    They have hard scoop ice cream, Faygo, Four Loco, and a beer cave. What more do you need?

    I absolutely HAD to update my review. It says it has been 7 years? Where do I begin? This is one of…read moremy most frequented establishments ever. I grew up going here a lot, and still go as much as I can. Let's begin with the employees. I know many of them very well, and even if I didn't they'd be great workers. They're fast and friendly. Gas prices are usually some of the cheapest around, but their pumps and overall station are something amazing. I personally am not sure I've ever experienced better pumps, better amenities around it, or a cleaner station in general. It's got an amazing atmosphere during the day, and if it's not too busy at night it's good too. Most everything feels clean, the station is well lit, and the convenience store doesn't just fall in line with your average ampm. I feel they've optimized it for the best walkthrough experience, but a lot of my thoughts on anything about this establishment could very easily be biased. They have amazing hot food! They don't just do the average gas station food, which is commendable. Along with seemingly 50 fountain drink options rivaling Coke Freestyle or Pepsi Spire, and a coffee and hot chocolate station, there's everything you need here when combined with the "cold" food and drinks in the rest of the store. Their bathroom can be questionable, but just look at the electric vehicle charger in front of it and pretend they don't have a bathroom. It'll maybe even help you feel less cramped in the parking lot, and less upset about the lack of parking spots. Those are very small complaints and only an issue during peak hours. Overall, this is one of my all-time favorite gas stations. Aside from the occasional missing food or beverage upon their release, and the previous small inconveniences I mentioned, I love stopping by here. OH! Super cheap prices in store, not just out. Their fountain prices are probably unbeatable, and the hot food is probably better priced than fast food. Plus you get it quicker. Alright, that's all. I love this place.

    $2.69 for a regular size Hershey bar! That's ridiculous! It's time for businesses to lower prices!!read more

    PSA: this used to be a Chevron. It's now a Sinclair…read more Where do I even begin with this establishment? It's tough to decide, because there are some major issues. I'm being very generous with my three out of five star rating on here. Let's start positive, I guess? I have always had no problems with the employees. There's usually a lot of them, this location usually has a high job turnaround, but the employees are always nice and ALMOST always friendly and talkative to boot. Another HUGE positive for me is their massive drink selection. I'm not referring to alcohol, because I don't drink. Never have, never will. But their selection somehow used to be even bigger, before they added the beer cave. It's still insane, and it's better than the food selection which already good. They have a reasonably big convenience store in general. But their drink selection isn't just big, they mostly get new things on time...or even before they're released. Sometimes WELL before the release date. So, there are my positives. Onto the unfortunate negatives. Maybe I'll just keep them brief. I hate talking negatively. First, the obvious. They have many photos of shoplifters up. Ever since they added the beer cave, which I believe is one of the biggest in town for convenience stores...the quality of clientele has deteriorated. Many customers are shoplifting now, to the point their photos get on the window outside...so, yeah. More homeless people, odd people, or both are starting to show up as well, hanging around outside or sometimes walking through inside. It's nothing crazy, but it's a huge change. This location is dead center of Kelso, the main road Allen Street, and just obviously used to be more busy with more out-of-towners and regular folks alike. Nobody has personally bothered me, anyone I know, or even just people in general from what I've heard. So, I think it's just starting to become an average location in town, which isn't inherently a problem. So that's why I'm able to give the generous three out of five star rating. I'm also able to get the rating slightly higher because, there are now plenty of periods where it's completely vacant, when it used to still be pretty busy. Nobody getting gas, shopping inside, or hanging out around the outside. So, if you time it right, you could be completely alone. Let's do another positive, because I really REALLY hate being negative. (But I also really hate dishonesty.) Their hot food selection is great. There's a wide variety of options, it's always in stock, and it's pretty affordable. I don't get their hot food A LOT, but it's ALWAYS tempting. Okay, back to another negative...and it's also associated with the new visitors. This location has started to become more dirty and messy. Outside it's starting to look worse, which is a huge issue considering they've NEVER had enough parking spots. Or enough parking spots that you can easily get out of. OR enough gas pumps, or gas pumps that are easy to maneuver when attempting to enter or exit. Inside, it's starting to feel cluttered and unkempt, along with also starting to feel dirty. Which is just unfortunate. I know it sounds like I'm low on this establishment, but I'm really not. It just used to be a much nicer location, and seeing its quality decline is disappointing. Especially considering they're now a Sinclair. I don't know if that necessarily means anything else new would occur. But a rebrand, to me, feels like the time to do so. Overall, you're unfortunately gonna find that this establishment is cluttered. Dirtier than before, with more shoplifting and interesting folks around. But for the many flaws, they make up for it with the inside the convenience store, with the fact that you should be able to stop by and have no issues with anyone, and with the how central the location is. Man, I hate speaking negatively. I hope this wasn't a bad review. Or a cluttered one, like the store.

    I stopped at this Sinclair to buy a drink, hot food, and some lotto scratch coins for my daughter's…read moreschool project. While I was in line, the cashier (a blonde woman with glasses) told me I couldn't take all of the coins and asked me to put some back. I told her that was fine and planned to do so, but I didn't want to leave the line. Instead of handling the situation professionally, she accused me of stealing, used extremely offensive language toward me, and involved the manager. The manager witnessed the situation, did nothing to address the employee's behavior, and told me to leave the store. I did nothing wrong and was treated with complete disrespect. No customer should ever be spoken to that way. Very disappointing experience.

    One of my all-time favorite Shell gas stations, became a Chevron last year. Time to provide an…read moreupdated review! First, I need to talk about the customer service. I've been a frequent customer since maybe 2008. This location somehow always manages to hire GREAT employees, and hold them for a long time. I was very close with a woman, who left closer to a decade ago, that had worked at the location for almost 30 years if I recall correctly. I miss seeing her, she once held a poster for my friend and I, since she knew we'd want it. I still have it up in my room. Let's next talk about the inside and the outside. Their gas station is amazing. While it may not consistently be one of the cheaper places, I don't know that it's too frequently one of the more expensive places. I think it's typically standard in the middle. Back to the pumps themselves. They're great, clean, and there are enough of them. Parking is SLIGHTLY cramped, but honestly that's the case with so many gas stations in town. AND it's better than most of those. So no points revoked for me. Inside is extremely clean as well. It's not the BIGGEST, but it's average sized and well stocked. They should have new products close to when they release, and their hand scooped ice cream is amazing. I haven't had it in a while, so I don't know if it's affordable, but there's not too many dedicated ice cream spots in town...so it can't be THAT crazy expensive, I'd think. It's incredibly easy access. If you're heading north, just make two right turns and then turn right into the establishment. That's done with ease unless there's somehow insane traffic in our small town. If you're heading south, it just has one left turn and right lane merge to start with, and neither are very bad or difficult to do at all. Overall, their employees are some of the best in town. It is one of the CLEANEST locations in town. They have a good gas station AND convenience store. I really don't know of too many locations I've EVER been to, that compare to this.

    Hmmm...not a terrible experience, but also not one that would make me return…read more Prices are on the higher side, but using their app to select specific electronic coupons can help. Store was clean, and well-stocked. Line to checkout was long (just one checkout open) so I did the self- checkout. I didn't notice until after I got home that I had been overcharged - they had a special offer to buy four packages of specially marked meat and get them for $5/each. I bought four but was charged full price (overcharged about $7.00). I live out of the area so called to: A) arrange a refund B) let them know their system was not programmed correctly so they could fix it The person on the customer service line interrupted me and said "just bring your receipt in and we'll give you your money back". I attempted to explain that I live far away and was interrupted again with "you have 90 days." Having worked in customer service for a long time, I guess I just miss actual service recovery and genuine human responses. Even a quick "I'm sorry you experienced that" or something, but instead the response felt robotic and without a bit of empathy. It is what it is, I guess. It's unlikely I'll go back there.
