“I had a slow leak and didn't have enough change for the air compressor outside the Manager inside gave me a buck and that turn my day around. what a nice thing to do. def will pay it forward.”
“Cramped little convenience store, but they do have a bathroom, which is impressive for their size. Everything else about the location is okay. Traffic can be a bit hairy getting out.”
“I like this one.. i genuinely have a good experience when I go to this speedway. 9 times out of 10 the people are friendly.. they have fresh food way more often than most other speedways around do. They may not always have my 1 liter Pepsi, but overall, this is probably my favorite speedway. 😊”
“I'm shocked at the 1 star reviews. If I could I'd give Riquel 10 stars!!! She helped me since 2023 when she was at the Rt.26 Endicott CVS location with prescriptions when I ended up in the hospital for severe sciatica and herniated disc pain. I spoke with Riquel on the phone when I called this CVS location 11/19/2025, I was so glad to hear Riquel is at this CVS since I missed seeing her at the other location. I went to this location to get my vaccine from Riquel. I still have back pain from the herniated disc from 2023, and she came out to my car and gave me my yearly flu shot, which I thought I wasn't going to be able to have given to me since I couldn't physically go into CVS. If you're not physically able to go into the store, please ask for Riquel and she will help you by giving you your vaccine at your car. We need more pharmacists that go above and beyond like her! Thank you so much Riquel, you're the best!!!”
