“Cons: -sometimes the price of gas is broken and not displayed on the sign when driving past, for weeks at a time -one of the most hood corners in all of CU, so if you don’t have street smarts might want to pick a dif gas station Pros: -big trash cans at pumps to throw away trash (which is nice considering the CVS across the street got rid of their outdoor trash can) -the overhead gas station lights at night are super well lit up which is nice if you’re stopped there at night and need to see inside your car etc”

“Ok, guys, this automatic car wash is very close to my work so I decided to try. There are $7,$11,$14 and $16 options, I chose the cheapest one. Budget wash. After signal "enter the bay" I drove into it and ... nothing happened. The machine didn't react on my car. Robowash doesn't communicate to you really, you basically don't understand what to do and just try to follow "stop" and "drive" signals but it is not very helpful. I requested a human assistance and gas station lady helped me to trigger the whole process. Here is the thing: YOUR WHEEL MUST STAY EXACTLY AT THE METAL PLATE to initiate wash. 5 mins of washing show and you are ready to go. Overall my car wasn't quite clean (dust and bird marks) and wasn't quite dry. See the pictures. I give 4 stars , not 3, only because rainbow unicorn soap ?? got right to my heart and because, probably, I shouldn't have expected good results from the cheapest wash. Conclusion: 1)if you want well cleaned car do it by yourself , 2) don't expect too much from budget service. I will try $11 next time.”

“I go here frequently and can't say I've ever had bad service. Gas prices are low for the area and competitive. They have a fair selection of items inside to eat and drink as well. The restrooms have always been clean when I have needed to use them. Keep up the good work Meijer Gas Station Staff!!! You do great!”

508 S Vine St, Urbana IL 61801
“Overall this is my favorite gas station. However just read the expiration dates on the alcohol. I bought the Minute Maid spiked lime margarita and I’m almost sure that it was expired. It had a weird taste to it and made my stomach hurt. That’s when I realized it might be expired. Unless that’s the distribution date I’m positive they are selling expired liquor.”
1809 N Cunningham Ave, Urbana IL 61802
“It's where I normally stop for gas or a drink and snacks. The only thing that's changed is the self checkout and it takes some getting used to. Employees are usually friendly and helpful”

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.
