After visiting this gas bar, I have to give a shout-out to Tamara. She consistently provides exceptional customer service and carries herself with professionalism and kindness. A real asset to the team!

Popped by to fill up our tank on the way through Armstrong. IPE was in full swing and things were very busy, so we quickly topped up and as we were about to leave a staff member flagged us down and offered us two iced coffees! Was very unexpected and such a sweet gesture. Will definitely choose to fill up here when passing through again, thank you! :)
- Alicia Cunningham

The friendliest, polite, cleanest station I’ve had the pleasure to visit. The staff (All of them) are the greatest!!!!! Thanks for keeping the standards of customer service and cleanest high priority. Appreciate this so much and will visit there and only there everytime I pass through !!!

Clean gas station, with your membership # you get 2 cents off a litre. Regular snacks and stuff inside. Occasionally, they have nice bouquets of flowers. The yearly check you receive each spring is a bonus... even if it's only 20$ Ypu pay a one-time 10$ membership fee. Well worth it ⛽️ !

Your friendly neighborhood convenience store. This place gives new meaning to gas station gifts... so many great items. It's nice to have so many choices.

We were introduced to the Co-op about a year ago and are hooked on these guys. We're getting fuel anyways, giving to a local campany was key, circulate your cash locally, as a bonus we actually received cold hard cash (cheque in mail) at …

Cash back yearly, and prices are same as anywhere else...so it's a win-win. When I fill up, I usually get one of their coffees and or something from the snack bar.... They have everything you need. ;).

Armstrong- Assistant manager is so rude and arrogant. We have been customers for years and loved going there. Staff has always been great. Sadly this man (Matt) has ruined it for us moving forward. If you need assistance, asking for a manager is useless. We will drive to Vernon from now on or use the other 2 stations in town.
- Jay Eh
Best gasoline store ever super nice people and the bathrooms are super clean you can eat off of them almost but don't try that also pretty good yummy food in there too sandwiches are pretty good and there's a bomber cream soda with cane sugar
