Thornton Oil

I am a long term rewards member of Thorntons. Recently this station has seriously slipped. On three separate occasions I expressed my concerns on the company website and all three times I was ignored. In the past I liked to stop on my way to work and get coffee. Now when I attempt to do this the coffee containers are empty, the coffee is burnt or improperly made. This is a consistent problem. This evening I ordered a very good coffee maker because Thorntons can no longer be trusted to provide a reliable cup of coffee.

I am a regular patron of this gas station because of its location. Typically it is competitively priced with other stations in the area.
Likes
— it is located right off 290
— as a reward member, you are automatically given cents off each gallon
— once you have achieved reward status, you are given the lowest price per gallon (cheapest within 24 hours)
— 32 oz fountain beverages are $ 1
Dislikes
— it is always packed which translates into a wait for an available pump
— the convenience store is pricey. Bottled drinks are pretty close to $ 2 with tax. Chips are almost the same amount.
— service inside is inconsistent. Occasionally, employees are preoccupied with non-​work related conversations even when there is a line of five people or more.

cheap gas prices. ALWAYS BUSY so come here when everyone is asleep. Coffee is decent and they have lots of coffee creamer for those who want variety.

Best gas station on Harlem Avenue, with pump prices that are usually (though not always) the cheapest around.
The convenience and popularity of this location sometime cancel each other out. The line to get in here can be long, and sometimes traffic backed up on Eisenhower bridge makes the turn difficult. You may not find an open pump right away. But for a few cents less a gallon, it’s worth the hassle. (Note: Gas is still cheaper at Costco in North Riverside. If you have a membership and can pay cash, go there instead.)
The convenience store at Thorntons is also nice. Well laid out, and with a good selection of cold beverages. They always seem to have what I want, and for a gas station store that’s high praise. The lines here are always shorter than at 7-​Eleven.

although gas is Reasonable. I looked at my Discover Card transactions today and realized they Pre Authorize your card for $ 100.00. They know it doesn’t cost $ 100.00 to ill your Gas Tank up ! I will not be going there. Back to costco

If you need cheap gas in the near west burbs, here it is. Yes, it is a pain in the butt getting in and outta here, but that’s because the gas is usually 20 cents cheaper then the gouger stations in Oak Park, and so half the town is getting their gas here.
I do hate that the gas pumps try and solicit crap from you before you can pump gas (do you want a coffee for 99 cents? or a money order or some crap I don’t want) but that is policy instituted by some evil corporate Darth Vader in a suit that is hundreds of miles from here.
I have not seen a drug dealer here, just people getting gas and coffee and the like. I have not used the bathroom here, but then again I am not coming here for the bathroom, I come to get cheap gas.
In summary, if you need cheap gas, this is the place. Did I mention the cheap gas? Ok good.

Always the cheapest in the area, and I check gasbuddy. I don’t get these other reviews talking about drug dealers: I’ve never seen any sketchiness, no matter what time I’ve gone here.
The only way gas prices will go down is if we support the cheap places. The gas is the same everywhere, fungible even.

Even if it’s drug dealer hang out, consistently has the cheapest gas in the Oak Park, Forest Park, River Forest area. Thus long lines and empty window washing stations, but again, cheapest gas in the area. ‘Nuff said.
