It's a classic mom & pop roadside gas shop. I regularly support them due to their historic friendliness and kindness. Plus I always say hello to their adorable chub-chub doggie. Friendly pup!

Great place to get fuel on the Alaska Highway. Friendly people. If we support the small businesses along that Highway, they will have a chance of being there when we need them.

The owner and his wife are very friendly. Take your time and enjoy their company. Ask them about themselves and you'll learn a great deal. Enjoy the best fuel prices for kilometers.
