It's a gas station, right? Well, think of something a few notches above that and you'll have an idea.
First, it's pretty dang large and I overheard a lady saying it was pretty. I'm not sure I agree with that comment but I think she's referring to the use of flagstone on the supports and walls.
The interior is well lit and very nice with clean bathrooms, counter seating, an ATM and all the usual things you'd expect to find in a convenience store. Tons of cold drinks in the range from colas and energy drinks, to beer and other similar libations. There is even a giant beer tub filled with ice in the middle of the floor.
They have a large smoke shop inside selling everything from packs to cartons and most an interesting feature is their tiny humidor. Fresh cigars to celebrate that fill-up! Does your favorite filling station have that?
They have a grill they're not yet using, but they are pushing out hot New Mexican food made daily, I'm told Chile Rellenos, beans & rice are a daily feature and the $1.50 breakfast burritos are quite popular. The food was finished when I arrived, so I'll have to try them another time.
Second, they have two drive-up windows. One is for smokes and the other is for food and drinks. If you choose to eat indoors, you'll sit facing your cars at a counter near the window.
The staff here was very friendly and helpful. They answered all my questions and were asked by two different staffer if they could help us as we looked around. They told us, in a whisper. that a car wash is pending. (Although I'll whisper to you that I'm not sure where it would fit on the current lot and I'm not sure why we're whispering...but shhh)
Finally, the gas prices. Since opening the gas here is about 10 cents cheaper than its sister station across the street at the Original Warrior station. That is because this station is currently Unbranded, while Warrior 1 is Phillips 66 gas.
If I may suggest a place for you to pull over and gas up, grab a snack, drink and cigar without being too forward; I suggest Warrior 2.
Happy Motoring Yelper!
