“Walked in to get lotto tickets and saw they had a cafe that does Teriyaki take out! The person at the the register was super nice! Looking forward to get Teriyaki and take to Tumac Taproom across the street!”

“This is a relatively new (2024?) location. It is very clean with friendly staff. I won't go back however because there are only two restrooms (2 single stall all-gender units). Each time I've gone on there's been a wait, sometimes a long wait while I am desperate to go! Also there are no towels or squeegees at the pumps to clean your windows. AM/PM is nicer than the Love's across the street, but they have large restrooms and towels at the pumps.”

“September 30, 2026 8:00 pm This is a nice location and I will definitely compliment the manager on purchasing quality squeegees. This person deserves an award. Other location managers are now on notice!”
