“Good selection of cold beverages. The grocery section has pretty much everything we islanders may need but can't get at the grocery store because a. it's before 8am or b. its after 10:30pm. Also their bathroom is cleaner than moms deli's. Love Chevron!”

“Blue collar approved. A basic gas station w/ bare essentials. No glamour or pretentious chain-store facade. This gas station has what you need. Many items to choose from, from basic convenience items, items for your car, to last minute grabs like chapstick or sunscreens. They have hot food items in a heated case, as well as ice cold beverages and microwaveable meals. Tons of snack items, packaged food. This no-nonsense gas station & shop is respectful and informative. The Philly cheese steaks are flavorful and hot! Definitely not seagull. If you're afraid of a little diversity, and scare easily from tradesmen & women, the Chevron is up the road.”

“The "new" owners have been here almost twenty years.They do a good job and treat me really well. They have conscientious employees and a large wine and cigar selection for a gas station (no mechanic, but air, water and vacuum)/ convenience store. They seem to have developed a cool little shopping center with Snapdragon, the liquor store, and the art gallery/bar and terrace almost European feeling if there was any architecture around.”
