking at length about their time in the service in Korea and I tried to get his attention by standing back at the other register so he could see me but he just continued the conversation about 8 to 10 minutes. He never said “ I will be with you in a minute “ or can I take you over here on this side, just ignored me so I put the hot dog and products back and walked out. I live in Milton and never had that problem before but it was nothing less than rude. I never receive that kind of negative service from Kelly who is always very responsive no matter what other work she is involved with. As a former manager myself I wouldn’t tolerate it from my employees and I won’t tolerate it here either.”
2300 Salt Point Turnpike, Clinton Corners NY 12514
“THE place to stop on the Taconic. Halfway from White Plains to Albany. Tolerable bathrooms. Decent ice cream. Sometimes there's some rather good chili left and sauerkraut for the hot dogs. The clientele is either yuppies in their Range Rovers or scruffy in their monster trucks. But everyone gets along when they’re eating donuts.”

“Usually I stop in once in a while for breakfast and maybe picking up a couple things along the way. Yesterday I purchased bread from there and I opened it up today and it was moldy. The best by date was May 15 and I missed that when picking up the bread because I had assumed the bread was checked regularly. Please make sure associates are checking the bread when stocking it. Thank you.”

59 Burnett Blvd, Poughkeepsie NY 12603
“Friendly service at the window. And gas is cheaper when you use your points! I corrected the time they close ? Apparently not all Business think to update Google when their hours change. I thought I had an hour to spare, so I did my shopping first to gain more points before getting gas. Nope. The *store closes at 11pm, gas station is 10pm. Always check the actual website, or the stores app.”

“As much as the sandwiches have been great, large and great for the price point- sometimes the deli staff does not listen to what you actually want on your sandwich. I’m a regular and my sandwich is a staple, However lately the deli staff had been putting bleu cheese and cheddar on my sandwich- both of which I despise! I ask for only specific ingredients and the last 4-6 times my sandwich has not been what I asked for. Also- today i was wondering why my soda tasted off- well it expired in February of 2022. Top two deli on in the area- better step up your game.”

“The place is extremely clean they got a huge selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages plus snacks and it's connected directly to the Dunkin' donuts I mean what more can you ask for and their gas prices they're only like two cents or one cent more than the cheapest places around so they're good too I don't have anything bad to say about them”

“Last night I was at The Falcon for New Years Eve. After the show I was having a really tough time getting an uber back home and I walked up the road to this mini mart. When I walked in I immediately felt safe. It was fully stocked with all the essentials...literally anything you would ever need. In the event of a zombie apocalypse this is where you'd want to set up camp. Best part was it is 24 hours!! Chris who was behind the counter was so kind and patient with us. He is an angel and my protector from all evil especially the cold rainy nights. I was provided shelter while I desperately waited for a ride home. I will never forget the time I spent at this wonderful place. Thank you for all that you do.”

“I stopped into this Mobil recently, and I was genuinely impressed with how well the entire place was managed. From the moment I walked in, everything felt clean, organized, and easy to navigate — which is something you don’t always get at gas stations. The pumps were working properly, the payment screens responded quickly, and the area around the station was free of trash or spills. It made the stop quick and stress-free. Inside, the convenience store was fully stocked and clearly cared for. The coolers were packed with fresh drinks, the coffee area was spotless, and even the snack aisles were neatly arranged. The employee at the counter was friendly, attentive, and made sure customers were taken care of without any long waits. It’s the kind of service that sticks with you because it shows the staff actually takes pride in their work. Gas prices were competitive for the area, and the station felt safe, well-lit, and comfortable to stop at even during late hours. Overall, this Mobil consistently delivers a smooth, reliable experience, and I’ll definitely continue choosing this location whenever I’m passing through. Highly recommend stopping here.”

“FULL DISCLOSURE - My name is Jim Szamreta and I manage this location. I give our location 5 Stars for several reasons: 1. I know how hard my staff and I work to deliver exceptional customer experiences and create a sense of community for the people we serve. 2. Whether you are a 3 times a day regular customer or pass through once in a while or once a week, we strive to offer what you are craving, make you feel valued and leave in a better mood wanting to come back. 3. We take great pride in our friendliness, cleanliness, as well as consistency and value in the products we serve. In other words, I believe we SUCCEED WILDLY in the variables we can control. With that being said, there is always room for improvement and occasionally we may miss the mark or fail to deliver on our promises. We may be out of stock of your favorite product. Rarely, you may have a poor customer experience. On those days have some of our delicious ice cream or high quality coffee, I guarantee it will immediately improve those off days. EVEN BETTER, have it on me. If you take the time to speak with me or my assistant manager Theresa and offer us an opportunity to improve your next experience. Give us the chance to either win you over or restore your trust and I will buy your next coffee or scoop of ice cream. Hall of Fame Baseball Players succeed 1 out of every 3 trips to the plate. Weather-People are right less than that. I KNOW we succeed far more often than that and am confident we hit far more home runs than we have strike outs. Leave a review, good (because kindness doesn't cost anything) or bad (because we sincerely want to hear it so we can improve). Out of stock on your favorite item, let me know and I will personally order it. We get a delivery every three days, so you will never have long to wait! I make only THREE PROMISES: 1. We will always TRY to make your day better 2. We will always be fair and honest with you and strive to improve if we fall short of your expectations 3. We will always offer fresh quality products at an exceptional value All other issues can be solved with either ICE CREAM, COFFEE, DONUTS, or KINDNESS. We serve all of those ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. Thanks for checking us out! Jim”
