“Costco is my go-to gas station. This time of year that it is with little or no snowbirds the pumps are usually available without any wait During snowbird season I suggest you go very early just after opening or go late when most of the senior citizen snowbirds are in for the night. Gas prices are always the best in the area”
“Flanders Gas is a great local company, They have served this area for years, and have helped me as well as many people in this area a lot. Especially through hurricane season! The commitment to quality and service goes above and beyond. I support this local business and will continue to, and I am grateful to have this business to turn to in the area. I scanned down through the reviews prior to leaving my review, and felt the need to respond. In reading a recent review, it is very petty to post a negative review about forms of payments a business accepts. I have had no problem making payment at or through their business for product and service work. Perhaps there are people out in this world that are the problem, and their only solution is to give poor reviews. Take those reviews with a grain of sand. This is a true local company that does a great job. Thanks for all you do for this community. Keep up the great work please, we need you! A local client for years.....”
“These dudes are very knowledgeable and friendly. I have gone to them a couple times (for tires, wheel bearings, and troubleshooting) and was always meet with quality work. Prices are very fair and I will continue to keep going to em!”
“Had an excellent experience working with Donald & Cameron on a recent headache. Had a gas leak that was due to another firms less than stellar work on an interior to exterior gas line conversion/rerouting. Donald & Cameron diagnosed the issue rapidly and were able to provide videographic evidence of the leak in order to assist with getting the prior firm back out to correct their work. Will definitely reach out to them for future natural gas line and natural gas fireplace related work. Thanks very much guys! Appreciated.”
“Friendly staff especially John the mid shift gentleman with glasses. Goes out of his way to cook food even when super busy... My personal opinion this man deserves a raise.”
“Family owned and they are just so nice the lady is extremely sweet, sometimes you go into mom and pop place and they are rude and quick to get you out...they are not like that here love this place”
“Whenever I can I go looking for fuel, although they offer other types of services as well and I think they almost always have the best prices on fuel, I have always been very well served.”
“We'll it was open late. They were stocked enough. Decent selection even tho small. Clerk a little jaded and did not say much.. store was fine NO RESTROOMS after dark. Weird, Yet we are Just visiting this area and have no information about it but we did see so many passed out on the side of the building so maybe the neighborhood isn't the best but it sucked we couldn't use the bathroom.”
“really appreciate the kindness in letting me use the restroom, especially since many stations like this don’t offer it and treat people poorly. Ever is different. He provides excellent service, is very quick, and keeps both the station and the restroom spotless. I couldn't be more impressed. I truly hope he is recognized for his hard work.”

“My only complaint regarding the Kangaroo Mobile gas station on Bee Ridge and Macintosh, is that every time I come here to get gas, everything is TOO WONDERFUL!!! Actually, Ashlee’s customer service was commensurate to a half of day off with pay!!! Keep up the great job!!!”
“The new short white girl is phenomenal! I think her name. Is Morgan! She's very consistent with her friendly attitude and outgoing personality, it can get to be extremely busy, but I don't mind waiting knowing I'll be getting a one of a kind customer service with her!! No cookie cutter pitch here, and she knows every single deal going on, she'll up sale you on something everytime?”
“This BP gas station is convenient because once you cross over Stickney Pointe Rd this is the only gas station on the right side. I added a star because they let you watch T.V while you pump gas.”
“The current owners are wonderful very friendly and neighborhood minded with most prices lower then Wawa. Person who gave 1 star most likely referring to the previous owners.”
“Who knew pumping gas could be so exhilarating? The Mobil gas station has it all: the fuel to power your car and a popcorn machine that produces popcorn worthy of a Michelin star. I come here just for the snacks, but my car insists on filling up too. Highly recommend this gas station for a tastefully satisfying experience!”
“This gas station has become top tier it used to be poor under poor management it is now under great control you guys have to come look at the new changes !!! Have to stop by !!”
“Went for a coffee and some Red Bulls this am. Hadn't been here in a while. The clerks on duty were friendly and welcoming as usual. Coffee bar wasn't fully stocked; probably needed to be refilled after a busy morning. No problem tho. Made my coffee, got what I needed and was very satisfied with the whole visit. The clerk who waited on me, the one who has worked there for a long time, was pleasant and efficient and saw me off with a smile. Happy to give this Circle K my business!”
“We were visiting from the UK and found ourselves in an unexpected situation that needed resolving. Not knowing where to turn, we stopped at the local gas station — and we’re so glad we did. Sharon absolutely saved the day, and we’re so grateful for her kindness. If you ever find yourself in need of assistance, this is the place to go — and if you’re lucky enough to be helped by Sharon, you’re in excellent hands!”
“If you're looking to get a slurpee, and fill up on gas, this is the place for you. Staff was very friendly and there's no threat of wasp attacks inside the building or outside in the parking lot.”
“We rented a 20’ deck boat here again this week, and great things just keep getting better! Patrick, Anna and the crew are awesome, and go out of their way to accommodate everyone! And they have added a really cool line of shirts. Heading there now to hopefully reserve another boat for Tuesday.”

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.
