United Dairy Farmers

My goto place for amazing chocolate milkshakes and cheap gas in Powell.
As far as gas prices go, this place and Circle K are usually the lowest vs. Giant Eagle, Kroger, BP… sometimes by 20 – 30 cents, but often they are all the same. They do however raise prices slower than the others so if you’re driving up sawmill and see BP at $ 3.99 when it was $ 3.79 in the morning, chances are it will still be $ 3.79 here.
I don’t know of anywhere else that makes such a great milkshake. I always order the Giant (32oz) chocolate milk shake made with homemade chocolate ice cream instead of malt and chocolate milk. Reminds me of Baskin Robbin’s shakes when we still had them around. And they only cost about $ 4 too which is excellent for a hand spun shake made with real ice cream. They have a decent selection of other ice creams too if you want a cone or a sundae and they almost always have something on sale such as a Large Peach Milkshake for $ 0.99.
Service for the ice cream area can be a problem if they have one person running the checkout for gas and convenience items and doing ice cream. I’ve had lines form over there while they make my shakes and then I had to go stand in a long line to pay. I’ve also had them put my shake on the machine and go check people out and let it spin too long. And the opposite might happen where there is a line at the convenience store so you have to wait for your ice cream especially if there is a line over there. Maybe a second employee dedicated to the ice cream bar? They do have an outside area to eat as well as a nice one inside. Clean bathrooms too.

This UDF is the cleanest we’ve been to in Columbus. The store manager was cleaning the entire time we were in the store. Both employees were extremely friendly and hard working. The Lindner Family would be proud!

Most the time I stop in here is to fill-​up my car with gas. Usually, it is one of the lower gas prices around and simply convenient for me to get to. The convenience store is similar to most other UDF chain locations. Staff have always been helpful and friendly when I was looking for something quick that I needed to pick up.
