“It is very rare to not find a line for gas, however certain times of the day are better than others. There are times when some machines are out of service, but they are the best option this south in DE.”
“Always has the cheapest gas..the only down side is people will park at the pumps and be talking to someone they know..so the pump will be held up...but other then that the employees are super friendly and gas is always the cheapest.”
“Great shopping and oftentimes excellent sale items. During the summer, this is the place to check out and get Yellow watermelon. It's very refreshing and a little different tasting from red watermelon. Redners is always clean and you can count on finding an assortment of different grocery items that other grocery stores may not have. They serve hot & cold food, deli as well as bakery items.”
“Great location, not far from 113. Plenty of pumps and a very popular Wendy's attached - long line of cars in the drive-thru. Restrooms available, and plenty of snacks for your road trip!”
“I’ve got to say—Mike’s Food Mart deserves every single one of these five stars. From the moment I pulled up, I knew this place was different. Paying with cold, hard cash isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated. I saved several cents per gallon and even got a small discount on snacks at the counter—cash payment? Rewarded. No awkward card fees. No digital tracking. Just privacy and economy, in perfect harmony. The pumps were clean, the air smelled faintly of fresh coffee and deli rolls, and the attendant—friendly, sharp-eyed, and obviously proud—greeted me by name (they even remembered I prefer cash ?). They pointed out the special discount signage, topped off my tank, and made sure everything worked—no card reader fuss required. Inside, the shelves were well-stocked: crisp drinks, fresh sandwiches, and surprisingly good produce. The cashier offered me the cash price with a warm smile and zero pressure to swipe. Total transaction was fast, efficient, and felt honoring both privacy and the business. Mike’s knows that cash pays more than face value—it’s loyalty you can’t code. What I appreciate most: they’ve built trust in a world of data surveillance. Every time I visit, I feel like I’m supporting old‑school values—honest money exchanged for honest service. If you—like me—prioritize privacy, prefer no fees, and don’t mind a tailored discount for being old-fashioned, Mike’s is where you want to be. Five stars for exceptional service, genuine cash discounts, and a welcoming, privacy‑respecting experience. Mike’s Food Mart isn’t just a gas station—it’s a statement.”
“Excellent service wonderful staff always pleasant and professional will stop by again when I’m down that way to grab a bite to eat the food is excellent and priced well. You guys do a great job.”
“I like this place fast service, a good place for lotto they get it right.Gas most of the time is better than most prices are closest to Sam Club.. Very Clean Store”
“I usually go there every Wednesday and Friday around 5am for a coffee before work. Employees are always friendly and energetic at that time. But my last experience on Wednesday morning 9/23 is what won the review. There was two guys trying to sell me something; one who swore he knew me. Its not Wawas fault that there are a lot of homeless people nearby. When I was having difficulty getting these guys to leave me alone, a employee (I believe the manager on duty), came outside and escorted me to my car and then handled the solicitors politely but firmly. Making sure I got to my car safely was really going above and beyond and I thank her for that.”
“Good employees and I know the management can't completely fix the panhandlers but they have gotten especially overwhelming, I cant pump gas without people approaching me for drug money and its just uncomfortable, sorry if this offends anybody but come on Valero please enforce your policies better.”
“Visited the store on wednesday at 730pm it was busy but i experienced the best customer care from Activia she was the cashier and went above and beyond than the Manager on duty. Its people like her who deserve a recognition and need to be taken care of by upper management and corporate as a whole. Very positive lady with a smile and not afraid to go the extra mile. Thank you again Activia.”
“Decent prices, competitive with surrounding stations. This location is right on Dupont Hwy which makes it convenient. The location is a little rough, and has a worn out look. There is a convenience store at this location as well should you need to pick anything up. There is air here as well.”
“From the outside it might not look like much but the people who work there are always nice and even give you a free soda from time to time without even making you use your points.”
“I shopped here last 5/17/2023. The signs that hung above the aisles that tell you what is in that aisle are blank! The signs are still up but there's nothing on them . Who's brilliant idea was that? I do like shopping here they have a great selection of products & there's seldom a wait to use self checkout. They probably higher prices than others but they have the products I want.”
“My wife and I stopped here for gas. It’s wasn’t crowded. We did everything so fast and ordered some delicious food. Great service and the atmosphere with music was amazing. I strongly recommend”
“Tony’s Auto Repair is honest, reliable, and fairly priced. They effortlessly installed a left-side CV axle, repaired busted radiator hoses and connectors, and have handled multiple oil changes with consistent, solid work. No upselling, just straightforward explanations and quality service done right the first time. Friendly staff and a shop you can truly trust. Highly recommend.”
“Derek is a great guy!!! Had a bit of an issue with my lunch but he cleared that right up for me and even also gave me my money back at my convenience 💜💜💜 tysm for turning my day right back around in such a positive way!”
“Holla at ‘em Jay! I’ve been coming here for maybe like… 5 decades. My mom never went here, my grandpa never came here, it’s just been me. Isn’t that crazy? Get the chicken it’s good fam”

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.

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.
