“The young fellow at the propane fill station hustled out to my truck, unloaded my tanks in the rain, filled them, hustled them back into my truck (thank God, they are HEAVY!), then directed me to pay inside and be sure to ask for a discount. I asked, they delivered; this was the best propane fill of my full time RV'ing existence. Every time we come to or leave Sneads Ferry, Topsail Island and Surf City, we will be stoipping at Blossan Gas & Appliance. Thanks y'all :-D”

“A little crowded but very friendly staff helped us get a propane tank. The first one we got and almost left with was empty. Gotta pay attention to the weight and not the blue tag. But it was a clean and well maintained store. Good impressions.”

“I have no complaints about the store. The staff there is wonderful. I’m just trying to figure out why the young gentleman that works overnights who I believe is new won’t speak to me, acknowledge me and is extremely rude to me. I go in there every morning and I say good morning to whatever staff is working. I’m a very kind hearted and respectful person and I’ve always been respectful when I go in that store. This particular gentleman won’t say hi to me will not even respond to me and his straight up, rude to me. It literally made me cry when I saw him speaking to a male customer and smiling and being nice. And when I got up to him, he wouldn’t say anything to me and was rude to me. I don’t understand. I’ve gone a long time not reporting this because I’m not that type of person but it’s getting on my last nerve. I deserve the same amount of respect that everyone else does. I decided I’m just not going to go in there anymore if I see his truck. If it’s the lady working, that’s really nice to me. I will go, but if his truck is out there, I’m not gonna go to that speedway.”

“BP gas station is a convenient place to stop for fuel, snacks, drinks, and everyday necessities. It provides a reliable option for drivers who need a quick and easy stop while traveling, commuting, or running errands. The station offers a good selection of convenience items, and the ability to quickly fuel up and grab what you need is one of its biggest advantages. The location and accessibility make it a useful stop for customers in the area. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, and many employees work hard to provide a positive experience. The store environment and service help make visits convenient and efficient. The only reason I’m giving BP gas station four stars instead of five is that cleanliness, product availability, and customer service consistency can vary depending on the location. Overall, BP gas station is a solid recommendation. Convenient service, good fuel options, and a helpful atmosphere make it a dependable choice for everyday stops.”
