“Love this gas station when visiting Outer Banks Rodanthe area. Always has whatever we need on the fly without having to come back out to the mainland to shop. Employees are always polite courteous and happy making our experience even better. Also the bait section is great seeing as how we fish around the clock and sometimes need to re-up quickly on bait. Definitely returning every year. You have a lifetime customer in me!”

“Island Convenience Store was such a bright spot during a tough time. The locals there were incredibly empathetic toward all of us having to evacuate early, and their kindness truly lifted our spirits. The store itself is great—clean, well-stocked, and the food was really good! This was our first trip down with an RV, and we ran into issues finding propane anywhere else. Thankfully, Island Convenience had a fill station and went out of their way to help us get what we needed to start our trip home. We’re so grateful for their hospitality and helpfulness. It made all the difference!”
