* READ THIS FIRST * before WASTING your time making a trip to this store. I have just experienced the 13th OCCURRENCE, in the previous 2 months, arriving at this Murphy's, only to find it CLOSED... doors locked with no Attendant, DURING THEIR ACTIVE, AND CLEARLY POSTED HOURS OF OPERATION. This has now become absolutely absurd. I have been a loyal customer of this Murphy's between 2 - 5 times a week for about TEN YEARS... In which I have NEVER, IN TEN YEARS, have NEVER arrived during their posted business hours to find it closed, UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO. It all began with the newly hired Staff, all of which began their employment here 2 - 4 months ago. The previous Staff were amazing, and I truly hope they weren't laid off or terminated against their will, and that all of them voluntarily moved on to bigger and better positions (which they all deserved anyway). Just a bit strange that they all disappeared within such a small window of time. The first several occurrences arriving to it being closed, I simply attributed it to possible irresponsible or lazy new Staff Members, just not showing up for their shifts. So on my next visit the following day after the 3rd or 4th occurrence, I decided to question the Attendant "what happened last night for y'all to be closed again?" To which she replied. "I worked a double shift the day before, and the day shift yesterday... so I closed early last night. I've been working too much." She then went on to offer an extra statement, saying ”Our District Manager approved it". A day or two later, I was required to work at my job slightly longer than usual, and had to rush to arrive before their posted closing at 11:00. Was relieved to discover I made arrival with 7 minutes to spare, plenty of time, at 10:53. DOORS LOCKED. Attendant cracked the employee door and said, "We're closed". To which I replied, "right, I know... at 11:00, seven minutes from now". She reiterated again, "No, we're closed. We close every night at 11:00". I said, "right, it's currently 10:53". This is the point when a man parked at the pump next to the employee door began yelling and screaming obscenities and profanity at me. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER... in ANY convenience store. I learned a few days later, the man was actually the Attendant's husband! smh. CRAZY. So, clearly, after hearing the info offered, without any coercion by me, straight from the Attendant that their District Manager has approved this unprofessional behavior of closing whenever they feel like it... I would like to say to this District Manager : This decision you have made, to allow employees to dictate their own preferred hours of operation, is going to inevitably be SERIOUSLY DETRIMENTAL to the long term success of this location. It very well may be an unrepairable act. Because personally, I was the primary marketing advocate for this store, amongst my immediate circle of influence. I was the one who promoted to all of my friends, family, and co-workers, the Murphy's Drive Rewards program, and deals and discounts at this location. All of which have subsequently also become loyal customers throughout the previous years. District Manager, I'd like to share some wisdom in business success that you may not be privy to... EVERY SUCCESSFUL business I have EVER worked with, have had Managers that understand the ultimate importance of "hours of operation". ANY time these Managers ever experienced a period of short staffing or skeleton crews of employees... The Managers PERSONALLY STEPPED IN, to work those positions, to maintain an exceptional standard of business. Take this knowledge VERY SERIOUSLY, if you have any interest in preventing the devastation of this store. Take responsibility, do what you are supposed to do... and pull the keys out of your pocket to come unlock these doors, and work this cash register, to fulfill the obligation Murphy USA has appointed to you. If you choose not to, I would like to inform your Corporate

Ehhhh its a gas station. This station is usually the cheapest even if only by a penny per gallon but do not be fooled. The receipts rarely print at the pumps and when I have gone in to request one, there is often only one register open and a long line and attitude. I still go here but beware of the tight parking because I have seen multiple accidents.

Very nice station. Clean. No trash falling out of bins. Convenience store carries the usual basic supplies. An attendant is always outside clean around pumps. The gas I use is lowest price I can find. My Grand Cherokee says it tastes good.

You can't beat a gas station right next to a Walmart! Their prices are fair, they're almost never busy and the pumps and surrounding areas are generally clean. The store is small - but that makes sense when you're next to a SuperCenter like Walmart. I've been several times and have only been inside once - and the cashier was a delight. I plan on visiting this location again for sure - it's way too convenient not to!

This place is horrible after 12:00am. Gas pumps are close and even the store, so if you are looking for food......god luck! The store itself sells crappy food, like Cinnabon buns that are full of unhealthy ingredients. Come on, let's step up and create healthy places.
