North of Uptown Charlotte, this gas station was the cheapest on my drive to Huntersville…read more Obviously, if you can wait 20 or so miles to get across the border into South Carolina at Carowinds, you'll want to do that and save 10 cents or so per gallon thanks to their lower fuel taxes in that state. But if not, here you go. Clean, well lit, roomy even. It is located immediately off the highway adjacent to the northbound entrance ramp. Super easy. All the snacks, all the drinks, lots of coffee flavors and fixings, tons of soda fountains with all the flavors of pop. Restrooms were clean today.

I was able to be hands free at the pump and didn't have to physically insert my card. If only I didn't have to touch the pump to put the gas in lol. I didn't go inside today but they do have hot food options, deli options and fresh fruit. They also have a picnic table outside if you need a place to rest and eat for a few minutes.

The parking lot is super clean with ample parking locations in case you don't need gas. Upon walking in the location is Ty clean as well. I had to visit the restroom and was surprised when I walked in and it was spotless. I'm talking true TLC. The floors, stalls, and sink area were clean and there wasn't the lingering smell of "rest stop restroom" odor. Lastly, I decided on McDonalds for my food break. Walking over from the store side I was able to see Subway, which was also super clean. This McDonalds offers the kiosk which connect to your McDonalds app, so if you're like me and love the app, you can place your order and just head in for pick up. The staff was very nice and welcoming. My order didn't take long and everything in the bag was fresh... If you know me, you know my undying love for Sweet Tea and this brew did not fail me. Perfectly sweet and Perfectly Fresh. This stop was a Win, Win, Win! Great Gas Prices. Clean Restrooms. And, Fresh Food!!! You can't go wrong with those!

FYI - this is a review for the "Carolina's NewsBeat" store specifically located in the Charlotte…read moreDouglas International Airport next to the Fox Sports Bar & Grill and Speedway Grill in Concourse E. I won't bother going into the prices ($2.78 for one 20oz bottle of soda) or even factor it into the review since it's not their fault and the markups are expected - - I can certainly accept that. What I cannot accept is employees who are not customer service oriented, unprofessional, unfriendly, and not willing to do what it takes to ensure an efficient and quality experience. If you're looking to buy something quickly on the run before you make your connecting flight, don't bother to stop here because the employees work at their own leisure and pace - even with the manager present. I walk in and see 6-7 people in line waiting to make a purchase. There are 3 Registers and minimum of 5-6 total employees (wow, seems overstaffed). At first glance 2 of the Registers were processing customers while the 3rd was occupied by an employee processing paperwork. I pick up my soda (Coke Cherry Zero - - the highlight of the experience) and stand patiently in line, now Customer # 6 in queue. Okay, I'll be patient. One of the employees ringing up customers then stops her work and turns around to help another employee who is asking questions and looking for something (a "book"). The 2nd register employee slows down her work to engage into the discussion for assistance. The other 2 employees then walk away to go retrieve the book leaving 1 register open with a (now) queue of 10 people waiting in line. Meanwhile the manager (I believe - male authority figure) is standing next to the register and is watching her process orders, plus the other register is still processing paperwork. There is also another employee standing nearby and starts talking with the other two who are looking for "the book". The Math: Out of 6 total employees 3 of them are standing around chit-chatting while 1 authority figure is observing and the other 2 are doing work where only one of those two is actually ringing up customers. The queue is now @ 10 and I'm # 5. Yay!! There is no sense of priority or urgency in processing customers in a timely and efficient manner. A few minutes later I move up to #2, and even though I'm next in line the manager proceeds to point to the girl behind me (#3) saying they will be able to ring her up on the other side (register now open - she finished her work). The girl behind me then looks at me and says "you're next in line so I'll wait after you....". Cool beans - - thank you. She (customer) was more cognisant than all of the 6 employees combined. I nearly put my drink down and walked off - - why should I even give this establishment my $$ and support when they don't seem to give a rats behind about quality customer service. If it wasn't for that damn hot sauce I just had w/ my meal I would have done it - - I swear! But a nice cold Coke Cherry Zero sounded so damn good at the time - - it was a thirst quencher, still not worth $2.78 but that's a whole other story. Like I said - - if you're in a hurry or really dislike waiting too long in lines, or don't care for low morale or poor customer service and execution then don't bother to stop in here. Lesson's Learned = don't do anything that would provoke you to having the need to buy something here (i.e. the need to quench your burning throat w/ a cold beverage due to excess consumption of hot sauce). Toodles!!

I…read moreliterally had no plans to buy anything, and yet I stood in a line for the chance to take a picture with the amazing cashier, Valerie. Valerie is literally one of the most positive people I've ever met in retail. And I used to work retail...She sings to the customers, lifts up weary and grumpy travelers with compliments and leaves you with a "Have a blessed day, baby!" The young soldier behind me in line greeted her like an old friend: "Hey, Valerie, how're you doing?" "Here's one of my troops!" She exclaimed. You are going to stock up on airport sundries anyway, so spend your money at Valerie's shop and just *try* not to leave in a happier mood.

Its a mini mart, cigarettes, gas, soda and I think I also saw beer/wine. My friend that lives in the area, says that the guy that was in the store the day we went in, allowed her to "run a tab" a couple years ago when she was outta work and she just went in a settled up on the day she got her unemployment check. You gotta love small town USA, where the folk are still friendly and your local mini mart will allow you to run a tab. I also saw lottery scratch off tickets. Since its within walking distance of my friends home, and the guy she knew that worked the counter was nice, if Im ever in Rock Hill again, I'd most likely go back just to stimulate the Rock Hill economy with this mini mart.
