“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.”
“Amazing customer service ! Real and genuine professionalism! Kept it 100% about what my car needs and Care! With refreshments as I wait. Thank you guys all so much !!”
“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”
“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So suffice to say, hiring process seems messy, outdated, unreliable, and flat out non-functional at times.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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.

“Candace and the staff always greet me with a smile. The crew outside do a premium job always making sure to get all the kids crumbs out of the backseats. Thank you”
“I'm rarely not in there as part of my daily ritual, although the franchise as a whole needs to up its nutrient category, it serves its purpose. The store is always stocked and kept tidy. The staff members are wonderfully pleasant at any time of the day. ❤ this place.”

“great gas station... really cheap prices... however its almost always super busy... every one in a while most pumps dont work... the recipet printer doesnt work on any pump... and the recipets dont have enough info on them”
“Super convenient, the young man who is the cashier is great super kind and friendly and they really have loads of things so whenever you’re in a pinch it’s the best!!”
“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.”

“It would be nice to have the receipt paper at the gas pumps refilled. More than half the times I've been there, there is no receipt paper at the pumps. So, instead of having to go into the store, I take a photo of my purchase as a decent method of tracking it.”

“This is a nice new and clean 7-Eleven! I went in at 4:00 p.m. and wanted decaf coffee. They had it freshly made, which many stores don't do at this time of day. I greatly appreciated it! ☕”
“The best pharmacy staff. They know my whole family, our medical journeys, and ensures we all get our most current vaccines and has even given advice on newer/better meds available. Can’t say enough good things about them.”
“The owner of the store never is consistent with there store hours of operation. They open and close there Mart whenever they see fit and they don't care about inconviencing there customers whatsoever!!!”
“Have to give this location a 5 star for the simple fact of Amanda working here! I have neverrrrrr seen such a positive and enthusiastic worker at a 7-11 and she does it with a smile.”
“In My Recent Visit to CVS 8628 Richmond HWY Branch, I Had Excellent Experience, ABEL was Extremely Helpful, Polite and Outstanding Customer service Person, I Highly Recommend this Branch to My Friends & Family, Thank you 🙏”

“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.”
“What I love about this CVS location is the outstanding customer service I always receive when I shop there. All of the employees are super nice, but the one who stands out the most is Fara; she's simply amazing! She goes out of her way to make sure all of the customers that walk through that door are satisfied. She is super helpful to everyone who needs assistance, no matter how busy the store is; she gives each person her undivided attention. I'm impressed that she's so patient and understanding, even when some people aren't as nice to her. Fara is a total asset to the CVS brand, I wish you guys could clone her!! :)”
“This is by far the best and cleanest Walgreens location I have visited. The employees consistently greet customers when they walk in, ask how you're doing, and genuinely wish you an amazing day. Those small interactions make a big difference and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Unlike many other locations, this store is exceptionally organized, well-stocked, and spotless. You can tell the team takes pride in maintaining the store and providing excellent customer service. Shopping here is always a pleasant experience, and the staff makes customers feel appreciated and valued. Keep up the great work!”

“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 definitely enjoy this 7-Eleven! The people who work here have been nothing but nice to me, the store is always well organized and kept clean.Will definitely keep coming back!”

“Store was clean but their parking lot was not. Also, I don’t understand how no one at 7-Eleven corporate has done anything about the fact that the small Slurpee lids never fit correctly on the small slurpee cups. And why are the slurpee straws so freaking long?”
“If you’re looking for a local, simple place to stop in for a sandwich or a curated wine selection, this is the place for you. Very friendly and personable service. They mainly only do sandwiches but those sandwiches clearly use quality, flavorful ingredients and was made very quickly. They have a potato-bun style gluten free bread that tastes excellent and holds together, too.
I’d be happy to return, especially if I need wine advice!”
