“Incredible selection! When I walked in for the first time, I expected a small tiny section with a mini fridge with night-crawlers, a very small selection of lures, and thats’s it. But when I walked in, holy CARP? it’s a humongous selection! 6 whole walls of rods, reels, floats, hooks, weights, and pretty much every single kind of lure you could think of! Crank-baits, spoons, spinnerbaits, swim-baits, jig-heads, soft plastics, even top-water baits! And of course, live bait. And that’s not even it! In winter, they stock up for ice fishing season! Which I have not seen yet, but can’t wait to see even more selection for ice fishing! It’s an honor to have even a smaller shop for fishing bait tackle in these tiny towns. Even if it’s sparse, you got all you need here! I think you get it by now, I love this place. Plus, the owner is nice too! I highly recommend any beginner, and experienced anglers to check out this place! It’ll have everything you need for a nice day of fishing. I took some pictures of some stuff on my fishing wish-list lol. But yeah! Seriously, come here!”

“I went here to use the car wash however when I went through the carwash and I paid for the largest package they had there was no soap or suds of any kind, I didn't even see or smell any wax being sprayed. I'm assuming it was completely out which is definitely unfortunate since I was in a rush and I didn't have time to wait in that line again.”

“Valero is a convenient and reliable stop when you just need to fill up and grab a quick treat. I stopped here to refuel, and the experience was made even better by the friendly service. The lady at the counter was kind, helpful, and always smiling, which really added a welcoming touch—especially during a quick stop. Inside the store, I was pleasantly surprised to find Night Twin and Snickers ice cream bars. I had been looking for them for a long time, so that alone made my visit worthwhile. It’s a small detail, but it shows they carry some great snack options. Overall, a simple but positive experience with good service and a well-stocked store. Definitely a spot I’d return to.”

“I was going back to Canada but unfortunately my custom papers wasn't cleared from the Canadian border services. I turn around to find a place to stay for the night. I came to this location at Sunoco. I went inside and found this amazing young female who worked March 17, 2025 around 7:45pm. She was amazing and very kind. I told her my story and she let me stay for the night. We do need people like her & she really needs to be recognized by managers & Sunoco head office. She is outstanding & very professional when spoken to. All the best”
