“The staff is always great. Don't like that the restroom has been out of order for the better part of 2 months.Pet friendly as long as your pet behaves and the staff usually has treats for your dog.”
“My favorite gas and sip station. This little gem has everything: dunkin donuts , fresh made Deli sandwiches, boiled peanuts, snacks, beer, wine, soda, and lottery tickets too! ?”
“If you're in the Dunedin area and you're looking for a good price on gas definitely check this place out they have the best price I've seen in a while at $3.34 a gallon”
“Mag is the man. Super nice guy and usually has anything you need. All the staff is friendly and the location is perfect is you’re headed towards the causeway, to downtown from the causeway, or towards our lady of lordes which is a fantastic church. Pinellas trail is right out back too, so stop in if you ride by. Switched its name to Surfside super shop”
“The best thing about this small gas station and convenience store is not just you can fill your boat just before you put in at Dunedin Marina. It also makes really good, fresh sandwiches everyday! They usually sell them all so each day they are made fresh. Everybody likes them. I had a family member come here to vacation and complained that I had not told him about the store! I like the local place, I hope you will too. They are really nice people, give them a try.”
“Great well-run location. First time in this store and was impressed by how immaculate, clean, well-kept, and organized it was. Impressive. Nick the manager on duty during the evenings is an asset to the company. Had a very pleasant interaction with him. Can tell he genuinely cares about his store and customers. Once I left I went right back in as forgot something and Nick was busy working and making sure his store was in tip top shape, not just standing around or playing on a smart device. It was around 2am-3am. My go-to convenience store has been the new Circle-K on US19 just built recently. At any time of day you pretty much NEVER have hot food there. If they do, its minimal and not very appealing. The fountain beverages are hit-or-miss if they are empty or not. Some employees there clearly don't want to be there and it shows. It's a brand new location....why is it like this? They should be taking notes from this Shell location. Maybe Nick could train them properly. This shell location will be my new local go-to location despite it being slightly less convenient to get to than the new Circle-K. Nice work Nick and Team Shell.”

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.
