“Clean, stocked, lady overnight very helpful. Recent events in area make me worried for this sweet woman at night, but she is very professional and does not let people start acting crazy, will immediately stop the situation and remove any “crazy” acting people from store, which is refreshing to see and even makes me and my son feel safer. Cups are always stocked and the restrooms are always clean when we go. The overnight lady is wonderful and you can see she takes pride in her job in how the store looks and the way she will help every customer she can. Can’t say the same for the store up the road. Love the rewards program-has helped save money. This store has completely changed over the last year or so, the new manger is wonderful and always helpful, will go out of his way to make sure the drinks we get are ordered and in stock. Hope to see nothing but good come to these wonderful folks and this store. Way more friendly than the other options close!”

“Great stop for just about anything you need. There's a little "mom and pops" type restaurant on one end of the shopping center which is attached to the convenience store and the food is 'home cooked' and actually pretty good! There is my second favorite pizza place in town and a liquor store on the other end. What more can you ask for lol?”
