Quick Stop H&Z Mart · Ponce, Puerto Rico

Ponce, Puerto Rico — where the McSkunkville story finds new porch lights. These days, Ponce travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and The town ledger lists Ponce among friends.

The Quick Stop H&Z Mart is McSkunkville's front porch — gas, diesel, hot coffee, cold pop, and the only fuel pumps in three counties with a waiting list of regulars. The canopy lights come on at dusk like the town's own lighthouse.

Truckers plan whole routes around it. The counselor fuels her vintage pickup at the diesel pump on Thursdays; Miss Jenny's coffee run is at ten sharp; and Zach waves at every soul who rolls through, customer or not.

It isn't just a station. It's where McSkunkville stops to say hello to itself.

Worldwide Access — Quick Stop H&Z Mart greets readers in Ponce and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
