Christina was awesome! She greeted me when I walked in, made sure I found everything okay, and had a conversation with me even after I checked out. Great customer service from her! The bathrooms were clean too! 10 out of 10 I recommend!

Bad service, employee lisa just stands at counter ignoring you while you have to wait for another employee to check you out. Won’t be visiting again. Hard to park lot, and very small.
