“I was driving along Wolftown-Hood Road on my way to hike Hold Rag when a deer showed up out of nowhere and plowed into my car. Feeling very frazzled, I was able to pull off at this country store and the lovely couple that owned this store came out, looked at my car, and helped me figure out what to do. I appreciate their kindness towards me, a complete stranger, and it made a world of difference in a scary situation.”

“I was helped by a food supervisor, who asked if I’ve filled out a survey, of which my feedback would help them out. I’m a member and looked for survey links in my email but none had been sent to me. So I’m writing a positive review instead. I have no complaints. With gas stations in general, you can’t expect perfection. Their food staff & cashiers are nice & friendly. The store & restrooms are clean and don’t have creepy vibes, unlike some other gas station chains. Plus, it’s not bad that on-duty sheriffs come here for pit stops. It makes you feel a bit safer. Driving logistics: If you’re driving northbound through Culpeper, this location is the last gas station until Bealeton, which is 1 hour away when there’s bad traffic.”
