I don't understand people who take their business so unprofessionally. Why gas stations have signs open 24/7 and big sign at the doors "OPEN" but doors are closed and nobody's inside. When I saw finally a person inside she didn't even come to open doors when she saw people standing outside to buy some food. It's not only this gas station. Another one in Kamloops has sign closed for cleaning for at least one hour. Really anoying!!!

The Ad posting says get shower! The guy named NAV said must pay again for it(already paid 437.20 Liters diesel). And he refused to ask any others to double check, simply start to ignore me after he found out I asked shower. The worse experiences ever!

Very quiet place Spend nice time here Subway 👍
- Paul Morgan Donald
Always stop when I'm going by. They have an amazing variety of snacks for their size. As a licorice fan, I was pleased to find how much variety they had, some things I've never seen anywhere else. Friendly service. Great parking lot to sit and chill for a few minutes
- Tim Pennell
Purposely planned a breakfast stop at Subway here. Once a staff person finally came to the counter he let me know my coupon expired the day before. Oh well, I still want a breakfast sub, sure okay, what do you want on it.... oh, and we have no eggs..... yup, now how the he77 do you make a breakfast sub without eggs, .... this was 9:10am. Got breakfast in Kamloops, and I won't bother stopping here again.
- Devon Bartlett
All that stuff about them raising the gas prices after petro closes is completely false. It may have happened with the past owners but I’ve never seen it after dozens of times stopping by late at night. Excellent friendly customer service from the staff. Food selection is quite small but many amenities here.
- Krissy Eide
Absolutely amazing service! One stop shop for road trip with the family. The team went over and above when I lost an item in their store and they helped get it back to me. Thank you!!

This place can be hit-and-miss when it comes to service and friendliness. I've been stopping here for years and had mixed experiences. Some items are extremely high priced.

Clean store. Has a Subway, diesel and gas plus a truck/car wash.
- Robert Chernish
At first I thought there was no one at the cashier, but then i realized that the subway line was commanding all the attention and once it died down then there seemed to be lots of staff to help. A nice easy pull off area with shower and amenities.
- Camron B
There are no showers here anymore. Signs have not been updated. Beyond that, place had good selection of snacks, bathrooms could be cleaner but for a highway stop, good place.
- Cheyenne VA7CKE
The car wash is an absolute rip off $1/min maybe even less. Don't wash your vehicle or rv here. It will cost you way to much and a rain shower will do a better job than the pressure washer system they have installed.
- Cassandra Seymour
This Esso is seriously the best 👌 The family that owns this one treat me so good when I come in, the gas station area and the subway here. The store is always clean and they always have what I need 😊 Thank you!! …
- Mel
I have stopped here many times on the Alberta/BC drive. Decent gas station and has a Subway sandwiches inside. Has some unique British/USA candy, which is something interesting for that long boring drive...Coffee is not very good, but they …

I have a 40 litre tank, I gassed up with just under have a tank left and charged me 43 litres, pretty sure they're pumps are off. My car doesn't even take that when it's empty. Huge rip off.
- Keliyah Mccready
Not a fan. They jack up there price when the Petro closes at night. And I'm not being racist but don't ask for directions the chick at the desk just kept nodding and saying ok. And on that note if you have food allergies don't eat at the …

Beautiful little spot. Just needs some more gravel in truck parking area, grader touch up👍😊 …
- Manraj Sandhu

- Anita Belfre

- Nate
The owner and staff are absolutely amazing! We are always pleasantly greeted with a smile. The location is very clean and well maintained.
- John Stokes
How can you justify being 7c a litter more expensive than Kamloops? Price gouging at its finest
- Heather Larsen
This gas station is an easy in and out with an RV. They have lots of parking if you need it. They also have a car wash that fits RVs and Semi trucks.
- Stimmy
I got nothing but good to say about these guys! When I was off the pipeline for a week (thanksgiving) they let me stay in their parking lot! They have everything here, gas, subway, propane, car and truck wash! For thirty years this was the closest gas after filling in Hinton or Jasper.
- Ms Jules
Ungrateful man , I watch a man pay in change and the cashier big sighed like w.e it's money just do ur job 🙄 also I never buy lotto here because they charge me a dollar tax . Funny no where else does that . …

Super friendly staff...and there is a Subway sandwich shop located inside...great place to fuel up and grab a bite if you are trucking!
- Belleville Caux
Showers are nasty ! Hair and dust all over the room, no lock on the door and the mattress on the floor is disgusting. Looks like the place hasn’t been clean for weeks !
- Gilberto Lobaton
Stopped here for a quick refill, machines weren’t working so had to walk inside to prepay for Gas
- Joanne “JoJo” Philip
I fell on their property and I have not heard back from the esso when i tried to call today, so i don"t know if they will answer so i guess ill have to take action on my end. …
- Jeff Yaremy
Clean, gas was cheaper then the left coast, rest room was clean it smells fresh owner was very personable and a hard worker!!!
- David
Does not have bulk DEF and members of staff seem entirely unaware of how cardlock works or the relationship between Esso and Husky service stations.
- MIA SALPE
Fricking expensive gas station!! I have been travelling for 3 days and I have been refilling my mug. Some gas stations charged me as low as $1, in this one I have been charged $2,40!!! Never stop again!!
- David
Open 24 hours, only place in town that is. Lots of stuff in the store and the coffee is great, polite friendly service
- Jared
Not open 24 hours for fuel like google says, it would be nice if they could update that so nobody else has to get their hopes up for fuel on an overnight drive
- Jeff “SilverEnigma” Mille
Slightly better price on gas than the stop in barrier not much in the way of actual groceries though.
- Tapper Kool
Fine little Stop over Gas station SubWay Rest stop with a car/truck wash. Dude inside was friendly and stuff.
- Leigh Crockett
Terrible service & price gouging. If you're not east indian or of Pakistani you are treated like a 3rd class citizen.
