“Love this station. Great addition to the area. One issue though, the icee machines have been clean and working up until a few weeks ago. Come on guys! Coke is regularly down and others have been problematic. Sometimes the icees are the only reason we stop in! Let’s get things working and maybe add another Coke option. It seems popular. Otherwise, the station is rocking. Great food options and competitive gas pricing.”

“I like this place, to bad all the construction that's been going on for years makes it difficult to get in and out sometimes. Maybe one day they will finish 159th and cedar but I doubt it will be anytime soon. I do like the employees, all very nice and efficient.”

“Good Shell station with great FlexFuel/E85 prices($2.17/per g). It’s a bit older and could use some updates, but I mostly just use the pumps, so it’s not a big deal for me. Works for me, especially since E85 is very cost-effective in my Dodge Grand Caravan. Overall, a good and convenient place to fill up.”

“I had a couple problems with the app and my subscription with trying to start the car wash. They helped me at this Lockport location and it was smooth. I'm glad its active for close to an hour so I could fix the problem. As for the car wash, I loved the time it carefully took to wash and polish my car after. It left it cleaner and the experience was nice just being parked there waiting it, the way it went back and forth multiple times. I also liked the timed dryer. I'm happy I subscribed, I hope the app works better next time!”

“I literally just had one of the nicest things happen to me....I went to pay for my gas and 3 monsters and the $50 bill I had got rejected by the safe , I didn't have any other money or available credit card space ( 2 days to payday ) I stood there for a minute... Confused... Contemplating my next move, politely told the clerk I'd have to cancel the transaction. I started to walk out and heard the other gentleman employee say something but I didn't catch what he said....I walked back to my car and as I was getting in... The other employee who had said something as I was walking out ( I really wished I had gotten his name ) walks up to me with 3 monsters in his hands , he said " it's good , here you go ... I took care of it and the fuel... Go ahead and fill up " I understand it was only $17.56 but he certainly didn't have to do that, he also couldn't have known how unbelievably tight my finances are right now , he also will probably never know how unbelievably grateful I am and how much his kindness and generosity moved me. I honestly got a little choked up , he is a phenomenal human being and a next level employee. He also turned a major negative into a positive for me and moved me to my soul. I wanted to take this opportunity to say Thank you ( again ) and let everyone I can know that this just became my preferred gas station, and I will be looking into contacting corporate to let them know that they have got one unbelievably gracious, generous, kind hearted ,and thoughtful human being for an employee and if he isn't a manager there.... He should be”

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.
