Hot Spot is a family-owned convenience store and gas station. The location in Landrum is noted as the best, with employees described as super awesome, very friendly, helpful, and kind. Customers report always leaving with a smile. While the outside may look a tad shady, the inside is very clean and organized, including large, clean bathrooms. It is a great place for snacks, sundries, and fuel, where everyone gets a friendly greeting. Most staff are praised, though a note advises caution with one young guy who can be a bit impersonal and detached.
