“I cannot recommend Almond’s Automotive enough! My 2019 Honda Odyssey broke down unexpectedly while visiting my daughter in Gainesville, right as my family and I were about to head back to Miami. We were stranded and worried about being stuck overnight, but this shop went above and beyond. From the moment I called, the team was professional, kind, and immediately understanding of our situation. They prioritized our repair so we wouldn’t have to extend our stay unnecessarily. They quickly diagnosed the issue as a burnt relay, fixed it efficiently, and charged a very reasonable price. They easily could have taken advantage of a traveling family in a tough spot, but they didn’t — their honesty and integrity truly stood out. The service was transparent, the work was done right the first time, and the staff treated us with genuine care and respect. If you’re in Gainesville and need reliable auto repair, go to Almond’s Automotive. They exemplify what a trustworthy, customer-focused shop should be. Thank you for saving our trip and restoring our trust in honest mechanics! Highly recommended!”

“My only complaint, when using the app to try to pre-order stuff, is that when you go to customize on the breakfast sandwiches, you're not allowed to take the egg off. Some people are actually allergic to eggs and can't eat them, but they do like breakfast sandwiches, so that needs to be fixed.”

Made sure to turn it off and we were able to pump gas without a problem or issue. Great place and rarely find good people anymore thank you again and will be getting gas from here when I'm on this side of town again.”

“Typical Wawa minus the gas pumps. Good, typical food selections that most Wawa's have. Prices are a little higher here than at other Wawa stores I've been to. Convenience to campus fee, I guess, but worth it for students.”

“Edit:I really want to give the new owners of this Sunoco a 5-⭐️ review because of my first two experiences (plus, the one really positive experience my mother had). And I’m back to do precisely that after my fifth visit.I had the opportunity to meet a few of the family members who own and operate this Sunoco all together my first time in the store (at least, first time in years) . It’s under new ownership, now open 24-hrs— and the pleasure of meeting some of the family was all mine. I’m sorry I didn’t get all of their names, but one gentleman in particular was especially kind, friendly, & welcoming. I promised to make it my new convenience store, as it’s not too far from home, and now it is. Always happy to support a small family-owned business, especially one where I am treated so well.After my experiences, my mom had a similar one. She said everyone was incredibly kind and friendly. That was maybe four weeks ago. I asked her over the phone to inquire if they had a type of Camel cigarettes that I love, a variety that I haven’t been able to find in this part of the country for several years: Camel Turkish Royals (not those disgusting things in the red box). I texted her a photo. The gentleman there went to the trouble of looking them up in a book where they select which cigarettes to order, and he promised my mom he would order a carton for me! I could not believe it. No one in Houston Gainesville had ever offered to do that. ABOVE AND BEYOND. What other city gas station provides that kind of personal customer service? I was shocked and excited. Ecstatic.And here’s where the EDIT really comes into play. I had a couple of experiences with a clerk (possibly family, too) that were not great. It wasn’t the end of the world, he didn’t do anything especially terrible to me. He was just unfriendly, and he was a bit rude & unhelpful during the second interaction last night, which left me particularly upset (due to unrelated factors—I had a long, bad day before that).I just went in to the store to see him there working alone for a third time. I was greeted with a smile. He remembered me from last night. I don’t know if anyone saw the two-part (yes, two part—deleted second part) review I left only 30 minutes before, both with “tentative” four stars (because, as I stated in it, I’m rooting for this family to succeed; they are wonderful people, and I wanted to eventually return to give them 5). I don’t care if the smile was review-related. It was nice & he was very friendly— more than I would expect from anyone with such a demanding, tiring job. If he was faking the smiles & friendliness, then bravo: he’s a good actor—and I’ll take it. It was a pleasant experience. He was super-helpful & even made a call this time to locate the cigarettes without me asking. He found them, too. Yay!Yes, he dismissively told me the rest had been sold yesterday when they were right there behind the counter (he just didn’t know—or look), and he was unpleasant & wouldn’t communicate clearly, but GUESS WHAT: he’s just a regular person like anyone else, with a stressful, physically-taxing job, in addition to his *actual life* outside work. He’s entitled to his legit bad days, to feel down when he’s down, or a to be a little grumpy—just like the rest of us.I’m going through a tough time right now myself, and I wish I could have waited a little longer before criticizing his behavior. I wish I could have been a little more patient & understanding. I’ve been the person who worked long hours on my feet, serving irate, demanding customers—and it’s draining. I’ve also been rude to people in life, as we all have. I’m sorry I wasn’t more empathetic.Life is just so hard, you guys. It’s truly amazing that any of us manage to be kind at all. So I treasure it where I find it. This Sunoco will always have my business for this reason. So PATRONIZE THE SUNOCO STATION by Home Depot on NW13th & 53rd in GNV. It’s open 24 HOURS now… & I heard a rumor (from the owner) that they’ll heat you up a pizza or something if you’re hungry at 2AM.”

“The owners/employees are super nice to me every time I stop in for beer and random snacks, good deals on adult beverages, and any time I’ve needed it randomly their milk is very expensive but also always extremely fresh. Although I wish they had my 8mg On pouches, they offered to carry them but said they just don’t sell too many of those at that location. But I love going there for everything else.”

“I just wanted to take a moment and give a huge thanks to Hailey and Everett. I last minute needed a fuel delivery with Little knowledge on how and where to begin. This may not have been a hard accomplishment for someone with a little bit nor knowledge than I, but the professionalism and kindness with helping me get things done in a timely manner was a breath of fresh air. Thank you both for being so efficient and professional highly recommend this company and these people”

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.
