“Many thanks to the wonderful people at Cheatwood Texaco for their help in getting us back on the road. We had a belt break on our driver rear tire while pulling our 5th wheel RV. Between the Cheatwood Service Station, and Great American RV, a major problem was solved. Cheatwood had a new full set of tires ordered for our truck and installed them the same day so we could get back on the road safely. And their employee Wren drove it to us at Great American RV when they were finished working on it. They put us at the head of the line of jobs they already had scheduled because we were from out of town.”
“Very friendly. Looks like you can get a variety of things here. Not just a convenience store. If you are nearby, pop on in and see what all they have at this location. Great store.”
“they have pizza , beer, liquor, cold drinks and all things in one store…All staff behavior is owsome and cool i love this place …i prefer to visit this place everybody ..”
“This is a wonderful place to stop and do business with. I stop by here every time I go through Heflin since I discovered it a couple of months ago. Very nice team members inside and a wonderful variety of products inside to purchase. I would leave 10 stars if it was able to be done.”
“Quick in and out with no long line to wait for the cashier. Cashier was extremely nice and very helpful. Very clean store and plenty of items to choose from if wanting a quick snack. Gas prices are cheaper than what it is next to the interstate I-20. Big and spacious restroom that was very clean and stocked up. Parking lot was clean and no trash anywhere. Although the parking lot does need to be repaired because there are a few potholes that are big enough to mess up your vehicle. Thankfully I was able to go around them. Overall I had a very pleasant experience when I stopped by this store and I will be back again while I'm in the area.”
“I have been shopping at this stores for several years about 3 times a week on my way to Ga. I have to say simply the best! The ladies are beyond nice they keep that store so clean inside and out, spotless! Have to say in all my travels it’s the cleanest store that’s why I shop there. Plus the fact all I use in my cars is chervon gas.”
“Cheap diesel but beware at least as of today you'll have to fist fight the bees or whatever they are literally swarming the trash cans by the pumps. I've got a broken arm so I was fighting one handed and I still managed to get my diesel and leave lmao”
“I highly recommend this Chevron location! The hospitality here is outstanding, and the owner is an extremely nice and welcoming person. You can really tell he takes pride in his business and cares about his customers. For semi-truck drivers, truck parking is only $10, which is a great price. The store is very clean, and the fresh food is surprisingly good. One night I came in very late and all of the food was already gone. Instead of turning me away, the owner offered to make me an egg and cheese sandwich on toast with mayo. It was so good that I’ve been hooked ever since! Now, whenever I know I’m passing through I-20, I make sure to stop here. If you’re a truck driver who is tired of the usual gas-station food, come check this place out. The food, cleanliness, hospitality, and affordable truck parking make this one of my favorite stops.”
“Spectacular experience!!! Professional yet friendly employees!! Always eager to help and make you feel welcomed! I enjoy the Christian music they have playing & will definitely be recommending them to everyone!”
“Highly recommend their chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes, & green beans all were truly spectacular! Oh, and their truck parking. My fiancé really enjoyed their corndogs & livers + gizzards (some genuine good ol’ fashioned nutrition fer ya rai there, liver is pretty much a freakin’ multivitamin, just fyi). I rolled in late at night in my semi, yes I’m a truck driver (thank you for the clutch overnight parking btw can be super difficult to find past like 5pm at times no joke), and this circle k’s food was STILL on point/delicious, crazy really... & well-priced to boot. Def was not expecting it to be half as good as it is! PS: Don’t be afraid to spend money here. To my fellow truckers, O/N Parking is free. Also, was told by an employee that this place is not in any way corporately owned (pretty much is a mom & pop/ franchised situation). Wait, come to think of it… maybe that explains why the food was soo damn good ?”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades. The company plans to add 120 stores during the current fiscal year. Its previous plan, launched in 2023, delivered more than 500 new stores and earned the company a spot in the S&P 500.
Love's Travel Stops is starting 2025 with ambitious growth plans, adding 20 new stores and updating 50 current locations across the country.

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus. More locations are planned for Taylor, Warren, and Macomb Township, each employing around 30 people, mostly full-time.
Love's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees. Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food. It's not just for show - early results say it's making service 11 seconds faster on average. "These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
