I've been stopping at this Shell station for years on my way from Calgary to Swift Current. Once upon a time it may have merited a 4 star. It had a restaurant going with half decent food, clean washrooms and a pretty efficient turn around time.
Now? Well, now the restaurant is closed, the pumps could use updating, the washrooms have doors with no locks on them and it feels as though it's just not making enough money to clean itself up a little. Maybe it's got a new owner who's like that landlord who just doesn't see the value in fixing your broken screen door.
At any rate, the employees are still friendly, the convenience store part is still well stocked, but if it weren't for Shell still accepting Airmiles, I'd be stopping in elsewhere down the road. read more
