This Speedway gas station/convenience store is a good place to stop for gas since the prices here are competitive with the other nearby gas stations along Route 38. There are 10 fuel pumps (positions) here offering unleaded grades and diesel fuel.
The Speedway convenience store here is very basic compared to other Speedway stations in the area, which offers smokes, snacks, coffee, cold bottled drinks, and fountain drinks.
A while ago, I had a disagreement with the male clerk here over the fountain drink pricing. I brought in my Speedway 64 oz fountain soda refill mug to fill up, any size fountain drink is supposed to be 89 cents plus tax, which has been the consistent case at all of the Speedway stores I've been to in MA, NH, NY, and PA. Not at the Wilmington Speedway! The clerk kept insisting it was over the limit and charged me for two fountain drinks. The largest size cup in the store is 52 oz. Too tired to argue, I paid $1.90 with tax for "two fountain drinks" when I only filled my mug with 64 oz of Diet Pepsi. I did receive 36 Speedy rewards points! The clerk sort of had that stingy "7-Eleven" manager/owner mentality.
After I paid, I walked back to the fountain drink machine, grabbed two 52 oz cups and poured the Diet Pepsi out my filled my big refill mug into the 52 oz cups and topped off the cups at the fountain. The clerk didn''t say anything as I did this. I already paid for two drinks anyways, so I was not stealing. They were stealing from me, so I took the soda I rightfully paid for (104 oz of soda pop & ice/technically 128 oz could've been if I brought two refill mugs), more than I needed and walked out. I tried to report this incident to a regional manager (I asked a clerk at a different Speedway location back near my home), but I got no answer tried to call on the phone.
I will make it a point from now on, not to shop at this Speedway convenience store location in Wilmington. I drove to the Speedway on Montvale Ave in Woburn the same week and they charged me 89 cents plus tax to refill my 64 oz soda mug. read more
