“POC Review: I experienced a true kindness at this stop. As soon as you walk in you see trump stickers and I was increasingly nervous as it was getting dark, my car was on fumes, the state of the country, and I am new to the area. The lovely manager verbally and physically drew a map letting me know how to get to the nearest gas station AND directions to my final destination. The other individuals working there were also very friendly and helpful during this time. Be mindful sometimes the gas pumps are a little wonky, definitely call ahead if you need fuel. Mart has plenty of great items!! I felt safe and the information was very reliable. I literally yelled Eureka!! as I approached the landmarks she described. I am truly thankful for your kindness?✌?”

“We happened upon this gem of a place while on vacation. It has a little bit of everything and the prices are outstanding. I've been craving pizza since we arrived. I can honestly say this place has THE BEST pizza I've ever ate. The crust is crispy, the peppers are my favorite and the sauce...WOW!! I am getting another one when we leave to go home it was so good. The ladies were exceptionally sweet and very accommodating the entire time we were in the store. This place will be a frequent stop of ours everytime we're in or around Seneca Rocks! If you haven't tried the food...you definitely need to!”
