“Gas is always reasonable, food/drink pricing is a tad expensive, and staff is always friendly. My only complaint is that the car wash will go hours at a time where it won’t be able to read a single card, but it will work fine the next day.”

“Calm environment for pumping gas. We had lunch at the pump and no one even noticed. Inside there is a wide selection including “Rap Icon” noodles. Staff member said people come from all around for their prices. And that seemed true for the cough medicine — two for the price of $6! Where do you see that nowadays? Four stars because there’s no bathroom for customers.”
