“I recently stopped by the Exxon and had a great experience. The station was clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasant place to refuel. The convenience store was well-stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks, and the staff was friendly and efficient. The fuel pumps were in good working order, and I didn't encounter any issues. Overall, this Exxon station provided a quick and hassle-free stop on my journey, and I'll definitely consider stopping here again when I'm in the area.”

“It appears that A LOT of people go to the 7-11 to use the bathroom…?? I’m sorry but in my 50+ years of hittin up 11’s for whatever has always been good. Thnx 7-11!!! I typically take care of bathroom business where I live and not at a 24 hr. convenience store ? Why are so many people in the area needing their bathroom? Get an Icee or snack and chill. It’s a 7-11 not the Hampton Inn. Check.?”

“Kind, helpful person on staff made the experience more pleasant than it otherwise would have been. They also provided water and squeege to wash car windows. Unfortunately, the bathroom was not as clean as I would have wished and soap was unavailable in the bathroom. They did, however, thoughtfully provide hand sanitizer just outside the bathroom, which is a nice touch I wish more people would provide.”

“I'm always looking for their discounted items but every time I go in, they are sold out of them. But still, great store to get a good deal, especially with coupons.”
