“Great store all around. The only complaint I have is that the Diesel pumps are atrociously slow. There has to be something that can be done but other than that the staff is great, friendly, and helpful.”

“I’m going to say that this store has, from a customer stand point AND his employees even agree a GREAT manager in Jim. I am NOT related or know him personally just FYI. He actually ENCOURAGES his employees to help their customers with extra points, $$ off coupons and vouchers that they keep AT the counters. If I need a little extra help, no one has ever scoffed at me but honestly seems to WANT to help. This is a sign of GOOD management! Keep up the great work guys!!!❤️❤️❤️”

“I went inside to pay cash for gas (with cash, it was the cheapest along my route, which went down to Athens) and walked into a phantasmagoria of amazing glass pipes. It's like an art gallery. The selection is like nothing I've ever seen before. Any and every kind of wild and clever pipe in the known universe is somehow there in this unassuming gas station. And their prices are very reasonable, too. I'd be like, "No way that's less than 50 bucks," and it'd be 35. There also are those arcade games and various tourist thingies and stuff for fishermen and cool knives and 3 different coolers of dippin dots and such novelty ice creams. A paper on the gas pump announces that the place is now 24/7. So they're ahead of the times there. All in all a very cool place to stop, one of the coolest gas stations I've ever been in. I haven't seen a place of its type so good even in Atlanta. Are the snacks pricey? Well yeah, it's a gas station. But pricey for a gas station, eh, not really. I'd go there again just to sightsee. I wish I could add a photo, but I didn't take any.”

“Nice enough little gas station. The staff were friendly and lighting incense. The bathroom has several signs that instructed for NOTHING to go into the toilet which I thought was your average "don't put anything but toilet paper in here sign" but there was also no toilet paper, so with that and the signs, I was a bit taken aback.”

“Propane as cheap as you'll find it in the area. At the time of this writing is $15 for 20 lb tank. Very quick and friendly service. I highly recommend them. Daniel”

“I visit this store on a very regular basis, as they are very close to my home. Never once had anyone ever been rude to me, acted as if waiting on me was an issue or chore (instead of their job), ignored me, etc...... As a matter of fact, in the year or so since I started going there regularly for fuel, cigarettes, or the yummy Hunts Brother's Pizza, I had absolutely NOTHING to complain about. Everyone there is kind, helpful, courteous, and eager to help in any way they can. 10/10 recommend!!!”
