“Normally I wouldn’t review a gas station but this one went above and beyond and totally deserves it. Plenty of gas stations inside are run down or missing the basics but this place has a little of everything from things like clothes and toys to fresh food to your expected normal convenience store things. Plus the guy behind the counter was just plain nice and friendly and even added a spoon for some of the food we picked up. Didn’t have to ask or anything, he just saw we needed one and said “you’ll need these too!” Just know if you’re halfway between this station and somewhere else, you won’t be wrong going here. The ONE thing I’d add, if you’re turning north off Alton rd to get here, it’s a quick left to turn in here. And if you miss your turn, it’s not a quick fix”
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chevron, and I must say, the experience was outstanding thanks to the exceptional service provided by Carlos. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Carlos went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were met, answering questions with patience and offering helpful suggestions without being pushy. It’s clear that he values customers and strives for excellence in service. Equally impressive was the cleanliness of the establishment. Every corner of Chevron was spotless, from the convenience store area to the restrooms. It was evident that they take great pride in maintaining a clean and inviting environment. The attention to detail, from the polished surfaces to the organized displays, made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the combination of Carlos's exceptional customer service and the pristine atmosphere at Chevron made my visit memorable. I highly recommend stopping by Chevron to anyone looking for a welcoming place with top-notch service and cleanliness. I’ll definitely be returning!”

“Impeccable attention from the store staff. The cashiers are very friendly and there are always the products I need. Plus, it's always clean!! Something I don't normally see at other service stations)”
“Prices are higher due to no other station being on the beach, but it always has receipt paper at the pump and easy access back to Alton South. The convenience store inside is well stocked as well.”
“This gas station offered affordable gas and a great service to their customers. They are very pleasant to approach with. It was my first having them and will always have them the next time I pass by.”
“Great place to come for your tire needs , great customer service specially from Hector the guy is an amazing person always willing to help. The whole reason why I always come to this place is because of him !!! Thanks Hector for your help”
“I always go to Chevron for gas. The convenience of the location is the first reason I go there. There are many other gas stations nearby but I don’t have to worry about traffic or anything because I live close by. I have never had any issues with Chevron. The shop is clean, well maintained, and the employees are nice. I have seen employees at other gas stations being rude to people but that has never happened to me here. The price for gas is expensive so I only fill up here when I really need it.”
“Great customer service, friendly and very helpful! I wish for god to forever bless George the man is very upstanding and helpful, I live an hour away I lost something very valuable he took his time and helped me look for it and I found it, without him that would've cost me I forever thank George my new friend!??”

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.
