“It’s good store especially at night when nobody else open. That’s the only place in that corner to get some to eat. The truck drivers know what I’m talking about”
“This is actually a circle k now but that aside this place is great. As far as small gas station convenience stores go they are always stocked, clean, friendly, and the employees wear masks and smile even though their faces are covered.”
“I had a great experience here but this Circle K doesn't come without some issues, the location is a little awkward when it comes to maneuvering the fuel pumps and parking areas. When I arrived the fuel island was mostly occupied with big rigs fueling up before stating their day I attribute this to the lack of this type of service in the area which caused some chaos, add in a little impatience by those that are rushed to get in and out and you have somewhat of a quagmire in the making. After fueling my truck I moved out of harms way before going inside. I keep going back to the theme of this place, it definitely has a truck-stopish feel to it and that may just be because of the amount of big rigs loaded with building materials moving in and out of here. The crews are doing their last minute checks and grabbing a few foodstuffs and drinks before hitting the road. The staff are definitely morning people, I got a big smile and a cheerful good morning from both members of the team as I worked my way towards the back of the store looking for the water closet - it wasn't occupied and to my amazement was in pretty good shape with the amount of traffic passing through this C-Store at this hour. I frequent this area routinely so it's likely I'll return in the future...”

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.
