Speedway, a well-known convenience store chain, has been a staple in the Joliet community for over 45 years. Despite its prime location, the store is consistently busy, leading to long lines and wait times. Customers have praised the store's cleanliness, particularly the "cleanest bathrooms in the entire city," and the polite and friendly staff. However, recent changes since the store's acquisition by 7-Eleven have caused some concerns among loyal customers. The new management has been accused of cutting employee benefits, reducing store hours, and causing longer wait times, a dirtier store, and frustrated employees. Customers have noticed the store's decline in quality, with one reviewer noting that they "never went anywhere else until just recently as 7-11 bought them out and they are nowhere near the company Speedway was." Despite these challenges, the store remains a popular destination, offering competitive fuel prices and delicious food options, including well-received spicy wings. Customers appreciate the store's specials, deals, and coupons, particularly for the hot food items. Overall, Speedway is a beloved community staple, known for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenient offerings. However, the recent changes under 7-Eleven's ownership have left some customers concerned about the store's future and the well-being of its long-term employees.
They always give the best price and serve you well. Easy to park and exit on Jefferson Avenue

Along with my fuel, I also got their wings. For gas station wings these were really good. Spicey but not overly so. Love that they offer specials, deals and coupons for their hot food items!

The place was clean, and the employee was very friendly when I asked for directions.
