“I have lived in the area now 3 or 4 years to date. I have seen the same employees apart from 2 new faces. I wouldn't shop any other convenience stores in My vicinity as long as I can help it. The tall lady is the best employee through out the multiverse. She's kind, her service is admirable. Amazing, The store manager is equally amazing. He always keeps his cool and he only wants the best for his store and his Work family, it's evident in the people he hires. When there is a new face the service is top notch . Imo this store is amazing because of its employees. Each and every one of them. They deserve the best benefits. The selection of products is not vast, it's a small store, but their inventory seems to carry what they need and what thier customers ask of them. I can say that, she made sure that they had what we were asking for. The workplace the store manager has cultivated 5 out 5. God bless ?”
