This is one of my frequent stops, since it's in a convenient location. The parking lot is huge, and there are three entrances: two from the main road, and one from the side road (Laurel Avenue). There are a good number of gas pumps, plus they sell ice and have a propane tank exchange.
The store itself, however, is tiny. There is no bathroom, which cost them a star. And, the register is located near the front door, so if there are as few as even two people in line, it's awkward going in and out of the store, as you have to literally dodge people. It's not unusual for one of the narrow merchandise aisles (usually the first aisle) to be filled with a line of people waiting to check out. Although the store is tiny, somehow it manages to cram in a few display cases of vaping juice and accessories.
Gas prices are okay, but one of the main reasons I frequent this store is that they have good prices on Garelick Farms milk ($2.99, versus about $4.50 at a supermarket). But, they are sometimes out of the 1 percent variety (grrrr!), and then I have to settle for a half-gallon.
Cashiers who work there are okay, although not the most energetic, upbeat people. And, on more than a few occasions, I've seen some sketchy customers that appear to be under the influence (thankfully, they walked to the store) or otherwise 'out there' in some way.
Besides being convenient, this business is in a beautiful location, right next to the Pawtuxet River and a man-made waterfall, and the former Anthony Mill, which is now a large apartment complex. The smoke stack of the former mill still proudly stands above the landscape. There is also a small parking lot for the bike path nearby. read more
