Was parked at the Flying J truckstop and asked the cashier if there was a grocery store nearby. She sent me here and as soon as I entered the owner or manager(?) asked me if I was a trucker and then showed me their selection of cooked on site meals! Great food and found all I needed in store to last a few days on the road! Will be stopping here again in the future for sure! 5min walk from the Flying J.
