I would recommend this location for a quick gas fill-up, but if you're looking for a clean and updated convenience store experience, you might want to consider going elsewhere.

This location shared not only a lot but a building with a McDonald's. If you look up McDonald's in…read moreBedford on Yelp you will notice many people mentioning that there is a gas station attached. You typical fueling station for GetGo. Enough pumps outside for fueling needs and with pay at the pump there is really no need to enter the store if you do not need to. Inside it is rather small and only offers convenience needs. Being attached to a McDonald's limits them with there kitchen. You cannot get an item made from the GetGo kitchen. Prices are the norm for these items. Special change often, look for the stickers for what is offered. Remember to use you Advantage Card if you have it, collect those extra cents off of gas.

I had just navigated loopy, intense mountainous terrain for 20 miles along Route 30 when I realized…read moreI needed to fill my tank. Shell was near 76 and I didn't feel like pulling off into a rest stop, so I pulled in. It was a fairly busy station -- I had a van hovering behind my car waiting for a tank -- but it was easy to pump the gas. Super easy merging back onto the road too. Please note that I am from South Jersey and I don't ever pump my own gas unless necessary; therefore, easy to figure out systems are nice. Also, I am from South Jersey so the largest mountain nearby is a garbage dump. Apologies if my fear of the mountainous terrain is unfounded!

I didn't stop here for anything, but driving by, you couldn't help but notice how cool it was. It…read morestarted in 1933, after the untimely death of Calvin Coolidge. With the start of the Lone Ranger as a regular radio show, this became a place to fill up the tank. Also with new president FDR starting his Fireside Chats, customers could fill up here and listen on the road. Not so much music yet, as Quincy Jones was just born, but that will come later. Cars with radios were gaining popularity, but so was air travel as the all-metal Boeing 247 took flight, but it wouldn't be filling up here. Nor would the vehicle that set the land speed record in Daytona Beach at 272 MPH. Try that on the roads of Bedford and you'd probably end up in the Juniata River. With Johnny Unitas being born just down the road in Pittsburgh, this service station would be a good spot to fill up on his journey to Baltimore a few years later. Football would be his game, even though the first baseball all-star game was played in Chicago. Speaking of Football, the Steelers played their first game and only scored a Safety against the Giants. The Giants would make it to the first NFL Championship game, but lose to... Da' Bears, who created a dance called "The first NFL Championship Shuffle", without a Punky QB though. The state liquor stores also started the same year in PA and still exist almost 90 years later. I would imagine one of my ancestors filled up here driving from store to store looking for that rare bottle. Nobody was filling up Nissans or Datsuns though, as that company started at the end of 1933 and didn't quite make it to Western PA yet John Dillinger also started his bank robbing career, and would need more and more gas stations to fill up. Another bank robber, Pretty Boy Floyd caused the Kansas City Massacre, which would eventually be connected to Bedford, PA with the Interstate Highway system. It's a far cry from what's happening in Germany with that country becoming a single-party state under the Nazi Party. God Bless America, right? TLDR: A lot happened in 1933!

This service plaza is one of the more interesting ones as it contains a lot of Turnpike…read morememorabilia. Long before the Turnpike became a way for the state to extract money from travelers to pay for continuous "improvements" and to fund other non-Turnpike related agencies and items, it was a super highway allowing fast, safe travel across the commonwealth. The Midway plazas were unique because they were across from one another and there's a tunnel that runs under the road that joins them; this tunnel has long been closed to the public. Anyway, if you have time, it's fun to look at the pictures that adorn this plaza and also to check out the items in the gigantic display case that celebrate the creation and history of this road.

In fact, there were parking spaces out front, which tells me it's not actually busier than normal.

Recently they did a teardown and rebuild of this location which still remains on the busy, turnpike alternative, Route 30. Somehow they were able to accomplish making this feel larger. I mean it does not feel anything like the way it did just a few months ago. It is like they elongated the lot. I'm not sure if the number of pumps changed, but they are all in a row which makes it easier to pull in and right up to a pump. Parking is ample and I suggest parking to the one side of the building. Sometimes it makes for an easy entrance. Especially if you are in need of the facilities, which I am while driving through. The facilities are right inside this set of doors. Inside, it feels much like a truck stop. Wider aisles, dedicated area for food ordering/eating, bigger selection. This location is set up with all the new toys, self checkouts included. Selection is great if you are looking for a snack or drink. Employees are great. Always seem to be lively and up for a chat with all the passing people on the highways. Just because you may have bypassed the turnpike doesn't get you out of the competition on the roads.
