“We were having a really hard time and came in feeling exhausted and hungry, but the attendant here completely changed our experience. He was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely thoughtful. He took the time to explain all the instant food options available and helped us figure out what would work best for us. Not only that, he was very knowledgeable and even helped guide us in the right direction when we needed it. It meant a lot to us in that moment. This gas station is open 24 hours, and the staff are friendly, respectful, and always willing to help. If you ever find yourself in a tough situation like we were, this is a place you can count on. Highly recommend.”

“Always friendly service and if you need anything or have any questions always willing and happy to help. It is one of my main spots that I always stop at. The Pine Star restaurant that is attached to the store is amazing, the food is so delicous and it's at a great price point.”

“This gas station is always a welcome sight if coming in, say, from Orillia. Gas up! Could be awhile before hitting another gas station, say, until Renfrew (depending where you are heading). It's worth it to pay the extra few cents. They have washrooms (2). Note: Your CAA card may not register at the pump for the 3-cent reduction per litre. I was on Pump No. 1 - and the pump appeared to accept / recognize my CAA card - but then I was surprised when the price on that pump didn't reset to the 3-cent discount. First time that's ever happened to us. I did mention it, and was informed by a pleasant employee that the pumps are getting old and wifi isn't great up there. Maybe that's it. Or, maybe I didn't do something the right way. Who knows ....”
