This location is conveniently located for locals. It is easy to access when travelling west on Michigan Avenue. If travelling east on Michigan Avenue one needs to take the long turnaround to get to and then to continue on east another long turnaround is necessary.
The site is not kept up well. The exterior and lighting is fine, and the place looks attractive at night, but when you are up close it fails the attractivity test and, sometimes, the smell test, as the garbage pails near the pumps are not kept clear and sometimes there is other material on the property.
They have pumps for large trucks and that is fine but they also appear to be tolerant of owner/operators to park their trucks on the property. These can present a problem as they park haphazardly on occasion, are left running or appear in disarray or disrepair.
The store inside is well stocked but not with what one would call nutritious items. They usually have a few newspapers and most are up to date when they do have. The pricing at this location tends to the high side. The blaring loudspeakers pumping out commercial information and obscure sports material are a distraction especially when suspicious characters are in the area or Michigan Avenue is busy and the potential for a high speed entry by a customer is possible. read more
