“This Valero Fasmart located in the heart of Collinsvile works to keep us going almost 24/7. They do close around 2:30 am but re-opens at 5. They offer an online incentive program that gives redeemable points to its customers. Every week there are deals and some weeks you’ll get something free just by scanning your card. Every time you scan for purchases you’re points add up. 250= $1. On certain holidays, you’ll receive free Fasbucks so make sure to check the app. I know of Christmas Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving having a $3 reward. There could be more, those are the ones I know of. Just make sure you use them when they become available bc after the alotted time they will be gone. Online ordering is also available and you can get items delivered, including alcohol, as long as you’re of age. The store is relatively clean, they have a public restroom, car wash, and air compressor. The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful. I enjoy my stops in and recommend this store become one of yours.”
“This store is always stocked with the products I need, as well as a friendly and helpful staff who greet me every time I enter the store. They have wonderful customer service and are always ready to lend a hand in finding any particular product I may be looking for. Thank you and keep up the good work!!”
“This CVS is fairly nice. It is located in Collinsville, Virginia, along Business 220. This CVS is a relatively old standalone store and still has the kind of crusty carpet interior - that seriously needs some help if you ask me. Nevertheless, the store? It's spacious, mostly clean, and relatively well stocked. I've had infrequent experiences with the pharmacy, but they're pretty nice. The staff in the regular parts of the store have also been super nice! Overall, this store could use some help like a resealing of the parking lot, and new carpets. It isn't a bad store otherwise and is slightly above average.”
