Employees Ive met are kind and happy to help. The outside/location looks a little rough but really I've had 0 issues. Not sure what other reviewers expect the store to do about the people outside of it lol Plaid is open longer than a lot of the nearby convince stores. Good selection. They also take ebt :)

Despite the sketchy look of this place, it has served me and countless other people very well throughout the years. Hours are awesome.
Big shout out to Mike for being polite, knowledgeable, and quick in the challenging late night shift role.
Incredible staff!

Probably do a footage review from 8/11/24 at between 4:10am and 4:25am to see what exactly that clerk was doing on the counter.
