Always delicious, with numerous flavors from which to choose. A nice, convenient, important place I'm happy to award five stars to.

They have a large selection of meat choices like Cajun turkey, beef gyros, and Philly cheesesteaks. You can either get a grinder which she bakes in store, a wrap or a hard roll. They also offer breakfast sandwiches. I got my husband the Philly with peppers and onions on a grinder. She cooked the meat to order not in a microwave and the bread was humongous! Very flavorful, big chunks of peppers, plenty of cheese. I got a turkey and Swiss on a roll with tomato and lettuce. I was actually a little overwhelmed at all the choices since it was my first time there so I went with a basic choice. The meat was sliced to order, the roll was large and fresh, made nicely and you get a bag of chips with each sandwich. She was very friendly and it didn't take long. Her husband was nice enough and gave my son two candies. We enjoyed the food and the fact that it was prepared fresh. I think we'll start going there for a good sandwich!

This past month Russell Speeders increased my monthly fee for the unlimited car washes from $29 per month to $49 per month without even notifying me. This increase showed up on my checking account statement. No warning, no phone call, no email, no mail, they just raise the rate because they thought they could. I was stunned with this poor business practice that Russell Speeders does apparently to almost every customer This business should be investigated by the State of Connecticut consumer protection immediately for their deceptive business practices. I feel bad for the employees of this establishment because they actually are very nice. Management is terrible. Upper management is possibly the worst. $29 a month to $49 a month with no warning.

Costco Gas

The second fuel station we visited during our trip, this Costco Gas station in Enfield Connecticut…read moreis small but is far enough away from the main Costco to keep the car traffic between the two separate. It consists of 3 islands with 2 pumps each, for a total of 12 concurrent cars filling up at the same time. It had all the modern amenities (i.e. the one tap using citi costco card to validate membership and providing payment giving back 5%). There isn't much of a waiting area, so can imagine a bit of chaos if it ever got busy, but it wasn't that at all during mid-afternoon on a Friday. There was no wait to find a spot, and cars were in sync so no reason for people to have to pass each other. Very quick in-and-out...almost like a 'normal' gas station, but with lower prices.

They've just been open for two weeks and offered a rock-bottom gas price of just $2.89 a gallon. Oh, and by the way, they have an incredibly sweet number of 16 gas pumps. It was one of my cheapest fill ups in quite a while. After I gassed up, I went inside to check out the store and buy a lottery ticket. Well, they've been open for such a short time they're not quite ready to start pumping out those tickets yet. Their spacious convenience store was neat as a pin and stocked to overflowing, and I saw a Dunkin' counter way off to the left. The young lady at the convenience store register was personable and very friendly when I chatted with her about the place. Noble's website says they are "a Connecticut-based business bringing high-end automobile re-fueling centers to New England". There's a few of them around Hartford and spread across the state. Some have carwashes and EV charging stations, but I think it's too early to see what the Day Hill location will end up with. I saw that Noble is also building a Truck Service and Diesel center pretty much next door at 1966 Day Hill Road. They are a very welcome addition to Day Hill Road and all of its office buildings and commuters.

Don't forget your membership card, and some membership cards do have extra perks if you fuel on your Costco card. Clean lanes, lots of gas, and being not so far off 9 and 84 make this a convenient spot, if not a bust spot on the weekends or after work hours. There aren't cold drinks or lotto tickets, but no prob.
