“Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh (Gas Station) was an easy place to stop for gas. But what stands out to me is that the young man working Friday night on March the 13th was very friendly and easy to ask questions. He did not act as though it was a bother to do his job. What a refreshing stop that was. I also give them a 10 out of 10 for the cleanilness of the soda fountain. I have stopped going to most gas stations for soda because the soda fountains are always REALLY gross. Hy-Vee gas station has really clean soda machines any time I happen to stop and it appears that they care. I will definitely be stopping here when I pass by. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.”

“5 Stars – Friendly, Fast, and Clean! Stopped by the Marathon gas station on University in Peoria, IL, and had a great experience from start to finish. The customer service was top-notch—friendly, upbeat, and genuinely welcoming. It’s not every day you have a good conversation while grabbing gas and snacks, but the staff here really made my day. The store layout was smart and easy to navigate, making it quick to find what I needed. Everything was clean and well-stocked, which speaks volumes about how well this location is run. My visit was fast, smooth, and hassle-free—exactly what you want in a quick stop. Whether you’re filling up your tank or just stopping in for a coffee or drink, this Marathon stands out for its great service and positive vibe. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be back!”

“The employees are so.polite & friendly. I have to use a walker, so I request one of the employees to fill the car with gas. They are ready to assist me with a smile on their face. I hope they know how much they are appreciated.”

“By far, one of my favorites. They have anything you may need, literally. This place has saved me many trips to a different store for odd ball items. They have a HUGE selection of vapes and related items. Hats and shirts along with items you wouldn't normally associate with a gas station. And their cigarette and gas prices are among the cheapest. They do sell alcohol also I that's you thing. The staff are all friendly and polite. If there something you would like to see them carry, literally just ask and usually within the week if they can get it they will. Great place for the in a hurry and don't want to make 2 or 3 stops kinda person. 420 friendly also with a nice selection of glassware and related items. 24hrs also!!!!”

“I run here regularly for cigarettes and the gentleman behind the counter is always kind and respectful. Really sweet. The place is clean for a gas station, just know that the interior of the shop is very small and very cluttered.”

“Even when this store is super busy they are very friendly, efficient and clean. The employees here are wonderful. They are generally very well stocked with a variety of groceries and beverages as well as novelties (hats, tees, smoking accessories, cell phone accessories). A little disappointed that the fountain soda has no diet Mt Dew in stock currently (and out of several other brands as well for the past week). Their selection of diet soda in bottles and cans is very limited also. Otherwise I prefer to shop here than any other gas station!”

“Kayla, the store manager is so personable and polite. I go in there all the time to do lotto and get a soda. She knows me by name and we always have a great couple minute conversation. If it wasn't for her I probably would go somewhere else but she is always so amazing. Also, she is the only one I ever see in the morning and for her to be by herself and have the store look so nice and still be that friendly is what's going to keep me coming back. So if Kayla sees this, thank you for starting my morning with a smile🙂”

“This Kroger's is the best grocery store in Peoria. There are other good grocery stores and Peoria, however this Kroger's beats them all! Excellent source for fresh fruits and vegetables, a professional bakery, hot foods ready to eat, a wide selection of lunch meat and cheeses, a butcher shop with an expert staff, a Starbucks, and a full selection of alcoholic drinks. The store is clean, and well lit. Parking is ample. The only reason I don't give this Krogers 5 stars is because it's almost 6 miles from my house.”

“My husband and I love coming to the deli at the North Knoxville location for Kroger. Karen and Nicholas have to be, by far, the kindest, loving, and most helpful employees we have EVER encountered. In fact, we ran into Karen somewhere else one day and it was as if we were long lost friends who just found each other. Away from work or at work, Karen is just as kind and genuine as she is at work. These two are ALWAYS there...working. I've never seen them standing around, on their phone, or doing nothing. They're amazing and they ARE hard workers, including weekends AND holidays. So I wanted to take a moment to let Karen and Nicholas know how much they are appreciated, how much they mean to me and my husband, and to never forget, that the kindness they keep on sharing does, indeed, make a difference. A big ol heartfelt THANK YOU to Karen and Nicholas. You're two of the coolest Rockstars! DEFinitely 5 gold stars! They deserve a raise and a day off! They earned it!!”

“I’m giving Red Carpet Car Wash five stars. They offer both interior and exterior cleaning, and the inside of the car is usually very well done. The monthly package is a great value—you pay one fee and can go through as often as you want, which makes it super convenient. Every once in a while, especially when they’re busy, the outside doesn’t get fully dried off. But considering how efficient they are and the volume they handle, it’s not something I make a big deal about. Overall, great service, solid value, and a place I keep going back to.

“I didn't go inside but the fuel pumps were well stocked, clean and 20 cents cheaper than across the river! It's a little hard to find coming from 74, but just keep following the signs for the civic center. Turn right at the light just before the bridge back across to Peoria.”
