Double Quick

Double Quick convenience store in Leland Mississippi is part of a very major truckstop on Highway 61 - “The Blues Highway”.

It is very handy to the highway and very well located - right in the middle of the Mississippi delta, between Clarksdale (which calls itself “the birthplace of the blues”) and Natchez, which recently was rated one of the best cities in the country to live - for all classes, not just for affluent people.

I also am especially interested in stopping by the national forest and a swampland just about 40 miles south of here. I am a Midwesterner, 18 years ago transplanted to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actual honest-to-God swamp.

The store is bright and clean, with broad aisles. It has most of the conveniences of a major truckstop – except maybe showers for the truckers.

When I stopped by the cash register to ask the three cashiers there if I could use their hot water and microwave to fix my oatmeal in my cup, they were very friendly and welcoming - and pointed me to the hot water and the microwave.

To my surprise, one of them - Shavonda, an attractive forty-something black woman with bright red hair piled up on her head - followed me over to the microwave and proceeded to take charge of all details of fixing my oatmeal.

This went so far behind any level of customer service I had ever experienced that I just stood in amazement and delight.

The store was well staffed at this moment, the morning rush was over - and I think Shavonda just has such strong customer service instincts that she couldn’t stop herself from using her free time to give me extra service.

I said to her “Shavonda, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a woman make breakfast for me.“ She thought this was funny and we just chatted about the state of the world – and especially about how the rich people in this country seem to have no care for the poor people.

I have experienced some lousy customer service in our year and a half of travel - and some very wonderful customer service. But this was definitely the first time I have had a cashier fix breakfast for me - and entertain me with very interesting and intelligent conversation about what is going on in the world.

Shavonda definitely goes into my customer service Hall of Fame. I encourage you to stop by this store.

Chris was awesome, in helping and answering every question I needed to ask. Wish we could take him back to the truck stops in West Memphis Arkansas. He would definitely teach some of the employees there a thing or two about working with public people and how they should treat and respect there customers. Chris ur 💯 real.

This is a really nice truck stop. It's very clean. There's not alot of parking but you can park overnight. They have plenty of snack to choose from inside and a McDonald's next door.

Beautiful fuel station nice and clean friendly staff I wish I could give them 10 Star

Stopped at this store last week. I lived in Leland in the 60s then was back in the 70s where I had 2 of my children. My first visit since 1980. The little place has grown and what really touched my heart is the same old-fashioned hospitality and kindness of yesteryear. Sweet young Katina Williams was every bit professional with a whole lot of heart showing in her eyes. It was a wonderful continuation of my trip home to Mississippi and I would wholeheartedly recommend this location. GOD BLESS Katina and Double Quick. GOD BLESS Leland. GOD BLESS Mississippi and GOD BLESS AMERICA!! Thank y'all. ❤

Ah, if you are after a cold drink, something fast to eat, or a hot beverage...this is THE place to stop and get it. And, hey while you are there, try the White Chocolate Cappuccino, and from then on it'll become your favorite hot beverage.
