“Very cheap prices on gas and cigarettes. Only advice I could give is do not close during the peak times for break. Little aggravating. Should rotate employees when it's ones break time. But just something to suggest. My daily stopping place”

“This is my "go to" store for groceries, and home necessities. I have always had a great experience here and today had an even better than expected experience. There was a strong storm in the area that I was unaware that was fast approaching. I found myself near the aisle where management had circled up the employees. What I overheard was absolutely awesome. The manager on duty was explaining how important it was for everyone to be safe and also to take care of their customers. This was so heartwarming. Right at that moment I received an automated call from the City of Palestine warning of swirling winds in the surrounding area and a chance of tornadoes. It made me feel safer knowing that this manager and crew were going to take care of everyone in the store should there be an emergency. Keep up the great work!!!”
“I'm thankful for the Picket store. They are the only store out here that keeps really good hours and 9.999 times out of 10, they're gonna have what you need. If only they would possibly get a small grill going to make breakfast sandwiches and burgers I think they could put the colony store out of business.”
