Very helpful staff in this small BP station, set in the cheery & quaint lakeside (or lake-adjacent) town of Koloma, which was celebrating its early August, annual peach-themed festival, when we visited. Lots of signage around the streets for the festival, guiding us and welcoming visitors generally.
The girls working behind the counter were quite friendly and let me use the (clean but basic) restroom, while another worker took the initiative to exit the store and help my friend-driver, who was struggling with the gas pump (without being asked).
They asked if we were visiting for the peach festival, and I said no, so they encouraged us to check it out. They also chatted about where we were from, etc.
Nice Midwestern girls, helpful and quite professional, making this pit stop memorable for us out-of-town visitors on our way back to the Windy City. In a sea of anonymous BP stations that we've visited now in our travels across IL, IN, and MI, over the past 4 weeks, what a difference a little kindness and positive customer service the young ladies of this local small town made! read more
