“It is rare to find a gas station with a greater variety of snacks or food. We actually had a debate whether this gas station was better or the one we visited in Buttonwillow area to LA. I think this place won because there wasn't a line foe the restroom which were also clean.”

“I drive for Doordash fulltime so I frequent all of the AMPMs in the area - Napavine, Chehalis, Centralia, & Grand Mound. This is by far the best store in the area! U can tell the guy who owns it really takes pride in it because the place is always super clean and organized, and they're never out of coffee creamer or Juul pods. Also my favorite part is the people are super friendly but CHILL about it. They arent over the top with it they let u do ur own thing but will still be super friendly at the register. Oh and they dont push that stupid app rewards programs there either! seriously best part. Every other location pushes the rewards program so hard every time u go in its annoying i just want to be in and out when i go to a gas station i don't like all my info being tracked at every store u go to these days. Store and ppl here is a 10/10”
