“Who enjoys stopping to get gas? Not many drivers I imagine, so it is nice when the station's equipment works well. The gas pump read my card, dispensed the fuel quickly and even printed my receipt. I so dislike the message on a pump that displays, "See Attendant for receipt".This Mobil station on 17/92 north of Maitland looked clean and the pumps worked properly. Not to mention their price was lower than surrounding stations, which I understand won't always happen, but it is nice when it does. Most importantly I suppose, is that my turbo engine car runs well on Mobil (and Exxon) gasoline.”
“New staff for full day and they are all nice even if there’s only one. I walk in mostly everyday. I guess I made a friend. The staff always nice and thoughtful and keeping every thing neat and simple”
“I stopped by this 7-11 thinking they were closed only to meet the sweetest lady. She helped me on 9/18/22 at around 3:00 a.m. Her service made me and my friends night. Highly recommend if she is working. (If only I would of gotten her name)”
“Ok so…I don’t do reviews very often. Especially like this…but I have to say this is my absolute favorite 7-11! I started a new job in the area recently, I’m so thankful they’re so close. I used the restroom today and was so impressed by how clean it was! I also appreciate that they have and sanitizer dispensers not only in restrooms but throughout store aisles. As a 7-11 rewards and gold member, I always appreciate the cleanliness, care, and help that this particular staff provides. Gas stations are sometimes hit or miss and this one never fails. Cheryl and Ed are the 2 employees I see the most, and both are so kind and pleasant to talk with. They politely explain if I don’t understand the cost or coupon, and always ask how I’m doing in each interaction. As mentioned, it’s important to me to have a well-kept restroom when I may need. This was above and beyond. (Better than any other I’ve had to use). The staff always greet me when I walk in-since my 1st day going there. As a rewards member and as a customer-I highly recommend this location and hope more people get to experience the quality of service they provide.”
“Store is meh but best 93 in the area, was buying at a different shell and kept getting knock, tried this out on a whim and been riding at 0.00 ever since. Haven’t found a gas station nearby with 93 quality like this”

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.

The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort.

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.
