“I usually have high expectations for Mavericks, given their reputation for friendly staff and efficient service. However, my experiences at the Gunnison Maverick have fallen short. Unlike other locations, the staff here seem less than enthusiastic to assist or even offer a welcoming smile. It feels as though everyone's day started on the wrong foot.Moreover, this location seems plagued by frequent equipment failures, from non-operational fountain drink machines to malfunctioning coolers. While I understand that repairs can take time, the months-long wait for fixes is disappointing. Generally, a few weeks seem reasonable for such repairs, but extended delays suggest a lack of urgency in maintaining operational standards.Despite these issues, I'm giving it four stars because there are still aspects of the Maverick brand that I appreciate. But I do hope to see improvements in both staff demeanor and equipment maintenance in the future.”

“Very nice people working there. Did not have the type of cigarette I buy but the employee said she could start ordering my type. Very cool. Everyone is very sweet and have a nice variety of waters and red bulls. They also have tap pay which is very convenient.”
