Speedway in Annandale

Gassed up my baby! This Speedway is always clean. They have several fuel pumps and the inside mini-mart is a gem where you will find whatever you need to keep YOU fueled lol. My only hmmmm was that you can't print a receipt at the fuel pump - you have to go inside. I was using a business card to fill up and I needed a receipt to expense my gas so I didn't have a choice. I will say the lady that assisted me at the cash register was very sweet and super efficient so not that big of a deal but just odd that you can't print it at the pump & need to fetch in person. Whatevs! I will be back so no worries.

I have not done a review in years, but as I begin to come out of shutdowns and a busy summer, I thought I would go ahead and start again. I love this Speedway and have for years. I started going when they were still a Hess because it was on the way from my old home to my old office. And I've kept going for years. The prices on gas are good, and their selection of snack food is one of the best in downtown Annandale. The beer cave is also very well stocked. The best part though is the staff, they are friendly and helpful, always ready to chat if it's not too crowded. They keep the place clean and the shelves well stocked. It never feels seedy inside. And the food is great for convenience store food. I recommend the BBQ pork sandwich or the burgers.

Annandale can be a cluster, and often driving on Little River Turnpike requires fast reflexes. The Speedway gas station and convenience store, sits in the middle of I 395 and 495. That of course is a highway, but to be clear it's more like a gigantic parking lot. If in the area, quite often the Speedway is the cheapest place to fill up. If you go a bit north you might find it slightly less, but that can lead to increased blood pressure. Go here and you'll be happy. Right now 87 octane is $2.33, although never in a million years, did I imagine saying that's a great price. Inflation is the reality. Getting in and out of here is a breeze. Whoever was behind the architectural process, is a genius for lining up the pumps in this manner. You can almost always find an open pump, and the store itself is better than any 711 I've been to. If you need a "pick me up", their coffee is very strong and actually quite tasty. Every time it's been fresh thanks to conscientious employees, all of whom are friendly and don't waste your time. If in Annandale, this is where you want to fuel up and get snacks at.
