Bill’s Superette

I love this place. Friendly staff, they speak to you like a human being. Prices are a little high but you are paying for the convenience of not having to go over to Cub or Festival.

The staff here is so friendly! They have a great selection of everyday essentials. This place is a great neighborhood staple.

I’ve been a loyal patron of Bill’s ever since their only local competitor, Tom Thumb, went out of business a decade ago. Tom Thumb would wage gas price wars back in the day, but Bill’s stays reasonable on its own.
The cashier staff is half weirdos, half nice teenagers. I don’t mean ‘weirdos’ in a bad way, but I do prefer nice teenagers. If you’re buying an item that, unbeknownst to you, is buy one get one free, they grab another one for you. They wish you luck when you buy a lottery ticket. I’m feeling a little Lake Wobegon as I describe them.
The fountain soda/​coffee to go area is well-​maintained. As a frequent roadtripper, I wish all gas stations had the wherewithal to keep the urns full. I’ve never had the balls to try the hot food, though. I look at the hot dogs and flash back to Apu (from The Simpsons, naturally) dropping a hot dog on the floor, blowing off a little dirt, then returning the hot dog to the display. Shudder!
I’m taking a couple stars off because it can get dodgy ’round these parts at night. Kids tend to congregate outside and the rent-​a-​cop can only be in one place at a time.
They sell Heggie’s pizza! When I first saw it on the sign at the corner, I nearly got my car on two wheels in a Heggie’s-induced frenzy.
The pumps were just replaced a few weeks ago and they’re much easier to use.
