Their dining area is the largest in town; clean with ample seating and even has a large flat-screen TV so guests can keep track of the weather and news.

Customers will also find the Wine Rack, filled with a large variety of wines; the Beer Vault, loaded with ice cold beer ready for your party; a coffee bar with a wide variety of flavors to choose from; fountain drinks; a selection of Icee drinks; milkshakes; smoothies; the Ice Creamery cooler with multiple ice cream options, novelty gifts, and clean restrooms.

The store celebrated their opening and new platinum membership to the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, October 5, 2018.

Buzz Russell of KNES Fairfield was on hand most of the day doing a live remote; and various vendors lined the front sidewalk offering samples of their goods available for purchase inside the store.

Co-Owners Nick Momin and Rick Momin, together with Store Manager Sam Charolia, Checkers Operator Sam Miaji, Checkers & Dickey’s General Manager Tracy Lair, and Fuel Maxx & Taco Corner General Manager Sabrina Adams, are excited about what the store has to offer and welcome everyone to come check them out.
