“Made a right in Albuquerque. Decided to get back to US 24 at first exit. What a great idea. The kindness showed to my wife and I by the man at register is unforgettable. He was very knowlegeable about the products, and the area. He got us back on track fast & easy. We will purposefully sidetrack to H & H in Goreville!”

“I stopped here to grab some food in the evening before heading into the dark abyss to get where I was going for the evening.. the food was pretty good the last couple times, so today November 7th I'm stopping again on my way to Kentucky. I should have left reviews before but I was busy driving a lot. So I have done multiple stops here in the last 3 months and yes this place is good if you call ahead they are great at taking your order and repeating it for you and making sure you are served well when you come pick it up. That's why they have visit number three for me. Pics may follow if I take any”

“This is essentially just a gas station and in many regards basically the same as others. However they have an amateur selection of home decor consisting of mostly unique signs, native American indian items, and various unique finds great for gifting. Best item i ever spotted was a very large coca cola rug for just $99! If u have ever purchased an area rug u would agree thats a reasonable price.”

“It's a great gas station, where you can come to extend your adventure by putting that GoGo juice in your vehicle. While you're here you're going to need some go-go juice for that stomach of yours. Get all you can get while you can as there's more people on the adventure trails and they're going to get some of that GoGo juice too.”

“Fun to find a Stuckeys after all these years! This is a small express shop, licensed to use the name and carry the family products. Did I get an original pecan log? Yes I did. We also found an amazing supply of bourbons, including Pappy's at a very questionable price.”

“Stopped at Casey’s in Vienna, Illinois to grab some gas and stretch my legs. Walked inside and was immediately greeted—super friendly staff. The place was very clean, well-stocked, and had pretty much anything you’d want for snacks. They’ve got a pizza station too, which is always a plus. I needed a little help while I was there, and the staff was quick and kind about it—no attitude, just good people. Of course, I grabbed a sweet tea (my road trip tradition), and while it was decent, it’s definitely not Georgia sweet tea… but hey, we’re not in Georgia, so there’s that!”

“Had to turn around, go back and visit for a minute - if not only to jog a memory of a moment of the days when grandparents did simple but consistent things like buying the best pecan logs at Stuckeys but saying they were homemade at Christmas time.”

“Yes!! Clean bathrooms !!!!!? This is one of the cleanest places I’ve ever visited! The gas station honestly feels like a superhero shop, if you’re into action figures, you’ll love it here. On top of that, the people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The area feels very safe, which makes it a perfect spot to meet up with others, exchange items, or just take a break if you’re traveling like I am. It’s also a great stop for families looking to grab a quick snack. I haven’t tried the food yet, but it definitely looks delicious. Personally, I’m big on good prices and safe environments, and this place checks both boxes. If you’re passing through, I highly recommend stopping by, you’ll feel comfortable and well taken care of!”

“Great customer service! I visit this convenience store every day and am always greeted with a warm welcome. The staff are very respectful, kind, and keep the store well organized and clean! Would highly recommend this store!”

Read the postLove'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.
