The Allenstown Mega-X is located just north of the Hooksett TL along US 3/NH 28 (northbound).
This basic gas station/convenience store offers coffee, cold drinks, snacks, food, newspapers, tobacco products, lottery tickets, and miscellaneous items. There are six vehicle fueling positions (three 2-sided gas pumps lined up in a single row, spread out good), enter & exit only in the northerly direction, pay at the pump (credit/debit) for convenience.
This Mega-X location is not as fancy as the Hooksett Mega-X, which has "gas station TV" at each pump there and a Dunkin Donuts there too. The gas prices here are competitive and usually a penny per gallon lower than the nearby Allenstown Irving Circle K.
I stop at this Mega-X from time to time whenever I need to gas up my ride. Sometimes I like to pay cash (pay first then pump), but sometimes in the early morning hours the clerk is not present at the counter and I may have to wait a minute for someone to take my money.
The access to this Mega-X is very convenient for northbound drivers (right in-right out), but the southbound direction (left in-left out can be tricky) since US 3/NH 28 can get busy and it's a two lane road. Fortunately, there is a big shoulder in the southbound direction to bypass around the left turning entering vehicles. read more
