“2-4-26 I did go back about the ice cream, and they have some ice cream.So I gotta bump them up to a 5 star. Also, as busy as this store is, it stays clean and well stocked. Just to let you know they have all your tobacco needs, vapes, and lotto tickets. This store is a real store. It's got almost everything you want. I need to go back and check for ice cream, then it will be a five.”
“This store makes you feel at home when you come in. The staff remember you, they treat you like family. It's a friendly, laid back atmosphere. Sometimes I get a little bit upset because they may not open on time, but all of us have days where we oversleep, or something happens, etc, and they always show up and open by 9 when they are running late. Other than that no complaints.”
“Love coming to this store. They have the best lemonade, store is always clean and the manager Ra'Kevia is very nice and friendly always keep a smile on her face.”

Speedway Staff is always caring & polite,willing to answer questions.Fire extinguishers are found throughout the facility, necessary in case of emergency. Friends visit them soon.....”
“I think that the current management and staff that are in place is the right team! They are friendly and they establish great rapports with their repeat customers. They are always friendly and professional! It is really appreciated how they treat their guest. I have observed that even people that are just passing through they manage to find common ground with them and provide them with fast, friendly professional service. I hope that there is no change in staff anytime soon because they make a really great team. They keep the restrooms, parking lot, shelves, microwave, fountain soda station, hotdog/nacho and sandwich station clean.the shelves are always stocked and the staff is always willing to assist you. Overall a convenience shop! I spent 15 years in hospitality so I notice things that the average person doesn't about cleanliness, and customer service. I wouldn't change anything about this store!”
