Convenience Stores near Ghent, NY

“Great prices, excellent, friendly, and helpful staff since it has transitioned from the previous owners. Staff is masked for those like myself who appreciate that!There is handicapped parking and accessibility, a clean, large single user public restroom, gas, lottery, beer, CBD and tobacco products, lighters (and I wnet recently looking for lighter fluid, they were out but said they would be ordering it), snacks, medications, auto supplies, cell phone accessories, periodicals, hot food, coffee, and everything you'd need from a quick - stop type convenience store!I give them five stars as the new ownership and/or management is much better than the previous... the staff much more competent, friendly, pleasant, patient, and helpful!I actually worked here for a second job until I became fully disabled and unable to work, and the previous manager and his girlfriend (who worked there as well and inappropriately made assistant manager over the much more hard working, Maria) were one of the main reasons this Sunoco had gotten a terrible reputation... From selling drugs from their car in the parking log, being drunk and stoned on the job, and not doing inventory management or checking outdated products... They were one of the main reasons the store had a bad reputation, along with the former management NOT paying attention to the needs of the store, such as leaving brand new gas pumps to replace the old ones, in the parking lot for months and months on end.(I'd like to specifically say that Maria, who opened and her son 'D' were excellent, hard working, pleasant and friendly employees... and the only reason the store did not go under [if you see this, I miss you both!]).Let me again reiterate... THE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF HAS CHANGED AND THE STORE (besides the layout and façade) IS UNRECOGNIZABLE TO THAT UNDER THE PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT.Prior, there were several stings by ATF, and many employers failed. THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE! So a fair warning, don't be insulted if you're asked for any product requiring proof of age. The staff is doing exactly what they should, especially as the store has prior reputation of neglect and selling to underage employees. AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE NEW STAFF AND MANAGEMENT. They are 100% competent, friendly, helpful, respectful and doing what they should... Sorry for anyone who was hoping to buy illicit narcotics in the parking lot, but this is now the respectable, clean, and law abiding establishment it should have always been.When I need gas or the odd item late night (until 11pm when they close) this is where I go, as they have excellent prices! Including competitive gas prices. [At the time of writing this, 03/04/2022, Ukraine is under attack by Russia and gas prices have skyrocketed, however, they are still who I rely on for my gas and other items as they have excellent and competitive prices]).DISCLAIMER: the parking lot on the south side of the building had recently had some large potholes from the winter freeze-thaw cycle, and imagine will be addressed as soon as possible by the competent and attentive staff. It is absolutely avoidable if you need to park on that side to go inside, but just be aware in case you have poor night vision.”

“This place is family owned and operated. The owner, Mr. B., is always very polite, happy & eager to help &/or serve you, he's patient, friendly, and always has a smile & something funny to say when I bring my children in the store. You can tell that this family has Pride in their growing business and it shows by how Clean, organized, always having fully stock items, they make everything on their menu & fill your deli or hot food order quickly & with lots of care. Charron's has a vast selection of sodas, juices, teas, hot coffee, dairy, energy drinks & adult beverages(both non alcoholic & alcoholic) along with a wide selection of snacks, icecreams, grocery & deli, and a menu that has something for everyone. I absolutely Love their 12inch turkey bacon club! Mr. B always knows what I'm going to order when I walk in the door. I believe everyone should show some love and support for this small business and I'm sure that everytime you walk in you'll feel that warm welcoming vibe that Mr. B, his family, small staff, and the regulars that come in and leave happy and satisfied exude! Don't forget to visit their newly opened wine & liquor store on the right side entrance! Show the people at Charron's some love!”

“This is a great store. The staff is always nice and helpful. It's like an unofficial after school spot for many local kids. Store staff always treats them well. There's not many places for kids around here. It's always clean, even the bathrooms. They have the best brewed tea! Even the pizza is good.”

“Friendliest staff. Always ask how my day is going. Good beer selection. Give my daughter a lollipop whenever she comes in with me. They will have my business for a long time.”

“A Mobil Station, a Subway and a laundromat all under one roof; and yes, there's a restroom. Very convenient location across the street from acres of stores including a Walmart Supercenter, some popular big boxes, some independent, and an Applebee's.”

“Love my local Stewart’s Shops ! You can expect consistent service , fuel & goods across all the stores. I’m a daily customer at Stewart’s and willbe for life !”

“They are under new management and it's a 100% difference! From the cleanliness to the service it's great, also I've used my Pricechopper savings card here no issue (I use the card option at the fuel tank with ease). In addition, Brian, the store clerk is amazing and super nice and friendly. I go out of my way to stop here because they are worth it and they are clearly trying to turn it around and build a client base so disregard the old reviews as there's new management in town and worth stopping in.”

“I had a problem with the units I purchased for a Tracfone, MacKenzie, the manager, went out of her way to help me solve the problem..She was curteous, very friendly and professional, and I thank her very much! It is a pleasure to shop in this Cumberland!”

“it's nice to know that there's someone always there for me...even when I don't know...
the blood red eyes that follow me during every visit, the looming shadows scattering to smattered glimpses each turn I take...sometimes I visit just to feel the radiant ambience of the overlords, and I feel so found each time. the human workers are cool too, I guess.”

“We’ve stopped here several times over the years when driving upstate or to Canada. Love the service here! The two ladies are so friendly, keep doing what you’re doing we appreciate you!”

“I worked here as my first job and it was a good experience. People were awesome and very chill to work with. I pretty much live in close proximity to it and it's pretty much walking distance, making it very convenient.Bryce@ North East Ford”

“Most the time there's one person working If there's two there setting around or outside in the car doing nothing there's one older lady that works there days and some nights that's all ways kind and nice store is clean when she is there but the other workers are rud and lazy and one hits on every guy that walks in an there's also one that has b o problem's and stinks”

“I often stop here before/after a river trip or while traveling to/from Albany. More options on ready-made food and an available restroom for customers would definitely make this location better.
5 Star staff though! Special kudos to Ashley for her friendly yet professional assistance. ?”

“Five stars in support of the pharmacy, all the 1 star reviews obviously have never truly known what it is like to work severely understaffed and the public breathing down your back and complaining. And it’s a vicious cycle because it causes burnout and people leave, making the understaffed situation more dire. I find the pharmacy crew to be awesome and helpful and they do the best they can!”
