“I’ve come to rely on this place for stops on my way home as I work late shifts. Today I came 15 minutes before close and the store was shut down. Really disappointing. There is still an employee inside that I can see but wouldn’t open the door. She just felt like closing early I guess.EDIT: the next time I came to this store I was offered an apology and a lot of understanding for why I left that comment. It’s the only store in the area and the man behind the counter was very polite and kind and I want to change my 2 star to a 4 and recommend this place. I was very displeased that night but overall this is a great store with great employees.”
