Nothing like driving along a rural road and needing gas...or a potty break...or a cup of coffee...or..."name that craving."
TJ's BP Station and Convenience store pretty much has got y'all covered. My wife and I discovered TJs on one of our many trips between Franklin and Fort Walton Beach. Now it's become a regular stop on our journeys to and from the Gulf.
Don't let the dimly-lit interior fool you. These down-to earth folks are great! Polite and eager to converse, we've found them to be congenial every time we stop. And they have just about anything you need in a pinch. If your don't see it, ask!
Best of all, while you might find gas prices up and down the scale along this highway. In fact, on our most recent trip we saw a range of 59 cents a gallon! But surprising as it might seem for a little country store, TJ's invariably has some of the lowest, most competitive prices along Al 137.
Tj's is located at the Intersection of Alabama 137 & County Road 4, 2 miles north of the Alabama-Florida line.
For those in a hurry, the single-user bathrooms are located alongside the northern side of the building, small but always clean.
For folks hankering for a soft drink or snacks - candy, chips, cookies, jerky (or other everyday convenience food) step inside. You can grab a slice of Hunt Bros Pizza; and at times there are homemade sandwiches or other hot items.
I'd add a check-in each time we've stopped, but the one thing they don't have at TJ's and the surrounding area is cell phone service. So here's your check in a few days late. See y'all back on the road. read more
