Family Express on 61st Ave. in Hobart use to be a Thornton's gas station until it was converted into a now Family Express. I could not find this particular station on Yelp because it was still registered under the Thornton"s name. I'm giving this gas station four stars because it is in a prime location off of the expressway and it is a very clean facility, outside and inside. The staff are very friendly and if there is a line, they are able to get through it very quickly. I enjoy going to it because it is in an open environment where you can feel somewhat safe and get your gas quickly. The station is always heavily lit with lights that you don't have to be afraid to get out of your car at night. I have never had to wait for a pump because it is a large enough gas station equipped with enough pumps to handle a large crowd. I also like the parking lot, it is large enough to handle cars moving in and out. Cars are not parked on top of one another, that you feel that you're going to hit another car when opening your door or back out.
The grocery section of the station is also very nice, they keep it heavily stocked with snacks and other items that may be necessary at the time. The drink stations and counters are always clean, where I don't mind spending a couple dollars on their products. I have never used their restrooms so I can't comment on that area, but I can say this is a pretty good gas station. read more
