Royal Farms

Have you ever been to a royal farms? Then you've literally been to all of them.

This newer (as of 2020) ROFO has a couple of drawbacks, but is otherwise a nice place to stop, in a safe neighborhood. The bathrooms are relatively clean, there’s good parking (front and back) and the variety of stock (coffee, frozen foods, made-to-order meals, etc.) is reasonable for this type of convenience store. In addition, they have free air for tires, a car wash and recently installed Tesla charging stations. The drawbacks, they are understaffed, so if you need checkout assistance, or get behind a long line at the food counter, prepare to be patient. There are 3 self-checkouts, and the line for those are almost always short.

Also, the return to 95 south is unintuitive. You must first head away from 95 (turn right out of the parking lot) and then make a U-turn to get the on-ramp. Northbound 95 is an easy on/off.

If you stop here just for gas, the prices are competitive with neighboring stations that are further from the interstate. So don’t bother searching for a better deal unless you’re willing to go out of your way several miles.
