“Last night November 26, 2021, I hit something the wind blew into the road around the corner from this market. The plastic object punctured my radiator and caused my car to leak antifreeze. I came around the corner and pulled over at the Roadside Market. I was an emotionally wreck after spending the holiday visiting family and my mothers grave (she passed away in August). Michelle is the sweetest and calmed me down. She made sure I was okay and that I had everything I needed”

“I walked in and was greeted by Becky. She loved this place and was so knowledgeable about everything, and everybody. I thought she owned the place, bragging on all the niceties. Non Ethanol gasoline, off road diesel. Just enough room for 1 big rig at a time to pull through and get some essentials and keep moving to make roof or next customer. Easy in and out! I told her my name and she was familiar with my name because she is married to John(Jody)Henson that I had not seen in 30 years, he is still a plumber, and she has never met me. I was blown away. Wow! What a hidden treasure! Like I went through time to get here, a diamond in the rough. Providing the needs of the community. If you want to voice your ideas just show up and grab a chair to share with the neighbors. Fresh scallops from Chesapeake, Va. , 8 pounds $120! Great value for the freshness.

“David is very nice! I’ve been served by him before and he was nothing but kind. There are plenty of rude customers who act like they’re always right and you’re supposed to do whatever they demand.About 6 months ago, I came in here and had a conversation with an employee for probably 45 minutes about what they’d experienced during their shift, how their boss treated them, etc. They said they really needed someone to talk to because they feel they can’t do anything right and they feel everyone treats them like dirt. They hugged me and told me they really appreciate me. You never know what someone is going through. The people at this E Washington Shell go through a lot!”

“I had a very good experience at Buchanan CITGO. The gas station was clean, well-organized, and easy to access. The pumps were working properly and the fuel service was quick and efficient. The convenience store had a good selection of snacks, drinks, and travel essentials at reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the stop smooth and pleasant. Overall, it’s a reliable place to fuel up and take a short break during travel, and I would definitely stop here again.”
