This Shell convenience store/station sits right on a prime scenic lot on Highway 42 overlooking the…read morebay.  I couldn't believe that they had the same $3.899/gal price for regular 87 octane that matched the cheapest price anywhere in Door County at this time.  I've seen Shell prices at a lot of places over the years in both the US and overseas, and they're ALWAYS one of the highest priced brands, ha.  I had to fill up here just for grins, even though I really didn't need to.  It was an old style pump too, with no card reader, no digital screens, and I was flabbergasted and paralyzed for a moment!  I thought, well, I guess have to go in and give them my credit card for a prepayment.   But nope, Andrea the clerk inside, just says fill it up and come back and tell me how much it was.  Ha, a total old school honor system here, and a nostalgic trip to the past.  I'll go with 4 stars.  Now if they had an attendant come out and check my oil dipstick and clean the windshield and pump the gas, I'd go with 5 stars 4sure! ps - Inside the building, they have a standard, small convenience store with pre-packaged goods, i.e., no hot food.

Stopped in tonight with my wife for a burger. There were a few people at the bar and one table…read more We sat there for 10 minutes, no one waited on us. I am waving my arms at the bartender as she continues to ignore me and busy with flapping her gums to a patron at the bar. Finally she comes over and brings us a drink. The waitress give us menus and takes off. Again we are waiting to place an order. I decide it is time to go to the Wrangler and get some real service. Walked up to the bar to pay for the drinks and told the owners who where just standing around that they just lost 2 customers. They seemed uncaring and we left, never to return.

Well I've now been to a Piggly Wiggly, a grocery store that has long been spoken of in family lore…read moresince my mom grew up in Wisconsin. I appreciate that it is what it is--a grocery store. It's a reasonably sized store, because that's what they do--they don't sell sushi, or have a a huge deli and bakery and butcher and all. They have an alcohol section--of course, this is Wisconsin after all--and it's not small for the size of the store. It was easy to shop, and they have t-shirts/onesies/sweatshirts in case you need some PW merch.

Wow! A real Piggly Wiggly!…read more They are gone from the south but not Door County. Store clean and packed w good variety. Wish I still had my Pig Card!

After everything else in the area closed, we were searching for a place to eat.

They offer some of the best priced gas that I see on my whole trip. The pumps are modern, and for some reason that matters to me. I get pissed when I pull into a station and it's got old fashioned pumps with no place to put a credit card. And lifting up the handle after you put the nozzle in your car is old news too. This place has the right things going for them. The inside of the store has a variety of hot food, hot drinks, and lots of other things in between. I was quite skeptical getting chicken fingers from a gas station but seeing as how I was starving and they were only $2.69 I decided to go out on a limb and try them. They did not disappoint. I just wish they had Bosco Stix like the one on the MI/WI border.

He helped me find a zip up. You do pump the gas out front and then come in to pay.

Really surprised at large selection here considering the size of the town!!…read moreExample: right by the register you will see a small shelf of cream liquor, flavors such as orange cream or dulce de leche. I can't remember the brand but I have ordered them from the liquor stores near home, (Detroit suburbs), and have never been offered the smaller bottle. There are many high quality flavors to try and a $24 bottle is too much for one person. I didn't even know the smaller bottles were available. Ian going to recommend the banana cream or the salted caramel over ice. We just needed a small, decent vodka, (Smirnoff or better), and they had several to choose from at that level. (Many above or below as well) Very nice young lady working there as well.
