I honestly did not want to stop here but I needed a bathroom. Like in a bad way. So I gathered my strength and full bladder and headed inside. I had not been inside a Kwik Shop in many moons. I was prepared to expect the worst.
Surprisingly, this shop was very clean and well-lit. The bathrooms were sparkly and not at all what I had imagined. I was more than pleasantly surprised.
Since I was there already, I decided to get a drink and a snack for the road. I found everything to be very stocked and arranged neatly. The products were orderly and eye catching. There seemed to be a visual rhythm to the placement of the drinks and snacks. All the self-serve stations were clean and well attended to, as well.
Products were easy to find and there was no dust on anything. Put that on my list of things to hate about most convenience stores. This store also had a supply of fresh foods in a cooler type area that I found to be appealing. This store was top notch in terms of cleanliness and product selection.
This is always a busy store and that is a good sign! Constantly a stream of people in and out. This store is on a busy street corner so that helps. Interestingly, there is a great deal of construction going on right now and the roads in front of this store are blocked off. Still there was a great deal of customer traffic which was amazing.
The reason for my lack of 5 stars is because of the clerk behind that counter. She could have cared less for my existence on earth. She did not smile, she did not acknowledge me, she was just taking up space. I was quite disappointed because that late at night, a smile would have been nice. Nope, not getting it out of her.
Other than the crusty clerk, this is a very good store for those convenience store needs. read more
