“I stopped here only to fill up my gas tank but after doing that, I decided to go inside; intended to get chips and a drink. From the outside, I didn't realize the place is larger than it looks. I stood in line and once I reached the counter, I saw they had fried chicken. Curiosity got the best of me and I bought a chicken breast to see whether it would be tasty. To my pleasant surprise, it was BETTER than the fried chicken from several other gas stations (I like to try fried chicken breast from different gas stations for some weird reason)! It was a bite-sized piece for only $1.25 and it wasn't dry!!! Plenty of good crispiness and taste. This is now one of my favorite two gas stations from which to purchase a piece of chicken breast!!”

“Just stopped in for some soft serve ice cream. Hershey's of course. Omg it was so good. The cup was enough for 2 people so I shared it with my husband. He enjoyed it as much as I did. Friendly staff.”

“Great gas and love the speed pass app. It's a very convenient and safe way to purchase gas. Mobil is a very trusted brand and is a top tier fuel which is recommended by most car manufacturers today.”

“Well looks like they have new management and trying to straighten things out around there. I will say this tho this was a much better spot when blimpy subs was there. There isn’t much of a food selection yet but I see the place looking better. Maybe reduce some of the shelving of crap and offer more convenience items that circle is a busy place at lunch time and most of us only have 30 minutes and most warehouse jobs are bout 7 minutes away so it’d be nice to have more options so everyone isn’t piled up at 711 and Hardee’s Blimpys used to be the spot.”

“This is a small country store that sells a small variety of things, but it is very pricey on grocery items, they do have fair prices on things like snack foods, sodas and other beverages. Gas prices are reasonable. Unfortunately I can't say that all the staff is pleasant to deal with.... I know if Florence is working I will be greeted with a smile and friendly attitude, my opinion she's the best employee that Holley's Market has.”

“I went to McDonald's for coffee and steak and egg bagel. They were short on staff and moving too slow. I went to The Shell station next. I was greeted as I entered the store. I received generous portions of eggs and potato wedges. The coffee was good. I needed chicken for the homecoming at church on Sunday. I asked if their chicken was good, Michelle said Yes. I ordered 100 pieces for 8 :30- 9 Sunday. My brother picked it up, it was ready on time. The chicken was Really Good. Tasty and Not tough. I could not have been more pleased with the chicken. Thanks Michelle and Crystal!”
