Racetrac

This is one of the better gas stations in the area. I do love a gas station with a variety. One would expect to see this type of station in the surrounding areas of a much larger city. There are wide entrances and exits, easy access from the main roads to go north or south. There are more than enough pumps to easily serve a great amount of customers, with enough space between the pumps to walk without threat of bumping into anything. The covering above the pumps is ample for protection.
The options inside the convenience store is great. It is neat, clean and well stocked. The restrooms (one of my favorite spots to look at) are very clean and also filled with the appropriate items. The customer service is the same as what you would expect from any gas station/​convenience store, expectations of something better would be ridiculous.
In my opinion, this is the standard all gas stations/​convenience stores should be held to when on a major thruway for road trips.

I can’t believe I am writing a review of a convenience store, but I just love this place! Clean, well lit, and amazing variety, including lots of healthy options. The frozen yogurt is the best in town, too.

Always have to stop by this gas station to get some yogurt even though I don’t need any gas. I think the yogurt taste better than yogurt from actual yogurt shops.

This is one of the most impressive gas station convenience stores that I have ever visited.
I was heading to Vicksburg and stopped here to get some snacks. I had never been here before, but thought it looked like the place to stop for road trip snacks. I was right.
The store part of this station is massive. Immediately inside to the right is a massive walk in cooler filled with beer. As a fan of malted beverages, I was impressed. The selection was significantly better than almost any other gas station store.
The snack selection was also beyond compare. They had items I didn’t even know existed. An example would be pumpkin seeds. I have heard of sunflower seeds, but never pumpkin seeds packaged for sale. This store had the shelled and non shelled varieties. They also had every type of chip you could imagine. If the snacks weren’t enough, there was frozen yogurt, sandwiches and four million types of soft drinks on tap.
The cashiers were extremely helpful and friendly. There were also two on duty so even with a long line, the wait was minimal.
They also have gas, but you can get that anywhere. If you’re looking for beer or road trip snacks, check out this Racetrac.

I am fond of convenience stores! They sell roughly ¹⁄₃ of all the beer sold in the U.S. That’s saying a lot considering how much beer is sold at bars and grocery stores. I help the cause some as c-​stores are my preferred place to get beer as it is so much easier than dealing with grocery stores. Also, convenience stores only make about $.04/​gal profit from gas sales so they rely on their in-​store sales for most of their profits. These stores must get you inside the store to stay in business so they do what they can to lure you inside. They put coffee, sandwiches, candy, drinks, lotto tickets, and restrooms right inside those doors that most of us don’t even pay attention to. Most of us just pump our gas, pay at the pump, and go. Anyone that knows me well knows I rarely ever just pay at the pump and go. I have to go inside to check out the candy section.
This particular Racetrac ups the ante big time on other popular convenience stores like 7-​Eleven, QuikTrip, and Wawa. This Racetrac is big, clean, and has so many different items. Your typical items like candy, chips, sandwiches, and sodas are plentiful here. They offer unique items like pints of ice cream, sno-​balls, and empanadas. They also have FIVE different stations with about a dozen choices each for coffee, iced teas, frozen beverages, slurpees, and fountain drinks. They even have a froyo area! Of course the beer is plentiful here with a dedicated walk-​in cooler just for the beer cases.
Oh and did I mention it has the most gas pumps of any gas station around here? Yup this is a very big gas station with TWENTY pumps. So come here for convenience as you rarely ever have to wait for a pump but most of all come here for the unique c-​store food items! Apples to apples no other convenience store can beat this sprawling Racetrac.
