“I’ve been renting here for almost a year, and from start to finish I’ve had the best experience with Pam. From setting up my storage unit to helping with any troubleshooting issues I’ve had along the way, she’s always been incredibly helpful and professional. Overall, I’m glad I can count on her here at Public Storage whenever I need assistance. She’s always looking out for customers and takes great care of my team. Just wanted to give you a shoutout and say thank you for all you do!”
“I’m extremely happy the older skinny woman with dark and gray hair is gone . For two years she worked here with a terrible attitude. Terrible customer service. She always had a terrible attitude. Now there are energetic younger staff that clearly enjoy their job . . I know customers can be a pain but I was always polite and respectful. Eversons has my business back because that woman is gone . The pizza is fantastic.”
“This place is great. They have anything you need and the cashiers are so friendly and helpful. I will give them my business every chance I get. Thank you bodines..”
“I have been coming here a long time very friendly people and answer any questions you may have about vapes or anything else i always stock up before i go to Florida and they always give me a good deal ❤️”
“I had a great experience here tonight. I was welcomed by a gentleman named Kolby. ( I hope I spelt his name right) he was very nice and professional. I really felt welcomed here!”
“I didn’t mean to end up there. Nobody ever means to end up at a gas station at 2:17 a.m. on a Tuesday, beneath flickering lights that hum like insects and trauma. But life has a way of guiding you to strange altars. And for me, that altar was Speedway #4927, just off the interstate, wedged between a haunted car wash and a Domino’s that refuses to die. Arrival: The Omen of the Pump As I pulled in, the sign read Regular: $3.48. I took that personally. The pumps were glowing like they’d been blessed by Zeus himself, but every single screen was playing a different commercial at full volume. It was like being shouted at by capitalism in surround sound. I swiped my card, and the machine beeped with the tone of a disappointed teacher. “Remove card quickly,” it said. I did not. “Remove card quickly,” it repeated, more urgently. I panicked and ripped it out like a medieval sword. Gas began to flow. Triumph. Then, out of nowhere, a bug—maybe a moth, maybe a small bird—landed on the screen. It stared at me like it knew things. Ancient things. I saluted it. It did not salute back. The Store: A Cathedral of Chaos Inside, it was everything and nothing all at once. A symphony of fluorescent lights and unbothered souls. A man in pajama pants stood motionless in front of the beef jerky rack, whispering “original or teriyaki” like he was weighing the meaning of life. The aisles were stocked with items that shouldn’t exist in the same universe. Motor oil. Cosmic Brownies. Windshield washer fluid. Stuffed animals. One singular plunger, displayed like Excalibur. I wandered to the coffee station. The pots were labeled “Mild,” “Bold,” and “Mystery.” I chose Mystery, because I, too, have made questionable life choices. It tasted like ambition, heartbreak, and battery acid. I drank two cups. I felt alive. The Bathroom: A Journey of Faith If Dante had written The Divine Comedy in 2025, the gas station bathroom would have been at least three circles deep. The door creaked like an old ship. Someone had written “Don’t look behind you” on the mirror in dry-erase marker. Naturally, I looked behind me. The air smelled of lemon disinfectant and quiet despair. A single hand dryer wheezed like it had asthma. There was graffiti that read, “Todd owes me $20,” next to another that said, “Todd’s never paying you back.” I admired the narrative continuity. There was a sign that said “Employees must wash hands,” but no sink. Just vibes. I left spiritually cleansed, if not physically.”
“Oh my gawd. Yes. ? My prayers for a good local sandwich shop have been answered!! Haven’t even finished my sandwich yet cause I had to get this out there. Panera? Don’t know her. Jrecks subs? Never heard of ‘im. Subway? You’re joking. Nah this is where it’s at. Very clean& nice. Gonna try smoothies next time. Everyone at the nail shop is obsessed with them.”
“There have been times when there were only 2 roller items stocked, problems with the fountain soda, and issues with the slurpees. Overall, it was a relaxed environment for us customers.”
“I was on a job that had me driving by this little place in the middle of nowhere. Decided to stop in for lunch since they have a back driveway you can park a truck in. I'm glad I stopped, my tuna sub was made to order and so yummy! The staff is friendly and the prices are less than I expected. This is a great little store with a little of everything and well worth stopping at. Next time I'm driving by I'll be sure to stop in!”
“Store is always cleaning in good order staff are friendly and fun to interact with providing good customer service as well as having a large selection of products.”
“Walgreens is great! I've been using them for years. 3 different locations throughout that time. Have never had a problem with anything. They are very helpful, professional, and friendly at all of their location. Highly suggest if your looking for consistentce, friendliness, and organization at a great store with a great pharmacy. It's not just a pharmacy anymore.. ;)”
“Cleanest gas station bathroom I've ever seen since I was a speedway manager...you guys are a shining example for all the other trashy speedways out there ..great job and keep up the great work guys and gals...thank you!”
“Ron and Jean are both literally the best workers I have ever seen period. I will be back as a regular from now on and these guys rock all hell! Thanks again guys!”
“I called an hour (maybe less) before close. Not a customer. Was seeking to.find someplace that had my medicine in stock. (My pharmacy of years had keep me in limbo for 5 days . Not only did the gal.(and im so sorry forgot her name) answer my questions but offered to help me... To some of us our prescriptions are extremely important. She went out of her way to help me even though it was getting late and I'm sure she would have liked to go.home. I appreciate it so.much. am..certainly.taking my rxs there now.. been a few months since . They are always very kind and respectful here.”
“Went in yesterday around 6 pm to buy two fountain drinks and didn't pay attention that I had a free one. The female there told me I had a free one and I can use it. I thanked her. She was awesome as most don't tell u.”
“My wife was 4 days post out-patient, intestinal surgery when she started feeling nauseous - on a Saturday and after 5:00 PM. All the nearby Urgent Care places closed at 5:00. I drove to the Walgreens in Newark and the pharmacist understood how serious this was and helped me find the proper medication. She was almost literally a life saver!!”
“Sam is the best!! She is always is great spirits and is very kind. She cares about her job and takes pride in what she does. Best part about this station by far.”
“Passport photo was happily taken by Terry, manager of Walgreens. Excellent photographer. Patient, kind, and truly enjoying his job. Then again, the staff say he takes the greatest photos with a steady hand.”
