This week when the jackpot got up to 1.8 million dollars, lil ol' me trekked out to Altadena from Koreatown to see what magic this shop had. Listen, I'll kill the suspense right now and tell you here I am writing this Yelp review, working for Yelp and you're reading this...so a billionaire I am not. But I won $4! ...on a $20 ticket...BUT ANYWAYS~~~ It really was a cute and fun experience. I waited in the line, and a few news channels were there recording segments. Grandpa Joe himself was there with his family around him taking photos, as well. It was absolutely packed and felt like PowerBall Disneyland. I don't play the lotto much, but they say there's something magical at Joe's. Give it a go and don't forget me when you're diving into your riches like Scrooge McDuck~!

Went in for the first time to get my lucky Powerball tickets. Joe is the kindest man I've ever met!read more

The only problems I have…read morehad with this station are one time someone skim my debit card after I had pumped gas there, and drained the money out. Luckily it was restored after a fraud investigation. The other problem I have here is the pumps are difficult to use sometimes, and they tend to pop off while you're pumping your gas. The last time I went by there it was under construction in January 2026. Hopefully when the repairs are made, they won't have these problems anymore.

There's an ARCO gas station just across the street and gas here is $0.50+ more expensive than the ARCO gas station, but many visitors come here to pay homage and buy few Lottery tickets to see if lightning can strike twice. Unfortunately the restroom here is not available for public so I am knocking a star and the convenience store has a really small & limited selection (knocking another star.)

The first time we went the owner refused to let us in and did not want to unlock the door. He blamed the door being locked on "homeless people near by " but there was absolutely no one there NOR at the gas station in general. He finally let us in but was staring at the camera the entire time as if we were going to steal. The second time and last time we went, the owner was in the back eating and we had to knock on the window to get his attention due to the door being locked but the sign said that it was opened. This time he refused to let us in and said the reason was because the last time we came we only purchased one item. (We got 3 things) we were slightly irritated so we just decided to walk back to the car since it was late. Immediately after we closed our car door, he let in a customer that also had to tap on the glass to get his attention but yet still refused to let us in because of the little amount of things we previously purchased. Overall the owner is extremely rude and the door is always locked even though the sign says open. I would recommend getting your gas from another shell.

Sure enough... my gas gauge was blinking upon leaving my workout location LOL. I had to quickly find a gas station. Well, the nearest gas station was at least 5 minutes from where I was at. It was between Chevron or Shell. Guess who won? You got it... Shell! Funny, as I was driving to Shell, I saw Chevron, but it was on the other side of the street that I was driving on so I said I'll just stick with Shell. Great corner location on Del Mar Blvd and Arroyo Parkway. Clean exterior. Prices were several cents cheaper than Chevron... yay! They also have a food mart, but I didn't go in. I prefer to pay at the pump unless I really need to go inside. If they run out of paper, I just make myself a note on gas cost and be on my way and not bother going inside to get receipt. Anyway, thanks Shell for being present when I needed you most!

Honestly I stopped by to see if there were restrooms available (obviously I would've bought…read moresomething if so) but the guy said no. Now I'm looking at the reviews and it says yes. That was a bad enough experience that I'll not fill gas up here again like I do in the mornings or evenings before or after work. TBH the prices are pretty high compared to even chevron down the street. (Yes it was that serious). EDIT: Shibli, thank you for your response; however, as a business/franchise owner you should ensure that ALL platforms reflect the correct information especially if this has been unavailable for 5+ years -- you've had plenty of time to correct this information. As for the Chevron comment, this is my observation and was took my business there as of this morning. Thank you. These small things make the difference on whether someone will use your service moving forward.

How embarrassing! What kind of customer service do they offer? I put gas in the tank and have to remember to go somewhere else just to clean the windows? It's crazy. I'm not going there anymore unless I'm running out of gas.

I looked at my gas gauge, saw one bar left, and I said to myself... I'll be back LOL. Indeed I returned in the afternoon. After getting out of my car, I looked on the ground and it was stained with oil and gas which is normal at a gas station. The grounds were well swept and clean though. Anyway, I filled up my gas tank. Prices were okay for the location. I recall having some scratchers with me at the time. I pulled them out and walked into the Circle K mart. There was only one person in front of me. He was redeeming some scratchers as well. When I got up to the counter, I was greeted by a really nice gentleman. Thank you sir! He asked me to scratch off the bar code. I didn't know what he was referring to because I've never been asked to do so. Anyhoo, he said he's not allowed to scratch for the customer. I guessed the area to scratch and luckily I guessed right. Whew! All was good. Redeemed $19 and I was off. Thank you Mobil!
