“I had a pleasant stop at this Casey's. The employee working was very friendly, made great conversation, and was genuinely enjoyable to talk with. Customer service like that always makes a difference. There were a few minor issues, though. Some of the drinks didn't appear to be stocked correctly, making it a little harder to find what I was looking for. Also, the fuel options were limited to regular gasoline and diesel. Other than that, the store was clean and the overall experience was positive. I'd stop here again.”

“Great layout. Plenty of room to run around after hours of traveling on the road. The restrooms were very clean! There was a great selection of products, and good coffee. There is even a couple tables out by the grass to sit down and eat. The perfect pit stop!”

“This is right next to a good car wash. It makes it easy to fill up the tank, and jet across the street to wash your car. I've never been inside this place, but their pumps are clean outside and, while this place does get a lot of traffic, I haven't had to wait for anyone to pump gas.”

“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”

“I'm a huge fan of genuine convenience stores and as one thing I've learned traveling is that central Illinois is in a dead zone for true convenience stores, yes I know about Casey's, Haymakers blows everyone else out of the water”

“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.”

“There was a female employee with colored hair who was tall enough to reach ALL the cigarettes on the shelf. It was kinda intimidating to be honest. 10/10 would not recommend if you’re a short king. Stay classy circle k.”
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.”
2315 W Springfield Ave, Champaign IL 61821
“I'm giving four stars because the line for people using cards can have one person but they take care of the people with cash faster even though they be having nine or more customers other then that they are clean and nice employees and usually are respectful .”

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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
