G&M Family Market sells gas and diesel at the pumps out front, so you can fill the tank on the same stop you make for groceries, a coffee, or an Amato’s sandwich. For a lot of regulars that is the whole appeal of gas and diesel at the market: one stop instead of three.
Regular unleaded and diesel are both available at the pumps. You can pay at the pump with a card or go inside and pay at the register, which is handy if you are paying cash or picking up a few things anyway. Diesel at the pump means light trucks, work vehicles, and diesel cars can fuel up here without hunting for a truck stop.
Current gas and diesel prices are posted on the sign out front and updated as the market moves. Fuel prices in this part of Maine swing with the seasons and with what is happening regionally, so the number can change from one week to the next. G&M keeps its posted price in line with the other stations along Route 1A in Holden.
Fuel up while you shopBecause the pumps sit right at the market, the routine for a lot of people is to start the pump, run in for milk or a lottery ticket or lunch from the deli, and come back out to a full tank. On a commute between Bangor and the coast it is an easy place to break the trip, gas up, and grab something for the road.
For people who live in Holden or drive Route 1A every day, the pumps are just part of the routine. You are already at the market for groceries, a coffee, or a lottery ticket, so the tank gets topped off without an extra errand. Commuters headed to Bangor in the morning gas up on the way out, and anyone coming home from the coast can fill the tank and grab dinner from the deli in the same lot. The pumps are self-serve during store hours, and the register inside handles anything the pump will not.
The station keeps the same hours as the market, so you can fill up early before work or in the evening on the way home. If a pump is down or a card reader is giving you trouble, go inside and the staff at the register can help or run the sale for you. For questions about gas and diesel, call the store at (207) 843-6422.
