“All in all, a good place to get gas in Springfield. They tend to be quite busy. Some of their pumps have hoses long enough that you can fill your car from the right or left side. Some don't have hoses long enough. You need to be careful. It would be nice if they upgraded to longer hoses so that it didn't matter what side your gas cap was on.”

“I frequent this business several times a week for gas plus breakfast. The morning grill cook is amazing. Best bargain in town at a convenient store plus ingredients are fresh. I have been patronizing this business for over a year and have only seen a few new faces. The staff is always professional and courteous. My only suggestion would be to increase there Milk selection.”

“The two gentlemen working on the day of my visit. Went above and beyond to help me on my trip. If the owner reads this, your employees on 4/1/23 around 11:00 a.m. deserve some form of accolade or bonus.”

“Left Texas heading to Wisconsin, I always try finding a Loves truck stop whenever I’m tired or need to take a break due to them allowing commuters to sleep overnight without harassing them. On top of feeling extremely safe at their locations, they allow me to heat my food in microwaves free of charge. (I always purchase at least a drink as a thank you). Long story short, this location was awesome! Very clean, staff is amazing, had plenty of options for drinks/food and this is why Loves will always be my personal favorite truck stop! Thank you Loves for the experience as always!”

“It's a gas station that sells liquor. It's kind of in the middle of a sparsely populated area in Springfield so it wasn't super busy. The liquor prices seemed to be the same as everywhere else, this just happened to be a stop on the way to my hotel. I'd maybe stay away from the wine, though... a lot of it looked like it had been there for awhile considering the nice coat of dust on the bottles. A man in the parking lot yelled "Hey, you're white" at me... good attempt at small talk? Definitely a good story.”
2201 North Dirksen Pkwy, Springfield IL 62702
“Love this one stop shop! They always have exactly what I'm looking for or expect to get at a gas station or convenience store. Bathroom is always sparkly clean and the staff is super friendly majority of the time, I've been there on overnights and had some that were not the people pleasers or customer service type. Prices are a bit more high here but I'll pay the little bit more in exchange for some good hospitality that serves my needs wants and vices, and allows me to empty my bladder in a clean and private space.”
430 N Grand Ave E, Springfield IL 62702
“We went to the window to ask for what we wanted and the man working over nights was rude said thank I just mopped and now you show up he cussed and and could tell he was complaining about us coming to the window being he was busy mopping”

“Awesome service, easy to spot from the highway!! GPS totally overlooked this place, and it was closer than the other store it was taking me to. The coffee is fresh, and the cashier's smile was warm.... just what I needed on a cold day traveling home.”

“I discovered this location recently. I drink unsweet tea due to diabetes and visit almost daily for the 79 drink special. Sadly, the last 3 times they've not had the regular unsweet tea or any tea in the canisters at the tea bar. I truly hope this isn't an indicator that they will no longer have the tea bar. The attendants are to be commended for their pleasant, helpful efforts. I haven't visited all Circle K's in Springfield but it would be hard to find one I would like better than this one.”
3300 J David Jones Pkwy, Springfield IL 62707

“It was so good I loved the snack selection,ambience,and general atmosphere and the particular reason for this is the simple fact that this place had good employees who had some banger bops to listen to along with a complimentary skittles pack to go for free with my purchase.So yeah it’s the best shell in town.5 STARS”
1101 Adlai Stevenson Dr, Springfield IL 62703
“It's an alright gas station. Fuel prices pretty decent. It's not always super clean outside and you sometimes feel like you better make sure you double check your door locks before you go inside and maybe hold your wallet in your hand just so you can make sure you still have it by the time you get the the register. Leaving the lot can be exciting as they've set up medians on the roadways around it.”

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.
