“Very friendly staff, very clean establishment with a decent selection of drinks, candy, chips, and ice cream. I go here every day for their chicken strips. They still have the oldschool big thick ones. Very good stuff! Will continue to be my favorite convenience store!! The owner is a very good guy who cares about his customers more than is required! Best store around!”
“My Nanny lives close to this store and I have very good memories of walking down here to get a Dr pepper and my Nanny a cigarette the owners are really nice and most the people I know there are very friendly”
“A year ago, I gave this place a well deserved one-star review because nobody appreciates being treated rudely by the two hateful women that were working here during my visits. They seem to be gone now. The manager and I didn't see eye-to-eye back then either but that seems to have changed too. I find the place welcoming. I might not buy gas here again because I pumped 22 gallons into my truck's 20 gallon tank due to their price sometime matching Walmart's and being very close when it doesn't match. I usually don't run my tank dry but I did with both of my vehicles and found that my Fiat's 10-gallon tank holds 11 of this place's gallons. It would have been nice if they had posted something about the difference between their gallons and the ones pumped elsewhere. Now I buy $1's worth if I run the truck out or $0.50 if I do the same with my car. Usually I limit my purchases here to their excellent chicken, whose prices have begun being fair since some time after I stopped going there to be mistreated and the time that I returned to find that the staffing has improved dramatically. As long as they run the place like they are now, they will remain my favorite place for lunch.”
“I went to go take my shower & had to write this review. As a 3 year trucker I’m met with a lot of disrespect & rude ppl everyday towards me but I MUST SAY the whole staff at this loves has been so nice and kind but more importantly I believe her name is QUIDA that works at the register she is SUCH A SWEET AND KIND PERSON I COULD CRY. Her overall welcoming and her kind personality and smile just made me feel so welcoming. This by far is the cleanest loves I been to by the way. I wanted to make sure I wrote this so her manager could see this. We need more people like her in the world especially after what we as truckers deal with take care GOD BLESS 🫶🏽”
“Get fuel and snacks here from time to time staff has always been friendly, still not happy with if I pay for $20 at the pump loves is going to hold $100 of my dollars . Not this store but corporate.”
“So many snack choices outside the norm I've been used to all my life. Just now grabbed a new snack cake, a man behind the counter recommended it too. He was right about it, it was really good! I can't wait to try the other flavors. (I got the cheese one, reminded me of angel food cake!)”
“I have to pay a compliment to this love's! It's hard for a vegetarian or a vegan to eat anything while they're out on the road with so many gas stations and Pit Stop stores having a limited variety of things that are vegan safe. Even today they were out of wraps and bowls but this team pulled through and wake me up a beautiful salad! Thanks for the fast thinking ladies!”
“Awesome place! Very convenient and carries stuff like milk, eggs, bread, they also have hunts Brothers Pizza. The fuel prices and Diesel are very competitive. Just an all-around great clean friendly store.”
“Clean bathrooms, well stocked store with a good variety of travel needs, plenty of parking and a courteous staff, what more can you ask for? They carry souvenirs, shirts, numerous variety of snacks and beverages. Store was clean and organized even though we were there late in the evening!”
“I love the drive - thru. They also have good prices on cigarettes and beer if your looking for that. They are always nice and welcoming every time I'm there. Also good gas prices sometimes. :-)”
“This is my go to place,so convenient and they have excellent food, staff is always welcoming and friendly, the best coffee and choices of cream... Have fun gambling also, but it has a variety of different high end shopping also.”
“Just went in to use the bathroom and the whole place smelled like bleach. The bathroom is so clean and that’s hard to come by when it comes to gas stations especially at 2am. Great job Crissy and Herb! Y’all are straight killing it. Highly recommend. ☺️”
“Organic-products advertised in-window, disappointingly, unavailable. Ice tastes great, with excellent containers, though no Live Soda dr. kombucha or Zevia cream soda.”
“Employee was extremely friendly and was actually smiling. She offered me some of the ready made food. I had a question about a product and he seemed to enjoy answering. Will return next time I am at the Vet down the road.”
“I really appreciate this wide open gas station with lots of lights around the pumps. There's usually no one there when I show up, but if there is I can spot them immediately. Just wanted to say that. It feels safer here when you're pumping gas before dawn. It's also not swarmed with people or in inconvenient places like the Loves are. Note I rarely go in the store itself so I can't speak on how it is inside.”
“I have been patronizing Walgreens pharmacy in Durant OK for years now and Mandy Skinner has been working there the entire time. Therefore, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and say “Thank You” to Mandy and at the same time would like for management within the Walgreens organization to know what an absolute wonderful customer service pharmacy tech they have with Mandy Skinner. Every time I see Mandy in the Walgreens pharmacy, she will always be busy and have a pleasant smile on her face regardless if working a window, on the phone answering questions, or behind the scenes ensuring nothing needs fine tuning in the process. She always ensures all the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed, including, ensuring all the insurance entities have been processed for the script or scripts she is providing. On more than one occasion, Mandy’s corporate knowledge and diligent customer service work ethics saved me money by “double checking” customer out of pocket charges for each script I was picking up. My perception of her goal is to provide me with the best possible customer service, with a smile, PERIOD! This is evidenced by her exceptional dedication, attention to detail, commitment to accuracy, and compassion for me her customer. Mandy is a true asset to herself, the pharmacy staff and Walgreens”
“Well stocked, staff are nice and will leave you alone and let you shop and check yourself out with self checkout unless you need help, really appreciate that! Was there at 5 pm and it was quiet and items were easy to find, although a bit pricey unless you have personal and the app coupons”
