This place is more of a lotto store than a convenience store.
This is a Shell station, and gas is about 6 cents cheaper than the Pilot across the street. There's a Subway attached if you're wanting to grab lunch on the road. The bathrooms are clean.
I didn't realize when I pulled up, but the primary business of this store is selling lottery tickets. Of the 8 other people in the line, I was the only one who didn't buy lottery tickets. Based on the number of Alabama tags in the parking lot, I guess people drive over the state line just to come here. Folks were getting $100s of dollars worth of tickets and then scratching them at tables set up just for that. Seriously, the ticket scratch off tables take up more room than the snack shelves. Because people are superstitious about getting the exact right numbers and tickets, the check out lines move very slowly. The cashiers are friendly.
If you're in a hurry, maybe go somewhere else. If you need lottery tickets, this is your place. read more
