Me and my family were in the The flood that happened here recently. We lost everything during that flood. So we have been coming here to shower since that happened And I accept September or November of 2023 every other night around 10:00 p.m. to shower me my two girls and my husband. I love the showers here they're amazing. They're clean there's always clean towels floor mats rags. Most of all though we come here because the staff that works the graveyard shift makes us feel at home. Blaze and Mike . They know what we're here for when we come in and they have our towels ready when we get there. They always double check the showers and everything to make sure they're clean before we go in .They're always working I don't think I've ever come out and seen them just standing around. They are always cleaning or something. Literally everytime. And it can be crazy busy hectic and people can be rude as hell and still they have a smile on their face and talk to the next customer like the one in front of them didn't cuss them out for the air pump going off before they got done airing up their tires or something stupid they have no control over. They're the reasons why we keep coming back.

If I could give 0 stars I would!!!! First off the store part and employees were great however I stopped in at subway and the employee Leo I think was the name was the RUDEST employee I’ve ever encountered at any establishment!! He acted like I just killed his best friend when I asked for a sub then began to throw bread across the room and then finished my order and asked the person behind me “What do you want “? Just so rude management really needs to get rid of this employee or do some training in customer service because that just makes me never want to go there again! He’s also lucky I don’t like violence but he will run into the right one one day!
