“If you use this fuel station you should get the rewards card and apply it for discount on fuel snacks drinks Always friendly help convenient in-and-out because there are many fuel pumps can you vividly located”
“We were returning our car to Avis and I was a little worried about going to Costco for gas, fearing long lines and delays. Well, as others have said, the longer lines are in the afternoon when people get off work. In the mornings, there are minimal lines. We literally pulled right up to a pump at 8:20 am and then filled up immediately. The card terminal recognizes your Costco Visa as your membership/payment card, or you can scan your Costco card. There are helpful Costco employees right there to help you and keep it moving. Then it's about 3 minutes to the rental car return center although we did miss the last turn in the airport loop and ended up exiting the airport and doing an illegal u-turn to get back in there. 50 cents cheaper than nearby Aloha gas and super efficient and clean. There are stickers on the readers so you know your card is not being stolen/cloned because the stickers have dates and you can see the seal. Otherwise just tap to pay. Awesome addition to Maui!!!! Premium and regular, no diesel. Extremely efficient, just go.”
“Great makau side neighborhood general variety store. Has great food cooked in house daily. They carry everything from charcoal & firewood to pet food,fresh local produce, spirits,gas ,air,water & tobacco products.”
“Bought cigarettes from here. I had to get a second mortgage to buy 1 pack. But I guess that’s what comes with going to a secluded island ! Great staff and friendly. They have a full on supermarket almost inside.”
“The price here is the lowest publicly accessible price for gas on the island. It usually is exactly the same price as Costco. Lions move faster and you can use a variety of credit cards other than just Visa”
“Absolutely wonderful! I got my safety check done, and only waited 20 mins. The owner made sure to talk story with me like I was the most important customer, and I noticed he did that with the person before me. Great service reminds me of old Hawaii.”
“There's a certain ice cream there of which I'm truly fond of. It's a Nabisco chocolate chip cookie with ice cream in the middle. Me and my dog fight over it?”
“This place deserves 5 stars for one reason, although they do a ton of great things. Two words: Hurricane Wedges.During our last visit to Maui, we were told to go to the gas station in Paia to get these hurricane wedges. We went reluctantly, but took the suggestion and I could not be happier that we did.Fast forward a few years and we are back in Maui for a wedding. We required the entire wedding party go to this gas station to get these hurricane wedges. Everyone was skeptical given we are eating at the best restaurants in Maui Of course, but after trying them the entire groups minds were blown. Everyone loved them also.Go here, get them.”
“I haven't put gas in a car in the last 6 years. From my recollection of annoying advertisements and slow pumps, I was not looking forward to fueling my rental. However, the experience here was smooth and hassle free.”
“This is not a 24 access to gas pump operation. I called the store and person said the hours are 5am to 9pm. The business hours need to be updated on the web here.”
“Great car wash if you need one. Love their aloha spirit and kindness. You must pay before and go inside the store and see the cashier. Friendly folks plus pick up some ono snacks before. It's inside next next Havens take out , so get your lunch too while you are there. The best smash burger! Plus once you are in the car wash station tell the nice man you want a wipe down too! Plus give him your cash slip from the cashier because he needs the number. He does a great job and oh so friendly even if you don't know where to park for the wipe down. He thought I couldn't drive. Haha! But very nice and kind. Please give him a generous tip. He does an excellent job. I will drive a little further just to have my car washed here!”
“Wowza the price of octane is simply through the roof these days but at least TEXACO is still in biz. Thanks Joe you did this to Americans! But aside from high prices this station does provide a service for FRANK so I thank you for allowing me to fill up!”
“Maui's first Safeway fuel station and Safeway Express convenience store is now open at the Ho'okele Shopping Center along with a brand new Safeway store. Access points are from Pulehu Road (side road) or on Ho'okele Street from the east-bound lanes only. FUEL STATION: It's three islands wide for a total of 18 pumps that are spaced far apart so there's lots of room to maneuver around. And the kicker? The price per gallon was only 4-cents higher than Costco Gas, a small price to pay should you need fuel at peak times. I'm 99% sure they're open 24/7. My friend put in her Safeway number but didn't receive any discount on gas ($3.17/gal); not sure if she doesn't have any points or what. EXPRESS STORE: Safeway's version of a gas station convenience store has all the bells and whistles inside. Pokē bowls, soft serve, hot dogs, coffee stations, and alcohol are available in addition to the usual offerings. They even have a walk-in beer refrigerator! A Bank of Hawaii ATM is inside too. OVERALL: New, clean, and competitive.”
“Stopped here to fill up the rental car before heading back to the airport. Standard gas station convenience store. Got some jerky and unsweetened tea. One drawback was that one of the packs of jerky on the rack was growing mold. Good thing I didn't accidentally grab that one. On a positive, I was allowed to use their bathroom in the employee area which was really clean.”
“We like to stop here before returning our car rental. Has cheaper gas then the others and there is a very convenient island for vacuuming your car out before heading to the airport. And with Maui's sticky sand, vacuuming out the car is a necessity!”
“Great architecture for a gas station! Doesn’t ruin the feel of the town unlike most gas stations. Definitely in the top 5 most beautiful gas stations I’ve ever seen. A bit detached from other areas of Paia, but still impressive. Well done Shell!”

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.
