I was driving down Ohio Street today when I noticed the price of gas on their tall sign with the…read morebig red LED numbers. It was $3.42 (that's credit price, the cash prices was $3.32) when everybody else and I do mean everybody, even the cheaper places, all advertised gas for $3.75. I didn't think the sign was right, but I turned around just to see if the pump matched the sign and it did. I could not understand why they were thirty cents cheaper unless it was to drive foot traffic into their new store. This place opened in December of last year so they have only been open four months. If that is their strategy, it worked on me. I went inside since I was thirsty and just to see what it was like. It is a larger than most Circle K stores. While they do not have a kitchen that takes orders like Wawa (breaking ground this spring at St. Rd. 32 & Hazel Dell Rd. in Noblesville) or Quick Trip, they do have tons of ready to eat food that takes up the whole east end of the store. This is also where there are several fountain drink stations and coffee stations. On the other end of the store is a whole section of wine in addition to the usual beer refrigerators. The entire back wall is all canned or bottled drinks of more than the usual inventory of convenience stores. There is an inside dining counter with a charging station for each seat. Each charging station has one USB and one A/C current plug-in. There is also an outdoor eating area with three tables seating four each. They have a unique self check out station. Instead of scanning the bar code of the item, you just place your items down on this pad that is larger than the largest laptop, keep them separated, and it does the rest. They also have a lottery ticket vending machine for scratch offs which helps with the line not moving slow with people who like to buy a lot of them. I bought my favorite grape Gatorade Zero. Why did it taste better than the ones I get from the grocery? Just because it was a larger size? Baffling!

When I spotted this on Yelp, I was shocked. Outside of Lancaster County, PA, I didn't expect to…read moreever see these. However, something about the logo of the store reminded me of something else: QuikStop convenience stores in California and Kroger (and Ralphs?) filling stations in Ohio, Indiana, and wherever else they are. I'm guessing that Kroger operates all of the convenience stores in Pennsylvania that are labeled Turkey Hill. In any case, I got some TH Iced Tea with Lemon that I usually don't see. I'm really not sure that Kroger has the small bottles or not. This location didn't have half-gallon jugs of that flavor iced tea, unfortunately, although the Raspberry and Peach flavors were there. I'm not sure why they have the store at this location without a trail of stores all the way from Lancaster County, PA, but it was a welcome sight.

Used to absolutely LOVE this store. Best coffee in town. Super friendly employees. Found…read moreeverything I needed, including inexpensive cheese sticks for my dog. Kroger has sold this store to an independent company and they have made so many changes. Coffee quality is poor. Took away the ATM machine, eliminated a lot of their inventory that used to be available daily, hired new people that are not as friendly as the 'regular' people were. I am now looking for a different place to go every single day for coffee and a snack for my dog and fill up my gas tank once a week. Sorry, Turkey Hill, but you are letting a lot of people down. I guess it wont matter to you, though.

This Sunoco and the Mooresville Sunoco will be my "go-to" stations from now on after the bad…read moreexperience at a competitor station. The price per gallon is always very nearly the same as my old go-to station. This location will only be a few blocks out of my way. It was not crowded at all here and hasn't been when I have gassed up in the past. But the good news is they have a full service convenience store available here. Plus there is a Noble Roman's Pizza inside this store as well. When you are on the go and have no time to stop for fast food even through a drive-thru, as I was today running errands then heading out for Plainfield for an eye doctor appointment, their already cooked individual pizzas sitting under the warmers were ideal. The pizza was pretty good considering it was made in advance. Better than a hot dog in my opinion. Restroom was out of order today, but that looked very temporary since is was a hand printed sign on the door. Oh yeah, they had the new Dr. Pepper Zero in the refrigerated drink cooler. I like the new zero much better than the old diet.
