“Wow. We pulled in after having an issue with over heating. The gentleman was outside as we pulled, I popped the hood. He talked with us and was more than happy to allow us to "cool down". The woman at the counter was super friendly and talked with us a bit about our trip. We bought lots of water. She even let us know about the amazing food truck. While I spoke with my mechanic (husband) and looked over the car, a couple locals stopped and chatted with us. Even offering us an additional gallon of water. We felt like family. Thank you for allowing us to "chill".”

“I always stop here when passing thru Umpqua country. Sure there's cheap spot market fuel available from the casino but I wouldn't run my lawnmower on that junk. Nice clean restrooms, full market with very courteous folks inside. Quick and easy on/off freeway is also a plus. Treat your vehicle right buy quality fuel here.”

“This is the best gas station I've ever been to. We missed our dog so much, and Joe (pictured) was the BEST remedy. He is the sweetest boy ever, and was so relaxed with his belly up, legs up, ready for pets. Saved this location in my phone so I can purposefully skip all the other gas stations on the way. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Joe's human family was also so chill and friendly.”

“I was from California. In 2020 I came up on a foggy day. Very peaceful in my opinion, got some drinks but the card reader was out. The woman behind the counter said it was all good and let me be on my way. I appreciated that. I loved the looks of it.”
