We used this gas station/general store to fill up on gas and to get some snacks while traveling along I-64 and after having visited the Sandstone Visitors Center (which is one of the visitor centers for the New River Gorge National Park).
Unlike many of the interstate's shiny new, large corporate stations, this Citgo and General Store had the feel of a mom-and-pop business that has been serving the needs of the rural local community for decades. The gas pumps, which didn't have a credit card reader, were probably installed decades ago, but they worked just fine (after we went into the shop to pay).
We also picked up a coffee and pecan cinnamon roll from the shop, which we ate in our car in the parking lot. We were intrigued by the sticker on the roll's packaging. This Citgo shop was a retail outlet for the Fruits of Labor Bakery in Reinelle, WV, which we learned from their website is a culinary and agricultural training center that provides persons recovering from addiction a safe place to learn job skills in a vibrant profession.
In sum, the gas station and store were clean, with plentiful parking. Staff were friendly, and the store had what we needed at competitive prices. There was easy enough access from I-64 and from the Sandstone Visitor Center. We also note that that there was a steady stream of locals coming in to pick up items from the store. read more
