This location is exactly as expected. Its a decent cardlock location with sufficient Parking.

Like most petro passes, they are often hit and miss. The squeegee's are often to old and not in good shape, the fuel prices are always high in Canada in comparison to the USA. The station was created in the 80's by Pierre Trudeau purchasing them for Canadians to get cheaper fuel which of course never happened. Canada can do better. Very small stores with very over priced items that never sell due to the pricing. If properly managed from the top the place could compete with truck drivers, but truly it's not managed well. The main reason it gets business is due to fuel card programs and BVD does give obviously good returns to companies but grossly neglecting the drivers themselves. In a day and age drivers are forced to fuel trucks themselves for free as they're paid by the mile, you'd think they'd give them a coffee or a sandwich for purchasing $1k of fuel an average fill up for doing the job of gas station attendants for free...but of course not. Where companies like Love's in the USA realize this issue, Petro Canada or Petro-Passes fall drastically short with their points and programs for drivers themselves. No free coffee, no fresh food for their few barren stops and getting a shower is never simple at a petro for truckers as they require receipts and in winter the receipt dispensers are often not working. ImThe card systems state side are far better for organizing receipts that can easily be printed later, where here in Canada I find myself phoning or going in to get hand written receipts which could be questionable for tax receipts. It's obviously not up to proper standards in my opinion. But they're all the same. No true competition here just standard hubbub, but the staff aren't the problem. They try to keep the showers clean at least at the locations with shower facilities.
