“Great customer service. Alice is an excellent cashier. Always smiling and helpful. I will go out of my way to get gas there. Prices are comparable to the other stations in Calhoun.”
“Kroger used to have free air. But when I got there that had change like so many other of things in these times. But to have to pay $1.50 to start the pump and not have it last long enough to check all of my tires. I was a little disappointed. Just glad I enough quarters.”
“We were treated like family from the time we walked in the door! The service was impeccable. We look forward to a long relationship with our friends in Calhoun, Ga!”
“Ppl are super awesome, and down to earth! They always make u feel welcome. You could be having a bad day and the guys in there will make sure you have a smile on your face before you walk out the door!”

U have stop here and try the chicken tenders and tater wedges. 3x3 which is 3 tenders and 3 wedges for little over $5 bucks. And the ? tenders r the big big ones. NM or little bitty either”
“Good gas prices and new pumps. The pumps are rather close together so I would imagine it would be difficult to have all 4 pumps occupied at the same time. Employee's are nice and building is rather clean.”
“This place is amazing. The cashier Krystal always has a smile on her face and even includes the kids when she rings us up. My kids beg to go in just to see her when her van is in the lot. All the staff is awesome but Krystal is absolutely amazing.”
“This is a great older convenience store, been here for many years. The building has been updated, so it is in line with other competitors. They offer a large selection of grab n go foods, as well as boiled peanuts and fresh nachos with cheese/chili. They have a nice selection of coffee and frozen drinks as well and restrooms for the need.The help is friendly and courteous. Convenient location to I-75 and hwy. 53 This location is handicap friendly. I would recommend this business to everyone . Go there if not for anything but the fresh donuts, their to die for. This is a very busy location”
“The gentleman who works at the register is such an amazing human being. He remembered me and what kind of cigarettes I smoke after just coming in a couple times. Really makes you feel like a valued customer. I really appreciate his kindness and I will definitely be a regular customer from here on out! An exceptional experience!!!”
“My daily breakfast stop is here. Brandon is an amazing cook and it shows by the crowds in the morning. I feel welcomed and love that they know my breakfast order by memory.The whole crew is fantastic and down to earth. I highly recommend!!”
“Listen, did you know in the south you can’t go to a gas station or as my 4 year old says a “ga cation” without getting a home cooked meal. This place has the best breakfast I’ve eaten in a long time. I love their biscuits and gravy, I smother it with grits and their hash brown casserole… my mouth is drooling right now and I got a plate sitting next to me… alright now, yall be good.”
“I know these folks from other marathon over by armory and the ammaco right next door. Really friendly people and great service. Recommend stopping by. Ohh yeah.... Their post b getting a restaurant in the empty side building. Can't wait”

“We had a flat tire and the manager in charge was awesome. Helped us change our tire and sent us off to the tire shop. My family is truly grateful. Thank you friend and God bless you!”
“This is a great little gas station. The manager goes above and beyond to help the customers. The rest of the staff are awesome too. At times it is only 2 employees running it for weeks at a time. They really do their best not to inconvenience their customers during adverse times.”
“I stop here because Alex always has the coffee fresh and it’s always clean.I like the staff because they are always professional and talk to me like we’re family.I stop here every time I come through this area because Alex always puts a smile on my face.The parking lot is large and always clean and has a lot of free parking.I will say if you are in the area go ahead and stop because you will not be disappointed and if you like Indian food there is one across the street and you will see it as you are pulling in.”
“I had to add this truck stop to Yelp! Is that weird? Maybe. But here me out. Days traveling on the road hours since our last stop in Atlanta. I am not a fan of Atlanta. Nothing good was open in Atlanta while we there for an overnight stay that was of any good service or quality. Bad hotel stay, bad fast food, and traffic that makes you reconsider if the price of airfare was really so bad to and from a remote part of Florida...Rest Areas and truck stops are an oasis in a desert of traffic delays and bad drivers. This Pilot Travel Center is of mention for the cleanest truck stop I've been in for quite some time. Clean is a hard thing to quantify for truck stops because you can't eat off a surface or would you want to really sit directly on a seat in one? But there was a shocking lack of paper waste on the floors or graffiti on the stall walls. The fast food location is why I felt the need to add this location most of all. There is a Wendy's attached to one end of the property and they had the best tasting food from a fast food location I have had in a very long time. This whole trip has been a slow voyage of the damned between the Ohio Valley and the Gulf coast. Fast food that was less than questionable on freshness and some locations where franchisees price gouged knowing they were the only game in town for about 80 miles around. $6.00 for a large and a medium fry from McDonald's in nowhere's-ville, Florida. Even back at home I can't bring myself to find a Wendy's with food that is this hot and fresh-tasting. I used to work for a Wendy's and some of our food was hard-pressed some days to meet this quality level. I wanted to make sure that fellow travelers know that when they debate about when and where to stop (and I have had this discussion along the route that others do have this internal debate) they seriously consider pulling in here for what we found was reasonably priced gas, food, and a couple of fast food options, one of which was the best Wendy's I'd tasted in years. They also seem to have e a Jr. double stack with bacon which I hadn't seen anywhere else. It seems like it should be expected, but this was such a surprising and rare delight I had to make sure others knew they are here. I hope my review will help you make a good decision on where to stop and when might be a better time to stop since there are multiple choices up and down this strip of hwy 75.”
“Katie made what was looking like a bad night into a great one. Our water didn't work at rv sight 3. We had been up since 6am it was 9 o'clock at night. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable! I understand it was her first night as night manager. She hit it out of the park! I see a long future with Loves!”
“Felt compelled to give a positive shout out to this Circle K/ Shell Station. We just stopped to gas up, and grab a energy drink….used the “facilities” as well. So impressed by just how clean the bathrooms were, as well as the entire store….tile floors and all. It’s obvious the employees take pride in their place of business, which hopefully is a direct reflection on the management, and how they treat their employees. Shared this with the sweet clerk as well. Nice job!”
“Great store. Very friendly, really helpful. Saved me from having to goto Dalton to rent a u-haul when the store i reserved one from didn't have it back yet.”
“I stopped for gas, used my credit card and pumped my gas. Was told on the pump i would have to get my receipt inside, but discovered it was closed. No problems, just didn't get my receipt. Would stop again if necessary.”
“It's the best place to buy if you come on that get you if you need some bfew at the nationville. Come on, you dumb, cause you get a lot of money in your pocket. That's where you need to come and get all of you.”

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.

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.
