“Beautifully very well maintained gas station. The location is central into the area in place of Granite city that is well kept it is actually one of the best cleaned and maintained quick trips in the area with a perfect experience in customer service. It is across from the hospital located centrally by the other areas of fast food; a subway, rally’s, and a McDonald’s. There are parks across the street and down the street, this is a QuikTrip located in downtown Granite city in the up-and-coming arts District and the customer service provided is perfect the kitchen has cooked to order delicacies, croissants, breakfast or pizza/lunch. As well as pastries with specialty coffees and Espresso of every variety possible! Safe place, as it’s a police sub station I believe most are and sits by the police stations as well!”

“I ordered a sandwich from the kitchen and paid for it and a soda, which I didn’t have yet. I went back and filled a cup and was in the process of finding a lid when my sandwich order was called for pickup. I went and grabbed my order. As i turned around, a young male worker, who had been stocking and cleaning near the fountains, greeted me with the correct lid, straw, and napkin. That’s service! Didn’t catch his name but it was on Saturday 10/28 in the afternoon.”

“Friendly employees! Great covered area to fill gas at, takes cards as usual. NO DIESEL. Has frozen ice machines, AmeriGas propane exchange, a machine to put air into your tires. A dedicated area just for beer. All sorts of candy, food, and other essentials for the road. Fresh fruit was also found with an assortment of items that can put do QuikTrip prior to them installing bakeries at all locations. Yes, it can be crowded there, but it is also a very busy place with lots of customers. Floors were clean. Bathroom was to be expected (not so great but it'll work in a hurry). Midwest Petro runs this as a ZX (Zephyr Express which is slowly taking over the entire area for them). I found all pumps had windshield washing stations with plenty of water and tools, including paper towels.”

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.
