It’s a convenient stop for those headed off the turnpike, going towards I-​81, as it’s right on your right. We always find that the gas is a penny or two per gallon higher than the Shell & BP up the road, but those are on the opposite of the road (it’s worth my 20 cents to not have to go across traffic on US 11 twice). There’s a Wendy’s on site that normally offers some sort of discount (two trips ago it was 10% off your order with your gas receipt, last trip it was $ 1 off a combo if you asked for the discount). Restrooms are normally pretty clean. Unless you want to go down the road and past I-​81, there’s nothing else on the right side when headed north, so it’s our default stop. There’s a light right at the corner, making it pretty easy to get back on US 11 if traffic is backed up by the trucks.

This place usually has the cheapest gas in the area and everybody knows it. The township has complained to the company over and over again to expand how the tractor trailers get into the premises, because it backs up onto the main road and causes traffic problems. As for cars trying to fill up there, but weary on Sunday nights. You will wait for a while to get your car filled up because everybody and their mom is also trying to fill up.
