Leo's Market and Eatery!

Hammer and Nigel.

**Hammer** (0:01)
Do you believe these characters?

**Stephanie** (0:02)
They're weirdos.

**Nigel** (0:05)
Ha ha ha, yeah! Hammer and Nigel live out of the road in Noblesville at Leo's Market in Eatery. Promise Road at 146th Street, really easy to get to, and the special is on right now.
I mean, it is huge. Cars are already starting to line up, Hammer, tell everybody what I'm talking about.

**Hammer** (0:25)
Gasoline, as the kids would say, Gasolina, $2.50.
In honor of America 250, Leo's is going full Apollo Creed, American number one, gold medal, gas for 250, at this location only in Noblesville. And there are some pumps, I see, that have some space. Now, a couple of these parking spots, I'm sorry, pumps, have multiple cars already deep, but some, there's still room. So, get your car here right now, and take advantage of unleaded gasoline for $2.50 a gallon, Nigel.

**Nigel** (1:04)
Let's introduce our next guests, Tiffany and Stephanie from Leo's. How are you guys doing?

**Tiffany** (1:10)
Doing great.

**Nigel** (1:11)
And look, there's a lot of people that may not have known that Leo's was even a thing, and Leo's is even here. What, I mean, Hammer and I were blown away when we walked in this place earlier today, because it's like the gas is kind of a convenience that you offer your customers, because inside the eatery, it's a whole different experience.

**Tiffany** (1:32)
Yes, we have actually a phenomenal chef who makes almost all of our items from scratch, and the food has even blown us away. It's incredible. My husband's lucky, he gets to eat now.

**Nigel** (1:44)
Now, you're the president, right?

**Tiffany** (1:46)
Yes, and my brother and I, Keith White, are partners here and do this together.

**Nigel** (1:50)
Okay.

**Hammer** (1:50)
How's business been going?

**Tiffany** (1:51)
Good. It's going great. We have some wonderful customers and great team members, and it goes well, very well.

**Hammer** (1:58)
And Tiffany, talk to me a little bit about what it's been like. Under these crazy economic times, we've had situations where gas was really expensive. Now gas is kind of slowly starting to come down. We got 250 gas here until 6 o'clock.
What's it been like in these crazy economic times?

**Stephanie** (2:17)
It's still been pretty good for us, in my opinion. I think that we've got something else to offer inside the store. Right.

**Hammer** (2:26)
You've got everything in that store. Collages and alcohol.

**Nigel** (2:29)
It's almost like gas is almost ancillary to what you have to offer inside Leo's Market and Eatery.

**Stephanie** (2:35)
Yeah.

**Tiffany** (2:36)
Actually, two out of three customers go inside and don't even buy fuel, so that is our primary. And, you know, contrary to popular belief, you really like prices cheap on the pump because it gives you more time to come inside and hopefully try other things.

**Nigel** (2:47)
When did this phenomenon change? Like, when did this type of style, this genre of...
I don't want to say gas station. It's not a gas station. I mean, you sell gas at the convenience as just a convenience, but when did this all start to change?

**Tiffany** (3:01)
You know, it's been changing for a while. If you go to different parts of the country, gas stations and convenience stores are more known for their food, but it's really been coming along in Indiana for a while. I like to think that we're one of the premier people that's trying to bring really quality food by actually having executive chef that actually prepares and cooks our things, and it's continuing to come along, and we do have great soup.

**Hammer** (3:20)
Listen, I am a connoisseur, if you will, of a good convenience store that has food.

**Nigel** (3:27)
You are.

**Hammer** (3:28)
Because sometimes, you know, I got places to go. I want to go into the store. I want to get the big Mountain Dew Zero or the Diet Mountain Dew, but I also want to grab whatever's available to eat. And you walk into this place, there's kolaches, there's cold cuts, there's hot food.

**Nigel** (3:43)
There's beer.

**Hammer** (3:44)
There's local stuff. And yes, sweet Jesus, there's beer in there. I mean, this is kind of everything somebody's looking for if they're on the go, right?

**Tiffany** (3:51)
Yeah, you can really, you can eat something different pretty much every day. The kolaches we have, I think, I want to say 23 different flavors every day. 23 different flavors.

**Hammer** (3:58)
Dude, that pepperoni one I had earlier.

**Stephanie** (3:59)
Two for five or two for seven, depending on what your taste buds desire.
