Convenience Stores near Bowdoin, ME

“Friendly staff Best gas prices around. Carries Chester's chicken and a good amount of shelf food. Beer prices are a bit higher but expected from a small town store.”

“Their gas prices have been $.30 - $.40 cheaper than anywhere else throughout this high inflation time. Their pump-first, move, and pay, honor system is like a step back in time. Staff are friendly too.”

“I am so fortunate to live close to the Exit43 Quick Stop! This is a greatconvenience store, with the most friendly staff. There is a large selection of cold beer, liquor, snacks and sundry items.Consistently fresh, delicious pizza with eclectic toppings, and some of the best fried chicken anywhere. Not your average gas station fare!! A must stop if in the greater Richmond area.”

“I was a bit reluctant to try Charleen's in Richmond due to the fact that you have to go into the store to pay for gas. I'll be honest, I like to go to self-serve, pay at the pump and get out. Here you do need to go into the store but they make it as efficient as possible. They are so busy that they have you pump your gas then move your car ahead before going into the store to pay. They ask that you let them know how much you owe them when you get into the store. This allows others to pump their gas. It is a Fabian gas station. During the increase in gas prices recently, Charleen's prices were ALWAYS lower than anywhere around. The prices were not just a little but a lot (30-50 cents a gallon) lower. They want to give the savings back to the community. There were times when the gas was $4.50 gallon at other stations and I don't think it ever went over $3.90 here. Let me tell you, the owners are awesome. They are friendly and inviting. They love dogs and are fine if you want to bring them into the store. They offer a variety of sundry items, beer, milk and even local baked goods.It is hard to rave about a gas station but if I am going to, it is absolutely going to be about Charleen's. This store/gas station and the people who own it are the best!”

“Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by this store! They had everything I needed, and more! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be stopping here again on my next road trip!”

“Very clean facilities! There was a friendly employee working at the counter. It had one of the cleanest restrooms I've ever been in. The parking area and fuel pump islands were clean and organized. The trash receptacles were mostly empty and well placed. The grounds around the perimeter of the facility were clear of trash and well maintained. This is just another example of the top-notch Irving Oil facilities.”

“Recently moved to the area and absolutely love the Bowdoinham County Store! Everyone who works there is a delight and their pizza is amazing. We love the breakfast sandwiches too! Great place”

“Stopped by today on my way home from work went in got a sandwich and a drink. The owner was in the store and was super nice to talk to. The sandwich was great and i will be going back for sure”

“Two road trips across America equals many pull off the highway to Poedunk PA, or Poedunk Anywhere to swing a loop and follow the arrow until it reaches the dot. I've seen a thousand shelf's of junky foods that seem like ample sustenance in the haze of my tired night driving eyes, but it's important to make a wise gas station stop decision at this moment. Just buy gas, water and coffee and keep driving, nothing ruins a road trip like a case of the runs, slurred speech or paralysis. If only Rusty's Lantern had a national presence, I'd set the controls to continuously scan for this well run business with hot and freshly made grab and go food items. Breakfast items I've partaken in include - biscuits and gravy, ham, steak or my favorite, sausage egg and cheese on an english muffin. Lunch - pepperoni pizza with freshly made crust, not frozen so your not at the mercy of a malfunctioning freezer. The hamburger is not going to blow your American highway palate away, but a fair value and a great fixings bar to trick or out to your likings. I'm sorry to read the poor reviews prior to posting my review, I feel that they are shortsighted and are lashing out on Rusty due to the current price discomforts we across this great land are all feeling the pinch on.”

“This place is always so busy, gas prices run about 10 cents more per gallon than others in the area, they have a lot of pumps so I have never had to wait to top off the tank.”

“Despite the time of day (or night), the staff is cheerful and helpful. You can also find a wide array of food that's better than just a gas station. Sandwiches, baked goods, and really good cheesecake!”

“They were very quick in service the line moved very quickly. I could complain about gas prices but all in all a good stop some variety of decent foods to grab on the run a strong 4”

“My husband and I have contemplated ordering food from here. Well... contemplate no more! The pizza was amazing! My 1/2 Xtra ham italian was to die for. Fresh,tasty and so reasonably priced. I highly recommend ?”

“I go there every morning and grab my smks and srach tickets and gas few days and love the service and always have what I need any time day or night I go there at like 330 before I go on baot lobster ING and like i said have what Eva I need for th4 day thank u big apple ?”

“I love going there. The service is awesome. they have really good hot food. Lots of different drinks. They even have cold sandwiches. It's such a good place to go. My favorite is their hot dogs. And my new favorite is the steak sandwich with peppers. Soon, good. You can even get gas there and propane. Go and give it a try.”

“Yo. Seriously. The people who work here are amazing!!!! I think I've interacted with every employee, I go here pretty much everyday, and they all are so friendly and personable!! There's even a couple people I chat with when I'm there late night for snacks. Just such a great team. I know what it's like to work in a store and customers can be rude at times, it's a difficult job and those who work here do it well!! Thank you for hiring such wonderful people.Signed,One satisfied customer”

“Great store! Great prices! Great people! Best Dagwoods and pizzas around! The chicken tenders and chicken burgers are also the best around! Super convenient if you live nearby!”

“CVS at the Target store in Topsham Maine is a wonderful pharmacy; we are very happy that it is within our traveling distance. We have always been pleased with the service, the speed of packaging our medications - and calling quickly to let us know that our meds are ready for pick up. The pharmacists are fantastic; they are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and kind. This CVS pharmacy goes above and beyond to help their customers. We are always 100% pleased with their care and service. Thank you very much to all of the pharmacists there who do their jobs splendidly!!”

“Great takeout pizza dependingon whos working (mostly the weekend crew), honestly wish they kept the ovens open longer than til 6pm, I know many occasions that my friends and i have wanted to get a few pizzas but the ovens are often already closed by prime pizza ordering hours, and even the pizza warmer is no longer stocked past 4 it seems, again great pizza just needs to be more accessible.”

“The milk shelf was empty and the store employee asked me what I was look for. I replied I was looking for a 1/2 gallon of 2% milk and he went in the back room and came back with exactly what I was looking for. The Brunswick location has the best employees. Always courteous, have a smile all the time and eager to help you out.”

“Perhaps you'll think "Glenn is far away from civilization - minus todays review machine gunning whole nine yards - & - now he's reviewing gas stations? I had a gas station lobster roll three days ago from Irving Oil and they're about to get their four star block knocked off, having little to do with the lobster roll - more to do with the man why yelled "Hellooo, you must leave the premises. I think he was a manager - I'm gonna have a chat with his punk as__.Isn't there more to this review that flaming Irving - yes indeedie - the workers are wonderful - but Irving was the hundred and fourty second gun in the west - Irving -- sung high -- Irving sung low.Today there was a new recruit that furrowed his brow when I requested a breakfast sandwich - they're cheap and I feel kinda guilty ordering them but I make good balancing choices in the fields as I harvest and eat roots and cucumbers and cucurbits of all shapes and sizes. The town of coffee, although a bit trashed by sloppy people who can't press and pour without making a disaster of a mess - it's $1.07 and you can bring your own container of most any size, however, I stay with the 80s McDonald's non biodegradable foam they provide - which I do prefer, the cardboard doesn't hold heat well and is easily corrupted by my after work beer.The Beer Cave is a happening spot, all the way in the back and you can purchase and pound anytime of day, just not between 1am and 5am which is reasonable and they sell booze and wine and it's at all so very cheap - I could easily develop a bit of habit here in Maine - let's hope not.The magazine rack has local periodicals that cost a lot more than they deserve which isn't Cumberlands fault, their communist rags are so self serving to the posh Portland people, makes my stomach turn every Sunday morning, so I'll grab the freebies and read about Da Bearz and other high school sporting teams. Chips, dips plastic clad pies all of which I pass on but I've wanted a few gas station egg salad sandwiches which will serve you well in a pinch - that's all for now fine citizens of planet earth - until next time -”

“As far as convenience stores go, I think Cumbies has come a long way. They are investing in their locations, and generally hire exceptionally friendly and hard working employees. The Sabattus location is a great example. And if you have your gas purchase taken from checking account using their card, you save 10 cents a gallon. I have still not taken advantage of that feature, but it's there. Also, in the morning the coffee, while not great, is still only 99 cents, even if cups keep getting smaller. Biggest issue with their coffee is they have a seemingly good variety, including one limited time flavor. But I can't tell the difference in taste of any of them...they all taste the same, no matter what flavor you choose, to me anyways. And if you get coffee anytime after noon time, it tastes strong, old and nasty. But they provide an awesome selection of flavorings, have fresh cream and even have those little "stok" caffeine shots to boost your morning a bit. You don't go to Cumbies based on pizza...as it is generally the most bland pizza you can buy. None of their other fresh cooked items look good to me and I question what is used for ingredients...sure they are the cheapest money can buy. The service is refreshing to see employees take such pride in their work. They are very nice, as well....except for the tall female manager...she is abrupt, never smiles and just wants you to buy your s*** and get the hell out of there. I will avoid her register every time possible. She makes you feel very unimportant and just an interruption to her day. Good thing the other associates are nothing like her, or I would not go there. Ever. And most prices as in any convenience store are way to expensive, but unlike most, they do offer little sales from time to time, and there are a few reasonably priced items. This is a nice store and I do a fair amount of business here. The parking lot and gas pumps can be a dangerous nightmare when vendors are vending and people get gas and instead of moving car away from pumps so maybe someone else can get gas too, they just leave car at pump and go inside to shop. Many times I drive by and go to Lewiston location when the parking lot becomes a cluster. No matter what or where, I will always choose a Cumbies over any other convenience store. Now let's train the manager some people skills, and this particular location would maybe hit 5 stars!”
