“Clean and professional staff. There is a small convenience store on site. There were no lines and pumps were easily accessible to traffic flow. Outside area was clean and all windshield wiper boxes were clean and stocked.”
“If you don't have a chevron app it's time to get one. I save anywhere from 5 cents to 50 cents on a gallon. It's best to have a 2 or more vehicle system to get the most savings. Chevron usually is the least expensive service station around. Use Google to check locations before getting your gas.”
“This is a very awesome gas station they treat me like family every time I come in. I usually go here to get beer and cigarettes, and play my lottery tickets. The beer and cigarettes really great in prices. Highly recommend this gas station for your convenience store needs. Also they have a restaurant next-door haven't tried it but will be doing that soon.”
“I gotta be honest, my friend put me on to Wawa years ago. We stopped at one and I saw him ordering a sandwich from a gas station. I looked at him like he had lost his mind. A sandwich from a gas station? No way. Then he told me, “Man, you don’t know about Wawa. They’re all over up north and they’re starting to come down to Florida.” That was about four years ago. He let me try a piece of his sandwich, and I was shocked. The quality was legit. Fresh bread, quality meats, made-to-order, and packed with flavor. As a chef, I’m usually pretty critical about food, but Wawa earned my respect that day. In my opinion, their sandwiches are right up there with a Publix sub, and that’s saying something. Then came the coffee. For years I was a loyal Dunkin’ coffee drinker. Dunkin’ was my go-to every morning. My friend told me to try Wawa’s coffee, and I figured, why not? One cup later, I was hooked. Smooth, fresh, consistently good, and available any time of day. Wawa literally stole me away from Dunkin’. Fast forward to today, and Wawa is everywhere in Florida. What started as me thinking my friend was crazy turned into me becoming a regular customer. Great sandwiches, great coffee, clean stores, and quick service. Wawa isn’t just a gas station—it’s a destination. If you’ve never tried it, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just don’t be surprised if you end up becoming a regular like I did.”
“The people were very nice but there was a long line in one of the registers did not accept Credit cards and people got angry when she opened up for just cash. She was a very nice lady.”

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.
