“Great little market! Stopped in to grab a few last minute things before camping and glad we did! They have just about everything you could need. The housemade baked goods (especially the brownies & cookies) are amazing! Stopped back in when we left for more. Highly recommend giving them a try. The deli and breakfast sandwiches smelt amazing upon walking in. Although we didnt try them im sure they are top nitch quality. Will try next time I roll into town.”

“One of the least expensive places for gas that we have seen in Truckee Tahoe area. We wanted to head back home with a full take of gas. A little tricky exiting the gas station.”

“Had the amazing chance to meet Tina working here the other day when she helped me check the tire pressure on my motorcycle. I had asked at another business in town for some help and was rudely turned away…Tina seriously made my day when she was able to find a small tire pressure pen they had under the desk…sometimes it really is the small things! I’ll be back here every time I visit town after this!”

“Wow such a clean store and amazing bathrooms! The staff is very friendly also. Most of the reviews I see here are about gas prices. Seems like all gas stations in town charge the same amount! I rather get gas here where I know the bathrooms are super clean than anywhere else. Just my opinion. Thank you for the beautiful restrooms and nice staff.”

“Amazing experience. We had trouble with the air pump, the older gentleman working here came out IN THE RAIN and helped us. He was extremely kind and thoughtful. Cannot recommend him enough. The Shell across the way had the worst staff and it made me appreciate this individual 100x more. Definitely coming here next time I drive through bc of this guy.”

“I cannot speak to fuel at all from here, but what I can say is that I often stop in for a snack or cup of coffee and just WOW! If you are in a pinch for something convenient to make (like a little grocery store), this is a perfect spot to grab it on the go. The staff is also very helpful and friendly. Now for the coffee. I cannot say enough about it. They have a machine that will grind and brew you a fresh cup of coffee, and the coffee beans are good! I will go out of my way for this coffee often, it's that good. You can pick your size, leave room for cream or whatever else you want, and with the coffee places around town being spotty as to when or if they will be open, this is a fantastic alternative for us! Thank you Fast Lane for your offerings.”

“Jack was a life saver! When I got a flat tire and was waiting for a tow truck to help (no spare), Jack helped me do a temporary fix to get me to the tire shop. Bless you! 🙏”

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. 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.
