The Art Wash has a mural and a rotating community gallery, and the business offers catering for meetings, baby showers and retirement parties.

Martin General Store in Orbisonia is listed among the convenience stores that Martin Oil Company runs, according to a June 2018 company locations page. The store sits at 438 Ridgely Street. The Visitors Bureau listing says it sells Martin Gold Star Gasoline, K-1 kerosene and propane exchanges, and has restrooms.

The food is sold under the CARGO name, which the company describes in a June 2018 posting as its own brand and not a franchise. The company said then that it develops its own recipes and prepares items fresh in each store.

The hours come from the Visitors Bureau listing, which shows the store open 24 hours and year round. That listing carries no date. The company's own pages print no store-level hours.
