Union 76

In my quest to find a perfect place to top off my gasoline every other day in the early morning hour, I feel confident this location is all that. I commute from Rancho Cucamonga to DTLA 5 days a week via the 210 FWY to surface streets through Pasadena to access the Arroyo Seco Parkway (110). After reading mixed reviews I felt even more convinced it was necessary to let others know how I have been welcomed by the night attended «Vic» who’s treated me fair and courteous on a first name basis.
This location is situated on the N/​W corner of Sierra Madre and Foothill blvd and is super easy to access from exiting the freeway via Madre exit. It’s ideal especially if you’re traveling by night. The property is well lit with lighting and camera’s easily exposed which gives me a sense of added security. 12 gas pumps with trash cans, clean windshield liquid with a sturdy squeegee to clean your windows and paper towels. Air and water with a coin value but you can ask to have them bypass and let you have those amenities at no cost. You won’t find mechanical services besides gasoline but you can expect to find a small minimart with your average stuff such as cold drinks, snacks, coffee, cold sandwiches, first aid, basic auto accessories, cellphone accessories, calling cards, a 3^rd party ATM and a unisex restroom that is routinely cleaned. You will also notice because the building structure is very old, ownership added a handicap ramp to comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA).
I also like how the owner invested in giving the corner property added character by adding colorful groundcover at every pump, along the front of building, corner signage with gas prices and more groundcover and incorporating a really neat canvas awning at storefront.
Other notable landmarks are Kaiser Permanente Medical office building, El Torito restaurant and Sierra Madre Villa Metro Link (Gold Line) offering a 4 level parking structure.
Keeping it real :)

ok gas station, way more expensive than some others in the area, but they are close the Freeway, maybe that’s why they can they afford it

Great clean modern looking gas station with a prestigious fountain at a prime location all of which I love! but overpriced compared to the 76 on Lake/​Green so I rarely get gas here except in emergencies

My sister stopped by about 40 minutes ago to get gas. She put in $ 10 and said her meter was going up faster than any other gas station. She didn’t think much of it until her gas meter in her car didn’t go up. She got the receipt and went inside to tell the worker. He gives her a NASTY attitude and tells her that she’s the first customer to tell him that so she’s wrong. She just wanted her money back but he kicks her out saying he’s closing. She went to a different gas station and filled up $ 20 and her gas meter reached full so we know that it wasn’t her car meter that was broken.
DO NOT GO HERE. I will be reporting this to the 76 corporation and taking whatever action necessary. It doesn’t matter if it’s $ 10 or $ 100 you don’t treat people like that especially if they are your customers. You will no longer be able to steal any more money from any other customers. If you’ve had an experience like this here, please let me know.

Horrible service and overpriced. Fat bald guy strikes again in form or rude jerk who wouldnt let me use the bathroom. Cause «it’s for customers only”– i had my gas going at the same time and ran in to pee as it filled up. I pointed at it and he didnt say anything no, sorry no nothing. So i went and used the bathroom.
Ive been here 1ce or twice before he is always in a bad mood.

Gas is pricey. and besides lotto, the little store doesn’t have a good variety of things. and those are pricey too… especially considering 4 markets are only about 2 minutes away.

Warm evening and was cycling down from the canyon. My drink bottle needed some ice replenishment. Pulled into this place and a fat bald man pointed to the sign on the soda & ice machine that said, «No Free Ice.» Just my luck. I turned to him and said, «That’s the first ‘No Free Ice’ sign I’ve ever seen in my life… «
Also the first time anyone’s rejected the idea of donating a few ice cubes to this weary cyclist. BTW, the fat, bald guy happened to be the proprietor. Moral of the story: This is not the kind of place you want to patronize.

Its a gas station… how fancy could it be? Haha
