“J.Gills may be the best stocked store I`ve ever shopped. Located next to a huge recreation area they are stocked with quality fishing, camping, and water recreation supplies, and a good selection of beverages and groceries ( including produce!!). While not as cheap as a big box store, they are certainly well stocked. Employees are friendly and helpful , so is the owner.”

“Busy little store with great fried chicken. I asked for a leg and thigh and got a wing and breast...so there's room for improvement. However, they offer quite a variety of lunch food items. And they're currently undergoing a bit of a remodel. Great store. Great location.”

“We have used Parker Oil since 2018 and they are very customer service focused with quality professionalism. They also help with minor concerns with gas appliances, but the staff we have dealt with has been mixed, as to their expertise in repairs. I woul still recommend them.”

“Exxon, triangle grocery # 2 is what’s on the sign. Stopped here after a job to get some gas and I was pleasantly surprised to find some of the best fried chicken mashed potatoes and broccoli casserole I have ever tasted! Prices were reasonable for the food that is. Of course you know the gas right now is almost 5 dollars a gallon! ?. If you’re in the area and you want something good to eat this is the place to be highly recommended!!! They have seating area outside picnic tables as well as a few tables on the inside of the store..???”
