Mac's Dairy Mart is an unusual gas station. It is part of the Marathon Oil company franchise. They run sales on soda and milk, but that is not what makes it unusual.
They have an area that is shaded outside of the store for teens to gather. They only allow four students in the store at once without a parent, which soon you will find a little odd.
It is a basic quick convenient mart, but inside they also have a Blair's Cleaners, and a Marco's Pizza take out. I often send my kids one to pick up Pizza the other to pick up the dry cleaning. They never go alone there is always a friend that tags along.
This is where the problem begins, all three are part of the same "no more than four stduents allowed without parent". This means they have to wait for one to do their chore at a time even though they are going to different sections of the store.
I have had a problem with the Marathon itself and the gas prices. It is the nearest station to our home, and new to our area. Yet, less than a mile down the road in North Canton is a Marathon whose gas prices are often five cents less than ours. I am not sure I will ever understand this.
Overall it is a clean place, the customer service at all three sections is wonderful. There is also an ATM and a new machine that I have yet to try where you can rent a DVD as long as you have a debit/credit card.
If you are ever in the area I would say give it a shot just to see the total layout of the business.
