They sale Big Shot!
Can I end the review there? Probably not.
Okay, this is a run of the mill, found almost at the corner of an interstate, small town convenience store. Gas is competitively priced because there are gas stations on both sides of the interstate, and it is major brand gas, Exxon. There is a hot food place inside that seemingly serves fried chicken, various Mexican food staples, as well as donuts. None of this, to me, warrants this place getting a fourth star. I will eventually try that stuff, but for now, it held no importance to my soul!
What made me give this place a fourth star? This slightly dingy convenient store did something special to earn this extra star? Yes they did. Lo and Behold, when walking through the front door, if you make a right turn, and go to the drink refrigerator all the way to the back...and view the drinks...there is love in the cooler. At first you will not see it. Those international brands have a way of making sure they get top billing and shelving. Look at the bottom of the refrigeration unit...magic happens...they sale Big Shot cold drink (Soda, cola, soft drink, insert your term here.)!
Why is that important you may ask? Well, being a NOLA native, and considering that is a drink that is made in New Orleans, sometimes you just need a taste of home to get you by in the new land! I wish they had it in the 2 liter variety, but I will settle for 24 ounces love, $1 at a time! Multiple flavors of tongue love made a fat man happy! This alone will allow this place a forth star. Take a look at the picture to see the photos of this drink, and stop by here to get you one at this convenient location. Just watch out for big trucks coming in and out of the area at all times. read more
