This gas station has changed suppliers so many times that it is hard to keep track of what type of station it is now. But, for now, it is a Sunoco. I can remember it being a Shell station, maybe an Exxon, and who knows exactly what else.
The location keeps it busy, but it also creates havoc. It is weirdly odd at how busy it always is. But when you are located on a stretch of road where Fifth Ave turns into Washington Blvd and intersects with Frankstown, you are bound to have a hit or miss experience here. I have really seen a lot at this location over the years. Where I use to work was located up the road and I would always drive by here. I have seen cars sitting up on the concrete barrier that separates the lot from the sidewalk. Like the person misjudged where to pull in and made a temporary statue of their car.
Anyway, gas prices are reasonable as there is competition across the street. Inside you have your typical set up for a convenience store. Once you find your items you head the register and wait in line. A big huge window barrier separates you and the employee, so if you are purchasing items outside that barrier you need to move the UPC towards them so they can ring it up. They will also slide a plastic bag under the barrier if you have a multitude of items.
This really isn't a place to stop on the regular unless you live in the neighborhood. I especially enjoyed the bullet holes in the one window towards the back of the store. read more
