Convenience Stores in Valatie, NY

“Great prices, excellent, friendly, and helpful staff since it has transitioned from the previous owners. Staff is masked for those like myself who appreciate that!There is handicapped parking and accessibility, a clean, large single user public restroom, gas, lottery, beer, CBD and tobacco products, lighters (and I wnet recently looking for lighter fluid, they were out but said they would be ordering it), snacks, medications, auto supplies, cell phone accessories, periodicals, hot food, coffee, and everything you'd need from a quick - stop type convenience store!I give them five stars as the new ownership and/or management is much better than the previous... the staff much more competent, friendly, pleasant, patient, and helpful!I actually worked here for a second job until I became fully disabled and unable to work, and the previous manager and his girlfriend (who worked there as well and inappropriately made assistant manager over the much more hard working, Maria) were one of the main reasons this Sunoco had gotten a terrible reputation... From selling drugs from their car in the parking log, being drunk and stoned on the job, and not doing inventory management or checking outdated products... They were one of the main reasons the store had a bad reputation, along with the former management NOT paying attention to the needs of the store, such as leaving brand new gas pumps to replace the old ones, in the parking lot for months and months on end.(I'd like to specifically say that Maria, who opened and her son 'D' were excellent, hard working, pleasant and friendly employees... and the only reason the store did not go under [if you see this, I miss you both!]).Let me again reiterate... THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF HAS CHANGED AND THE STORE (besides the layout and façade) IS UNRECOGNIZABLE TO THAT UNDER THE PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT.Prior, there were several stings by ATF, and many employers failed. THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE! So a fair warning, don't be insulted if you're asked for any product requiring proof of age. The staff is doing exactly what they should, especially as the store has prior reputation of neglect and selling to underage employees. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE NEW STAFF AND MANAGEMENT. They are 100% competent, friendly, helpful, respectful and doing what they should... Sorry for anyone who was hoping to buy illicit narcotics in the parking lot, but this is now the respectable, clean, and law abiding establishment it should have always been.When I need gas or the odd item late night (until 11pm when they close) this is where I go, as they have excellent prices! Including competitive gas prices. [At the time of writing this, 03/04/2022, Ukraine is under attack by Russia and gas prices have skyrocketed, however, they are still who I rely on for my gas and other items as they have excellent and competitive prices]).DISCLAIMER: the parking lot on the south side of the building had recently had some large potholes from the winter freeze-thaw cycle, and imagine will be addressed as soon as possible by the competent and attentive staff. It is absolutely avoidable if you need to park on that side to go inside, but just be aware in case you have poor night vision.”

“I had a problem with the units I purchased for a Tracfone, MacKenzie, the manager, went out of her way to help me solve the problem..She was curteous, very friendly and professional, and I thank her very much! It is a pleasure to shop in this Cumberland!”

“Staff is always welcoming and friendly and I only like coming to this Stewart’s because I like the banana split ice cream and they only know how to make it good at this location than the surrounding Stewart’s”

“I find very quick response, with a friendly, efficient, team. My questions, always are met, with trusting knowledge, and professional, results. Thank you, team.”

“The pharmacy team is always so kind, patient and have been accommodating to my extremely busy schedule. If you call you have to leave a message for the pharmacy team to call you back and they always call back within the hour. I had tried another local pharmacy across the road but getting my medications was like pulling teeth, I absolutely dreaded going there every month. I went back to CVS where everyone is always warm, friendly, fast and efficient. Seriously, great job pharmacy team!
In the rare instance I’ve had to wait the store itself is clean, quiet, well stocked and full of interesting things to browse. I highly recommend.”
