“I come here often before and occasionally after work.The staff is always friendly.The store itself is a little "meh", but it's just a convenience store. Nothing overly special about it.The Loredo taco side is good. The tortillas can be a little wierd and undercooked sometimes if they get in a rush.”
“Just running into the store to get a few snacks for my girls before they went to gym practice. The gentleman that was running the register was helpful in pleasant.”
“Note that this store is now a circle k convince store and not corner store anymore but otherwise this gas station is a little below avrage than others in conroe because it needs a little cleaning and improvement. Other than that it is not really bad”
“Always a pleasure to get what I need here. The staff is always on point and more than willing to help find something if its not out on the floor. Clean, covid safety taken seriously, professional, courteous and never have I been treated unfairly.”
“Clean, well maintained gas station. Lots of parking space for large trucks and every day vehicles. The staff is friendly. The store isn't crowded and lots of options for food and basic supplies to choose from. The Amazon parcel lockers are very convenient and appreciated.”
“This is my local filling station. Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful. I especially like the Manager of this location. She knows the names of her customers. Her store is always clean. Everyone is greeted with a kind word coming and going out of her store. I’ve tried for years to get someone at Valero to acknowledge her. She seriously deserves it. I wish I knew how to get through to someone. She’s an amazing employee. I’d love to see her get a little recognition.”
“I hit up this Valero at least 3 times a week. It's the closest one to my house that I can stand shopping at. The staff is laid way back yet maintains a professional efficiency worthy of awe if not envy. The selection is diverse and fairly priced in my opinion. Never had a complaint.”
“Always visit here on my way out of town. Pumps always seem to be in good order. I check for card skimmers but haven't found one yet Thank God. Inside is always clean, haven't used the rest roo s so I can't comment.”
“Ladies, it's all about the coffee! They've got creamer, half and half, raw sugar... and more! I go out of my way to get gas here, so I can treat myself to a delicious coffee. You won't regret stopping by.”
“I've never had an issue with their gas. I only put the highest octane, premium gas in my truck and it has always run well! I take care of it and it takes care of me!”
“Nice, clean gas station with quality employees who are nice to the customers. My only complaint is that they close for 30 minutes every night, I assume, to count their registers. While I understand this is necessary, doing counts shouldn't take 30 minutes in my opinion...i've worked as a cashier and manager for retail stores, so I'm not trying to be a hater lol, counting a till takes like 5-10min max ?.”

“This place has the most variety of items you could find at any convenience store with the restaurant attached to it. The food at the restaurant is delicious and the portion sizes are Grand compared to competition close by.. this place is awesome! Check it out!”
“I absolutely love the ladies that work here. They are always so warm friendly and they always remember you. It's a great place to get just about anything. They have great food cooked to go they have inside seating and every drink you can imagine”
“They always have my brand of cigarettes when other local stores either are out or just dont carry them. Their fairly friendly and always make sure to tell their customers to have a good day”
“This is my favorite store. I go in there at least 2 or 3 times daily. The employees are awesome!! Food is great. I have never experienced a dirty bathroom. Let me just put this out there. They have the best diet coke fountain drink in this area. ?”
“The best store I’ve ever been to. I live down the road and the owner treats everyone like family. Great service, great attitude and always ready to help his customers. I would drive an hour out of my way just to come to this store.”
“It was good. Easy access from the street. I was having some issues with the pump, and the employee inside went out of his way to help me out to get it started for me. If you like Chevron gas, I recommend this location.”
“Nice clean store. The people working there say hello when you walk in, which is nice to be greeted even at a convenient store. It's in a good location to get in and out especially with all the traffic on 1488.”
“The owners are really nice and the staff is really nice but I just found out today that along with Mexican food that they're now starting to do Indian food. Can I get a Hallelujah? I don't even know what I got but it's delicious and it came with a really delicious sauce. Goat meat and rice. It's about time somebody in Conroe starts selling some Indian food. Today is Friday but he said typically Tuesdays and Thursdays they have Indian food. So if you're anywhere near Conroe come check it out. I don't want to have to go all the way down to the woodlands to get good Indian food. And stop by because they're so nice and help support a local business. I am so thrilled that I can find Indian food and it's extremely reasonable in price.”
“Anna, mack and Sam are awesome with customer service and Mohammad the owner gets great deals on merchandise. CASH GAS PRICES ARE THE BEST IN TOWN. Danny M. Makes it a great friend store to get the latest scoop on the locals, and Shawn C. Maintains the ping ping machines. **if your really interested with the head shop items inside then you will love the smoke shop off Frazier st. Next to the famous red caboose**”
“I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I HAD BLOWN OUT TIRE MANAGED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY CAME TO THIS GAS STATION ASKED IF I COULD POSSIBLY LEAVE MY TRUCK TILL AFTER WORK TO COME FIX IT ... THEY SAID YES OF COURSE.. THANK YOU TO THIS GAS STATION ?‼️”
“The owner is such a great guy! He is always happy.(even when he's tired). my daughter and I go in for fountain drinks in the afternoon and visit with him. He has 3 stores in a 7 mile range so if one doesn't have it the other probably. does.”
“I came into this gas station on the way to visit with my father in hopes they would carry his brand of smokes. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and was able to help me. After a few minutes he let me know that he will order cartons for us so when I come back weekly, I can just pick up multiple at one time. Super helpful!!!! Back story: I was going to (an unnamed store) and I was lucky to pick up 3-4 packs at a time. Since then, I have picked up multiple cartons at a time for my Veteran father. That's all he wants and that's what he will get. No hassle. Buying bulk helps with price, also! All of the employees are helpful, friendly and wonderful. Never had a bad experience! Clean store with lots of inventory! I won't go anywhere else for getting smokes for my father! I have gotten to know the employees and have grown to love them. I almost feel like Norm from Cheers when I walk in, they light up- smile and say hi!, then go in the back and come back with 3 cartons. Sooooooo much easier. Love the employees and this store. As far as some other reviews on prices, this is a convenient store not the grocery store, they are a little higher but that's just business. If you want it cheaper (not convenient) go to the grocery store. They are just trying to run a business. Great store, with amazing people and my family won't go anywhere else. ❤”
“This is a convenience store with Exxon gas pumps. The store was clean and the cashier was friendly and easy to talk too. The taqueria had excellent food and gave us plenty to eat, my wife and I had a very pleasant experience with great customer service you can't go wrong.”
“The night crew is awesome. They are very helpful, not rude. I was in there not long ago and I noticed a male that didn't have enough change to pay for his stuff and your employee by the name of Melvin W paid for his food. You don't see that very often now days. You have great employees working there at night.”
“This Valero opened with quickness just after the new HEB on 1488 and they do a good job competing with the HEB on gas prices. Some days they are up - some they are down. But they are generally within a few ¢ of the HEB so its not always worth crossing the street. I have not use the convenience store - but it is rather large and the entire Valero is always kept very clean... as far as gas stations go - this is a neighborhood gem.”
