“I'm straight up flabbergasted, I came to this place on the recommendation of someone living in the area. When I tried the double cheeseburger from the deli kitchen in the back I was gobsmacked on how good it is. The patties were thicker than a bowl of oatmeal but when you chewed into it you didn't have to fight for your life to get through it. The patties internal structure was light and the flavor punches your tongue as if I was in a boxing match with Mike Tyson. Needless to say I'll be coming back for that burger again.”

I had an issue and this very well trained employee went above and beyond to make sure my problem was resolved.

In these days, when customer service is a myth, it's really good to see someone who doesn't act like you are a problem in their day, very, very pleasant young lady and I truly hope her employer realizes what he has in her. My visit was Friday, May 1st. At about 5:30 pm.”

“Very clean restrooms as a retired health inspector everything was above expectations. Very friendly, funny, lovable group of employees both day and night. My daughter plays on the McAdory Varsity softball team the owners managers and customer service were very helpful in working with the school to do something special for the seniors. Its a great convienent place to get gas rather than having to deal with the promenade traffic. Their cost are not marked up like most stores. They have a large variety of most anything you need. Before you go to the big box store for one thing and walk out with 4 and a large bill. Try Sunoco for shopping for that item you need. Very thankful for local buisness helping local people and we should also help our local buisnesses.”

“Although there good amount of parking, there were at least 10 unhooked trailers, which I think should be parked on the sides so there’s always enough for 10hr break truckers. Luckily I found 1 spot at 2am”

Read the postLove'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.
