U Gas Conoco

I needed fuel this morning. I like this station because it is right on Route 3 and easy in and easy out. As I was putting in my debit card, the sign flashed asking if I wanted a car wash. Heck yes, I had been meaning to get my car clean but knew if would be another stop I always appreciate one stop shopping. Gas and a clean car=happy customer (at least this one).

Yes! This seriously has to be the BEST gas station, ever… in the entire world.
Its THAT good!!!
+ $.25 kids fountain drinks
+A HUGE walk in room full of beer and liqour
+ Food, candy, and fun galore!
+Good gas prices
+ Fun souveneirs!
I mean. the list could go on… seriously… but I’ll stop there because you probably get the point. This was probably the best thing to happen to ever come to Waterloo…
Stop here. seriously… You’ll spend hours inside.

We were all sad that day we found out The Beehive Bowling Alley was going to close. We collectively wiped the tears of nostalgia away when years? decades? later it was torn down. Left in that lonely spot among the weeds, gravel and ghosts of physical education field trips past, were the roots of what would soon become known as the BEST GAS STATION IN AMERICA.
From the ashes of a forgotten town, rises the phoenix of capitalism, industry, and progress… queue the trumpets… U GAS.
If you haven’t visited a U GAS before, please do. Things like QT will be a distant memory in your vocabulary, for at U GAS, you can grab mixers, liquors, beer (high and low brow) and even take a stroll through the Beer Cave. But no, the wonders do not stop there, there is an entire section of FOOD, FOOD that is made by REAL PEOPLE, not those mystery meals that get ‘freshly’ backed up into the store by a giant trailer with images of doughnuts on it. I’ve been known to bring a Gigi’s plastic lunch box of food to work on several occasions, what is more perfect than for about 4 bucks, you get a sammich, chips, a side of fruit AND a pudding cup!!! Tons of other food items, including my beloved CAR SNACK cups, and the best soda fountains you can find.
And, if you are a gas pump purist, be not afraid. U GAS has the most modern pumps around, complete with COUPONS and a TEEVEE. Plus, the pump areas are HUGE AND BRIGHT, no one is going to get mowed down at U GAS… And, despite how awesome QT thinks it is, where are it’s car washes? Where??? Oh, that’s right, they’re all at each U GAS location. FOAMBRITE that bishes.
And finally, in the good name of AMERICUH, it seems like the wonderful people at U GAS offer competitive pay and INSURANCE to full time workers and 2 weeks vacay to full and part time! And, if that wasn’t enough, they offer TUITION reimbursement and a 401K. Why do I know this? I’ve been so enamored by Waterloo U Gas’s kid sister on Hampton, that at least once I’ve wondered at what it would be like to have a second job at a gas pump.
U GAS FOR PRESIDENT!

Awesome gas station with a car wash on the side. Gas prices are really low compared with other stations.
