“First ever beverage drive thru we’ve been to — and don’t understand the concept. Like, you have to walk out of the car if you want to see the whole selection. But perhaps it’s easy if you know what you want. They don’t sell wine on Sunday.”
“I like this store. Bathroom offs usually clean. Employees very nice and courteous... is changed since it was bought by someone else... you can find about anything you want pretty much... good place to have a good cup of joe. . Thanks for your good service”
“To think I'd miss this place so much. I used to live here, Glouster, for four or so years. wasn't the best time but it has stayed in my heart forever. the people sucked and the weather sucked worse, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I used to work in the subway in this gas station, didn't get along with anyone, but, it was my first real job. I don't even remember how long I worked there, but it was a sidejob while I was finishing high school, and it gave me something to do and hell, even enjoy sometimes cause it gave me ample cash to get high with my roommate at the time. he was cool, better than most in the town but being a trans fruitcake go figure I'd be biased against most people in town. god, I miss walking the barely maintained sidewalks, I miss wandering the train tracks and going to the dollar store after school to get snacks galore. I miss it all, and in a different world, god I'd love to live here again. give the subway workers some slack, working in a space smaller than a dorm sucks. give the rivers some wistful glances and the old buildings some gazes, know that people used to, and probably still do have life forming experiences there, that Glouster is a town. and despite living in cities and everything inbetween, some people would kill to get it back.”
“So glad this carryout is open! They stock my favorite vapes, milk from the Athens creamery and my kids love the prime flavors and unique snacks! We love stopping by for an affordable drink and snack on our nightly walks. The customer service is wonderful always greeted with a smile and small town small talk! Im sure this business will be very successful! ?”
“Quiet small town friendliness and small town prices. Quality goods,gas and food services/providers. Generally uncrowded and well stocked. Indoor ATM, bathroom and order out restaurant. Great air conditioning and plenty of ice cold beverages and fresh made coffee hourly for those on the go as well as many different energy supplements for those with long drives ahead of them. Marathon maintains a very high quality convenience store anywhere I've been to one.”
“Great place to go when yu need anything from a convenient store/ gas station even a little quick bite to eat! And for the most part has pretty decent staff here from what I've seen . But I've mostly gone mainly at night so if tht even helps lol”
“I'm not from the Athens area so I didn't even know this place existed until last night I live in Vinton County but work in Athens County. I'd had a long weekend and mentioned to a friend that I'd really love a bottle of Cricket Legs ? but didn't really want to go to State Street. She told me this place was open and sold alcohol on Sundays. It was on my way which made it even better. It was easy to find with Google maps. I drove through.. After he laughed and pointed me in the correct direction... this gentleman was super nice, maybe the owner but I don't know. He was very polite, friendly and sells the local wines, including Shade Winery Cricket Legs.. And it was already chilled! Now that I know this place is here I'll be a repeat customer! Easy in, easy out, friendly service and convenient location!”
“Friendly hometown convenience store with a drive thru. They have a deli and sell cold cuts by the pound, a few ready to eat items in deli case, made to order salads and sandwiches, etc. They sell beer, cigs, lottery but no gas.”

“Nellie was so helpful to my mom and dad, and went above and beyond helping them order some tobacco products. My mom went to many other Par Mars trying to find a worker to help order them, and Nellie was the only one willing to take the time and make it happen. She is such a sweet girl, and deserves a raise!!! We want management to know what a great asset they have for their store.”
“Speedway in Nelsonville, Ohio, embodies the classic gas station experience. The friendly demeanor of the workers enhances the overall visit, providing a positive atmosphere for customers fueling up or grabbing essentials.”
“This family is one of a kind; amazing, good hearted staff and prices all around. If you don’t support this business, you don’t support the rebuilding of America’s grassroot businesses. They deserve it mountains above any large corporation competing against them!”
“This is the best run gas station I’ve seen in a long time. Shelves are fully stocked, the staff was pleasant, the store was clean, and the restroom were immaculate.”
“I choose this gas station above the other two here in G town The staff is incredibly nice. Always willing to help with choices, and best buys The prices on items are affordable I get more miles from the gas here as well. I give these guys 5 stars for doing such a great job! Thank you ?”
“The store's a little cramped and sometimes the line is long bc some employees are talking to customers but they always have what I'm looking for and decently priced”
“A friend and I stopped by this CVS to get some essentials for a project we were working on and Maelynn was super helpful and worked with us to find everything we needed with a great price! 10/10 service thank you for helping us out!!”
“New insurance, a new product from the company, has been a hassle everywhere BUT here. They had no issue whatsoever with the new insurance, and were extremely helpful transferring prescriptions.”
