They started showing up here (Phoenix area) like 5 years ago. The dominant market player (Circle K) looked far less clean and appetizing by comparison, so we tend to go there by preference now.
The food is almost low-end-takeaway quality. The soft pretzels and milkshakes are nice, and the pizza will do in a pinch (particularly if you're the only one who wants it and get an individual-sized one)
In my experience, the pizza there is low-end chain quality, but unlike ordering delivery, you end up getting one $10 pizza instead of the family descending into squabbles over toppings and ordering three pies, mozzerella sticks, wings, and spending the better part of a Franklin.
One of the big pandemic-era family experiences has been getting a pizza there, dividing it up and eating it in the car. (the box is perforated so it can be torn into rudimentary plates)
