Shell Gas Station and Mini Mart

As most would expect writing a review about a gas station isn’t as wonderful as one might think. With so many choices to choose from why would anyone take the time to write about a gas station. Well for one if it’s outside your neighborhood and the people are friendly and the variety of goods is ok why not, maybe it’ll persuade someone from stopping at another less favorable gas station.
These guys hold normal business hours almost. 5 am to 10 pm I think are there hours. Just a simple 4 pumps and the gas may be a few cents more than the rest of town, (not like that lunatic on Jefferson in Bocage, if you live here you know the one). The infomercial LCD’s on the gas pumps almost never work, but when they do they feed you the local weather report or lotto numbers. The gas pumps are fast so you’re not sitting around forever.
The mini-​mart sits adjacent to a nail salon, I’ve never been to the nail salon but they seem to be doing well enough to stay open. The mini mart though has all the standard fare. It’s kind of like walking into the convenience store in the movie Clerks. (if you haven’t seen it, watch it). Then in the back one of the owners brothers has a hamburger /​gyro stand. During the day he cooks up cheeseburger/​fry combo’s for the hungry gas getters and the occasional gyro request he’s happy to oblige. They stock UTZ potato chips there which is a huge plus for me. They also stock fresh crackling’s from time to time in the little Ziploc baggies. They have a killer deal of a 32 oz soda for 99 cents which is better than the circle K deal down the street and they have an Icee machine. They even have little seats and tables inside and a few outside if you like eating your hot dog in the humid air.
While it’s not a 7 – 11 like those back east or west, it’s a nice quick easy mart with nice folks behind the counter and plenty of booze and smokes to keep a suburban LSU sports watching Dad or housewife happy. Easy in /​Easy Out traffic flow and easy to find makes this gas station I actually like going to.
