This Thorntons in Bolingbrook has become my preferred gas station in the area but not just because it's near work & home. It's clean, spacious, well-lit at night, and the card readers work perfectly. They always have good prices on gas and their pumps are faster than other places.
The convenience mart is bursting with a selection of salty snacks (lots of spicy stuff), roller grill items like hot dogs and taquitos, a fully stocked condiment area, and a wraparound cooler packed with 99¢ cans of Arizona tea, Powerade, pop, energy drinks and more.
I downloaded the Thorntons fuel rewards app, which saves me 5¢ on every gallon. They'll toss in a deal every week, like BOGO roller grill items, or $1 off a large bag of chips. The self-checkout registers speed up the gas-and-go process, plus staff have a great attitude and like to chat with customers.
* TL;DR *
Oooohhhhh and I burn,
Fuel is pumping engines,
Quench my thirst with gas-oliiiiiiiiine!
This is an excellent Thorntons. I'd recommend that anyone traveling along I-55 pull off at the exit for Weber Rd to stop here for fuel and refreshments. It's truly one of the better gas stations around.
