“Gas is pretty cheap here. It is convenient late at night because many places don't seem to be open in this area. The convenience store inside surprisingly carries a good variety of items. I picked up a functional USB phone charger here for a reasonable price. It still works, and I got it here almost a year ago. Anyhow, it will get you what you need while on the road.”

“We hosted a work luncheon for nearly 200 people today and unexpectedly ran out of bread. I had to make a last-minute trip using the company card to pick up bread and mayo, and the team at Stewart’s made the situation so much easier. The staff was friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful. Andrea, in particular, went above and beyond with her customer service. She was kind, professional, and quick to help during a stressful moment, and I truly appreciated her assistance. We regularly visit all three Stewart’s locations in Johnstown for a variety of items, and experiences like this are exactly why we continue to support them. Thank you, Andrea, and thank you to Stewart’s for consistently providing great service!”

“I like Speedway but I wish I could know how to get my points for gas savings w my when they did away with the rewards card. I don't know how to access my account anymore when I actually am getting gas. For that reason I find myself going elsewhere.”
