“Best tire shop around, Ron is a super friendly & cool guy and knows what he’s talking about. He answered on his day off and still came in to get my tire sealed up for me. Will definitely be taking my vehicles back to Ron!”

“Nice people, but I'm tired of them. Not having my cherry donuts and putting chocolate on top of it. I miss those. I don't like the chocolate on top of it and I keep putting it on there or the chocolate chips. I just like the cherry donuts. They should do both, since some people like them. And when they're around, they're gone when I don't like the way you have your Tire hair set up the last time. I went, I was out $3. And they took my air out of my tire. I won't go back and do that again. And they won't take money, they only take card. That's ridiculous.”

“I love the fact that they have godfathers' pizza for sale there! Gas is always good, and I love the choices on fountain drinks. The employees are always friendly and very helpful. The entrance is a little rough on the north 6 other than that, I go there quite a bit.”

“We stopped here while coming home from camping. It was generally clean. Cashier was more interested in his phone. A guy was pumping gas outside and cleaned my windows for me. A little strange that from the freeway that there's a gas sign for Casey's but then it's like 3 miles down the road?”

"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.
