It’s a pretty good gas station, and Sally the gas station attendant is always a breath of fresh air. If you’re looking for a decently priced gas station with nice people go here.

I’m giving this place a 5 star review to counteract the douchcanoe who gave them one star for not giving him and his race-​car buddies a discount for buying a lot of gas.
This seemed to me to be one of the last places to get gas before heading over the mountain pass, so I wheeled in and filled up. It was really busy due to weekend traffic and a large crew of bikers, but the staff was friendly anyway. They have bundles of campfire wood if you need it.

Expect very very little of this convenience store. Although the space is quite large inside, I can’t stay how long things have been sitting on the shelves… I would guess a long time for some things.
Pros:
–Big store, with a lot of very random things from camping supplies to touristy mugs to candy and drinks. Even has videos for rent.
–Has bathrooms, cleaner than a rest stop, but not much beyond that. They were good about having a lot of people coming in to use them, even thought they bought little or nothing.
–Large parking lot and they are nice enough to let floating trip groups park there
–You can use QFC/Freddy’s gas points
Cons:
–Although a lot of diversity in items, common to have only 3 or 4 of one item.
–Has hot dog maker, fountain drink, coffee, etc., but many of these things were not in operation. And by the looks of it, I wouldn’t want to drink the coffee anyway.
–Drinks were not cold… I assume they were trying to save money. Slightly above room temperature despite being in refrigerator.
–A little more cleanliness wouldn’t hurt
–Expensive.
I didn’t get gas, so can’t comment. Think it was a little more expensive, but it is one of the few gas stations around.
Since we are talking about a remote area, this is the only option you have, so definitely better than nothing.

The other reviewer kind of has the place pegged.
The couple that owns the place has always treated me fairly well, though they were never particularly friendly and it seemed like they just wanted to get my money, which they did in great quantities.
Why Unilocal about a gas station? Because when you’re in Marblemount, that’s really all there is for quite some ways. To its benefit, this place has lots of stuff (food, camping stuff, and a surprisingly impressive cheese selections), including firewood, which is great in a pinch.
But you’re going to pay for it. Dearly. Even after buying a few items I’ve come out on the bad side of $ 30. I’m sure part of that is the fact that we’re in the middle of nowhere, but in the future I’ll probably give it a shot down at Chum’s Chevron down the road.

Hey Lil-​Miss-​Gas-​Station-​Owner-​Lady: don’t get pissed at me and my large group of cohorts when we swarm your gas station with ninety eight BEAUTIFUL pieces of machinery, each jockeying for position at one of your (whopping) four 92-​octane juice dispensers. We are just so sorry that we had the potential to increase your sales for that day by 1,350% since you live out in the middle of friggin’ nowhere and thrive on tourist traffic alone. Our apologies for taking up every bit of pavement in your parking lot waiting to give YOU business.
When you came storming out of that silly cave yelling at us — with your saggy boobs swaying in the non-​existent breeze — there was a reason we gave you the one finger salute. You’re a very old lady who doesn’t like us «street racers» or whatever-​it-​was-​you-​thought-​we-​were taking up spots for all the other tourists. Even if our cars are way more attractive than any Winnebago that passes through this gorgeous stretch of highway.
Take it from me and about a hundred other car enthusiasts: send your money a few hundred feet south to the Chevron station where the owners were more than willing to give such a large group a discount and not bitch at us for (oh my god!) pumping gas.
