“This place is the best! Gas prices are always great! Best price in the area. Staff is amazing, and the store is immaculate and super clean. I have never seen a gas station so well kept in all my life. It is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back for gas.”
“Good selection of stores to get a bite to eat. Parking is tight on the side near Subway. It’s walking distance from the Huntington Metro station. Clean parking lot with plenty of spaces. Post office is located between 7Eleven and El Rancho restaurant.”
“The best price & variety of Ethiopian & East Africans spice, very friendly people , secured location with big parking lots in front of the shop.
Highly recommend”
“Awesome experience getting my inspection done, was quick and informative. Azeem has been super knowledgeable on my vehicles that I’ve brought in for inspection and has always been able to answer my questions thoroughly. Great customer service, will be back!”
“This store lowkey does not pass the vibe check.
TL:DR - Hiring process is crap and annoying to deal with, Hispanic section is good, and their donuts are AMAZING.
Come here AT LEAST for the donuts, fr worth it.
8 of my friends (9 including me) never got any kind of response when we applied to work here, plus the managers always seemed to mysteriously unavailable to be spoken to.
I've literally called the store, got told to call back the next morning, called the next morning, "Manager on vacation" :/
when will they be back? " X date." Thanks so much.
Called back on X date, "She'll be here tomorrow morning" thanks.
Calls back tomorrow morning, "Hi, not here. Call again tomorrow morning."
At which point I came INTO THE STORE to speak with this elusive hiring manager, just to be told that they were on vacation and won't be back for a while.
: )
So suffice to say, hiring process seems messy, outdated, unreliable, and flat out non-functional at times.
The website needs to be updated, the employees need proper customer service training because regardless of what I'm calling about, and who's answering, it's always in a tone that sounds like I might aswell be interrupting a neurosurgeon mid incision.
The only redeeming quality of this store is what it sells, and I'm not talking standard groceries.
Not only does Shoppers have a decent spread of hispanic foods, ingredients, drinks & snacks, but it's also got some of, if not THE BEST donuts you could buy from a store.
The donut chains like Dunkin or Krispy Kreme got nothing on SFW donuts, they got Croissant donuts (Cronuts), marble iced, Holland Creme (my favorite), jam filled, lemon pudding filled, boston creme, and of course all your standard donut types like powdered, brown sugar, plain and glazed, not to even mention some specialty ones they have on occasion like the apple pie filled brown sugar, or marbled icing cronuts.
Plus they're reasonably priced, which automatically raises the rating for me.
(Next I get donuts I'll snap some pictures and add them!)”
“This place is what other dollar stores should aspire to be. The selection of items is huge and not an inch of space wasted. I am also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the items I brought from here.”

“As far as 7-11's go, this is actually a good one. The employees have always been friendly and helpful. Only complaint is (I wish they would keep up on the hot dogs) as they are always out.”
“There is ALWAYS a line of cars fighting for a spot, rudely clogging up the street and making traffic difficult. Why? Because the gas here is almost pre-biden priced. It's at least 50 cents cheaper than anywhere else nearby. No wonder it's always a fight to get in. It would be perfect if the narcissists didn't clog up the streets nearby.”
“This is going to be my new auto shop, it’s great — their work is top quality, reasonably priced, and the mechanics are efficient, honest, AND friendly on top of it all!”
“The place and the people work well together and have items that the residents, tourists, and local businesses need. They have help so many people with value and service.

Good lord, it's tough on everyone right now, but get a legal job, get two, get three, get as many as you need.

“The most thorough, competent, and honest service station you could ever find. They have never tried to upsell me anything, and have always done excellent, prompt, and reliable work. And if it doesn’t need something — like brake work — they’ll tell you. And I love the people that work there.”

“Speedway can only get a 20 out of 20 from me not just for price but moreso for its role it played for me in fighting a red light ticket just up the block at Gibbons and South Patrick street. Speedway is one curb cut away from Gibbons which is very important in my story. You see, the City Council of Alexandria has very specific rules on red light running IF you actually ran the red light.
I did not.
I fought the photo enforcement ticket all the way to Court which meant first going to the police station hearing to see the police 'evidence' only to watch the cop go white when I presented my evidence. The difference between the Cops evidence and mine was literally night and day, truly. The Cos evidence was tampered with.
How the gas station played in to beating the photo enforcement ticket was their kindness in letting me get gas of course and also park near their air machine so I could walk the steps from curb cut to Gibbons, photograph and video the light changes.
The Judge was gobsmacked. Took one look at the Cop, one look at me... I had exposed how the City of Alexandria knowingly, with intent, uses fraud to exploit Gibbons and S Patrick's light being a cash cow- minutes away from the highway interchange.
Thank you Speedway for your kindness and, of course, great gas prices in Virginia.”

“Our family has going here for over 7 years, and have consistently been provided top-notch care. Every pharmacist/team member we've interacted with has not only been knowledgable & helpful, but have taken time to build a rapport, and take a genuine interest in our well-being.
It's not uncommon for us to pop in to pick up our prescriptions and leave laughing after humorous life updates and the like. This extends beyond our family - they consistently treat everyone with that same level of attentiveness and respect. It feels like a true community pharmacy, something that is increasingly rare.
This team takes the time to explain everything clearly & patiently regardless of circumstance (navigating consistent company-wide changes, staffing challenges, & new digital processes).The fact that they are able to maintain exceptional customer care throughout it all, is a clear testament to their true value.”
“Abel was amazing, very helpful and greeted all customers. I'm usually really against the self check out because it's so impersonalable but Abel took that opportunity to really engage with everyone.”

“The owner has owned this store for many years and have had loyal, kind and respectful clerks that have been there for years. Freddy is a very friendly, smart, kind and has a great sense of humor who greets the customers with a smile and very quick and efficient and accurate with the customers purchasing and bagging.bThe store is always clean and fully stocked. The challenges that many stores face in Annandale is the day laborers congregating in the parking lots to earn employment daily. The small and difficult parking lot sits in the corner of Hummer and little river turnpike service road so navigating thru the outside parking lot is difficult. Along with the FCPD placing a large police camera and stand to monitor high traffic areas prone to crime. This also takes up space but I'm assuming it's a deterrent to eliminate or keep criminal activity to a minimum. The store doesn't allow service animals which is a double negative but maybe the community will convince the owner to allow behaved service animals due to Annandale being the home for a lot of PSH programs, and homeless to housed residents who require ESA or service animals to function thru out the day. The coffee and bakery section is always fresh and clean. The food section is always upheld with the highest hygienic practices.”

“I had an extremely helpful clerk who assisted me in finding a coupon. Humans are far better to deal with at CVS than automated self service machines which I steer clear of.”
“Very friendly service and delicious sandwiches. I love all the cool things they sell too. European chips and cookies, etc. we got the caprese sandwich and the BBQ pulled pork (I had them heat my pulled pork up because I don’t ever want that cold).”
