From jct SR-9 & SR-86: at NW corner.
I'm so the ONLY reason I stopped (because I new they were closed) was because I ran out of gas but luckily was able to coast a block to Vick's. So I pulled up to gas pumps hoping maybe they had added pay at the pump service & if not I thought surly Vick would help a person who ran out of gas out even if he charged extra for his troubles I would be more than happy to pay. But to my complete SHOCK when I called a lady answer & I first apologize for calling so late & then explained were I was my situation & begged kindly if they could please help me out...
And this is what she said in a rather rude voice
"Nope we are closed for the night"!!!!
I said with a shocking voice ummm ok well I'm sorry but my car is stuck here until I can get a hold of someone to come out here & pick me up to go get gas elsewhere I guess.
Her response with the same attitude was "ok" & hung up....
I it totally disguste me that a ACTUAL place of business could would & did turn their back on a person in need especially in small town Iowa.
It's not like I had gas & just wanted to grab some more nor was I asking for free gas!!!
Just some damn gas so I could get home at 11pm at night..
I no my review won't hurt their business by no means but besides losing me & anyone I no as future customer at least people no what kind of owners they are & how they had ZERO problems leaving a lady stranded at night!!!
Shame on you people & I hope you never need someone's help cuz you might not get it (Karma)
My first visit. Lots to see & do! Definitely will be stopping in when I'm in Iowa!
Great, small town, "have all." Vick is an amazing, 80yr old, man that does it all! I dropped my Uhaul rental off here w/o a hitch.
Thank you, Vick
This is a landmark business in the lakes. Vick's was a convenience store before convenience stores were a thing. Definitely can feel the history when you step inside.
