“Had a great experience with Peter and his team. Check engine light, cracked axle, a/c grinding noise…they diagnosed and resolved everything over the course of two days. Prices seem fair and they were transparent about all issues before moving forward. They made sure I signed off on the work and didn’t push anything that was unnecessary. They can get busy so make sure you schedule ahead when possible. Good people all around and very trustworthy in my experience.”
“John Louis Lebreton, Lenny & Team at the CITGO (392 E Putnam Ave, Greenwich, CT 06830) are a top tier set of car specialists in Greenwich, CT. You will see all types of cars from Ferrari through Subaru, family cars through 2 door coupes in front. John Louis Lebreton, the owner, personally took care of my 2013 RAV4 when the Battery & Alternator died while I was driving on the Post Road. I was quickly taken care of and ensured a speedy set of fixes in 3 business days. JL quickly diagnosed my car part replacement needs, test drove my car 2 times, and even made sure my car suspension was safe. This was an essential help as my car is at 170K miles. The price was fantastic as well, compared to other mechanics/dealerships in Fairfield County. To all Greenwich Residents, car enthusiasts, family haulers, classic car owners, Ferrari through Subaru brands - look no further. CITGO (392 E Putnam Ave) is now my #1 preferred mechanic & car specialist in Greenwich, CT”
“Anthony of Glenville Shell is my new mechanic! WHY pay exorbitant dealership prices? Glenville Shell (he) personally checked everything out with my X3 and all that was needed was a simple oil change..He also fit me in later than expected today. He’s accommodating, friendly and very knowledgeable. All my settings on the car read GREEN now!! (Yay!) I know this guy for ONE day and I felt like he was family. THAT’S HOW YOU RUN A BUSINESS..!! Thanks to George, and Michael, as well. Xo”
“Highly recommend this shop they’ve replaced my CVT transmission and my cars been driving better than the day I got it! Feels way more responsive. Chris is very knowledgeable about cars and diagnosed that my CVT was mildly slipping without a check engine light on my dash!”
“The gas station clerks are so good to it’s customers and also the mechanic there saved my life not once but two times when I was in a bad spot and he never charged me high prices to fix my car problems I wanna say thank you to the mechanic I owe you a ton ???”
“My car engine overheated on the way to work. This service station came up on Google Maps as my closest I could get to at 8am. The man that helped me was very kind and willing and reassured the issues for me. Thank you for your kindness and help! :)”
“Nice service the store inside has a lot of variety of cheeses and sodas I only missing one thing the Apple Pay by the pump because I lose my credit card so I have to go inside to pay at the cashier”
“Just filled up at this gas station and I was impressed! The prices were decent, and the staff was really helpful. Plus, they have a great little convenience store inside for snacks and drinks.”
“It's very convenient location right on parkway, very clean bathrooms, store , subway and dunkin is also available here. Nice to stop here and take a break from driving.”
“Greenwich Shell on Post Road in central Greenwich, across the street from Whole Foods, is friendly, and spotlessly clean, and reminds us of the important services “gas stations” offered across America decades ago. 😊. Where else within 100 miles can you go with a flat tire on a Sunday morning, and find a trained mechanic able to fix it immediately? Where else can you buy gas, and get your car assigned to one of three car bays and have your engine diagnosed or fixed, while shopping for groceries? And the owner Chris is on premises every day, with some of the lowest cost prices for gas in the area.”
“Busy gas station/C-Store. Right on the highway. Easy off ramp. Didn't get gas or go inside. Stopped to stretch on a trip. Not a big place. Pumps were full of cars but no lines. Not many spots open to park. There were a few electric car charging pumps. Easy to get back on the highway.”
“Love the staff here! Not sure how but they know me by name. Weird mini mart though... selling bags and clothes now also. I guess you have to get creative to make a buck.”
“Very helpful manager Badu, thanks for helping me with my car issues. I really appreciate the friendly staff. Hard to find these days. Also super clean and great coffee.”
“So...pretty sure this is the cheapest gas in town.Rating purely based on that, haven't been inside, and the car wash stuff is super dirty.Super convenient location and nice pricing.”
“Gas price is 3.50, pretty steep but bathroom was clean and open which was perfect for my long car ride and needed rest stop!! Great experience, and there is air + vac if needed :) ??”
“Your basic Shell station. Convenient. Big plus: they always have a lot of ice if you need in in a pinch. And they even have giant "five pack" mega packs in the outside cooler out back (just ask).”
“Nice clean gas station right in the heart of town. Fair gas prices, but remember to pull in the proper side if you want self service. It was quite the adjustment on the east coast where they still offer to pump your gas, but it was kind of nice.”
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.
