“I have been stopping in here a few days a week with my kids to grab breakfast on the way to school. Every morning Mike greets us with a smile and has learned exactly what we get and will start getting it ready right away. He's always friendly and helpful with an excellent attitude. World could use more people like Mike!”
“Incredible woman who works in there!! Yesterday evening I came in for a bag of ice and smokes and they were fresh out so she made me one. Incredible!! She didn’t have to do that but she did and I really appreciated it. I didn’t catch her name but I wanted to acknowledge her here ??????”
“O M G. How have I not been here before? We come to Destin every year and I am so happy i just found this place. Kind of ran across it by accident. My vacations will never be the same. Got the chorizo tacos and wish I had gotten more. Look past the fact that this is in a gas station. Join me on giving Burritacos 5 stars.”
“Best Fuel prices around! Not to mention everything else they sale! I got my tobacco and tubes too! I stop every month on my way to Dr appointment. People are friendly and bathroom was clean, what else could you need ???✅”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience at the Chevron in Santa Rosa, all thanks to Ms. Donna. I stopped there in a tough situation, barely having enough money for even one gallon of gas. I had just started a new job and haven’t received my first paycheck yet, so I was feeling pretty stressed. Ms. Donna’s kindness and generosity were truly amazing—she put almost 2 gallons of gas in my tank, enough to get me home safely. Her compassion and willingness to help a stranger completely turned my day around. It’s rare to meet someone so selfless and caring, and Ms. Donna made a lasting impact on me. Her act of kindness reminded me there are still wonderful people in this world who go above and beyond to help others. Thank you, Ms. Donna, for being such a bright light in a difficult moment. Chevron is incredibly lucky to have someone like you, and I’ll always be grateful for your generosity.”
“Employee TIM - Top Notch Customer Service. This guy doesn’t miss, every morning a smile and a (whats up Dude!) Energy makes all the difference ! Great Staff”
“This CEFCO Convenience Store is basically a painter’s paradise. Pull up any time of day and you’ll see trucks lined up, boots dusty, and a crew grabbing fuel, snacks, and la Modelo and a Monster. Honestly, one of the cleanest gas stations in Santa Rosa Beach. Floors don’t feel sticky, bathrooms are solid, and everything is laid out easy so you’re not wandering around like an idiot looking for coffee. They’ve got a ridiculous variety of drinks, dog treats and snacks. Location is clutch right at the top of Highway 393… which also means you’re rolling in straight from whatever construction obstacle course 393 has turned into this week. If you made it through the cones and traffic, this place feels like a reward stop. Fuel up, grab your caffeine, maybe a quick snack, and get back out there. Whether you’re working all day or just passing through 30A, this is one of the more reliable and clean convenience stores in the area.”
“The staff was super friendly, got to race the carts with a nice family from Texas……of course I smoked them in the 1 Jammie McMurray McDonalds car…..it was a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!!!!!”
“Miss Brittany was very nice and did a superb job cleaning store *been coming here since early 1990s , bathroom s were exceptionally clean , smelled nice all throughout the store , floors were super clean coffee was great (love this store - God bless) Cefco brought gas stations to a whole new level *just think who else made brick pillars 20feet+ no one but you & the best coffee bar to be found ina convience store lineup anywhere *Thank you Brittany you are very sweet! - BSW”
“That guy who was working in there around 12 was absolutely phenomenal. You could tell he genuinely cared about every customer that walked in. Even when things got busy, he stayed composed and made time for each person without rushing anyone. He was attentive, professional, and just had a really solid attitude overall. It’s rare to see someone put that much effort into making sure everyone feels taken care of. Honestly, if anyone deserves a raise, it’s him—he’s the kind of employee that makes people want to keep coming back.”
“The manager here Terri really cares about her customers and her store. Not just the regulars but all who come in are greeted and welcomed. I skip a few places to go here instead.”
“We're regulars here since we live just down the street. They keep it well stocked and are beyond friendly. I've gotten to know the ladies there pretty good, and I honestly think that they're the best! Our favorite place for quick grabs.”
“Murphy Destin has E0,93 octane premium gasoline. One of the few in the area. Ethanol is terrible for your car. Ethanol only benefits the corn farmers, not the consumer. My car runs soo much better and gets more miles per gallon, per tank than gasoline diluted with Ethanol. Love this place! ⭐”
“Easy to get in/out, You have a GREAT Convenience store there. It was my turn in line and the young woman clerk took time to give me directions to SanDestin. My phone had ran out of power and I NEEDED HELP!!! I had bypassed SanDestin by 2.6 miles. She was MY LIFE SAVER!!! THANK YOU!!!”
“The people are very nice but be aware that they rarely have coins for change. Outside is very well lit and an employee always seems to be outside checking on things. The store is always very clean and well stocked.”
“Stopped in to top off our rental to turn it in and bought some lotto tickets and won $4.00. Then gave the winning ticket to the lot attendant at the airport as a tip. Along with one ticket yet to be drawn that night. I hope he won the $500.”
“Very friendly staff. Gas station is close to the beach and easy to reach. All-gender bathrooms are available but very tight and may have to wait in line for use. Lot of snacks and toiletries.”
“Great prices compared to crestview lol. Crestview gas is a lot higher than niceville. I tend to come to niceville for my gas. This circle k offers mobile pay options for people who don't like cash or card. :)”
“Number one, the service is excellent, I stop by every morning for a cup of coffee, taking advantage of the sip and save. Great deal, ask about it. The folks inside have been very helpful, from replacing the French vanilla creamer to keeping both registers staffed at peak times. There always seems to be 3 to 4 employees stocking or serving when I am there in the mornings. Nice work for a high volume store. Thankyou”
“Great fuel prices as a Walmart+ customer. Didn't go inside. Location is off the beaten path and the signage makes it a bit difficult to see from the main road if you're not from the area. Looked pretty clean.”
“I have been going to this store for years. There has been ups and downs. But overall there cashiers are friendly, and they are extremely helpful. If they are out of something I normally get, I ask about it and typically they try to get it for me. Again this store has ups and downs as does everyone. But it continues to be myGo to store. I love circle k”
“I used to go to Destin but that place is downhill so dirty looks like a wreck happened at the pumps and nobody cleaned it up. I’ve been coming to bluewater ever since and it’s always soClean in the coffee area most clean circlek I’ve been to. Love the staff there, I go often to speak to the dominos people and that sweet boy Chas.”
“Went here for gasoline. Popped inside to get my receipt and walked out with coffee, pastries and a breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious and a fraction of the prices at the local coffee places and Dunkin.”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades.

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.

Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus.

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.
