“Today was the first time i tasted the rice and its truly amazing, the staff was super nice, i didnt have change on me and the manager gave me a free coke, great experience and i loved the food.”
“I have been going to this location for years. It offers great semi-truck parking, and snack selection. Also beer and liquor, if you're not driving. They have great customer service and decent restrooms. ??♂️”
“Damn good service, lovely gas station attendants. Bathrooms are super clean along with inside store. Never a poor service or interaction from these awesome employees. Can not recommend enough.”
“Over the past two years once the new management has taken over the place has improved alot. Shelves are stock, gas pumps are fast and the service inside is also amazing.”
“I’ve been working in this gas station for a while now, really like the neighborhood and friendly environment. They changed things around, new wooden shelves. The gaming machines and gas pumps are finally open! Many options of liquor as well. Really impressed.”
“The cashier at Zion Illinois 7-11 on Sheridan Rd is a wonder person. He is very kind and friendly person. In fact, every one I encountered here has been super. I would absolutely recommend this store to anyone without any hesitation. Highly recommended..... If I could give 10 Stars I would”
“I arrived at AM.2:34:25s. As I walked through the parking lot I noticed the door which I opened then I walked inside the bp station. The attendant assisted me by selling me a product. After paying I exited the building and proceeded to enjoy said product. ( product not identified intentionally) The overall experience was satisfying.”
“There is more to it than meets the eye,is 25.00 parking fee,but it becomes free if one buys 30.00 at the store,shop,or kitchen,all combined 30.00 and parking becomes free. It takes big money to run such a huge place,I personally don t mind it,I bought a long john,a measuring tape,coffe and a togo sandwich,a bit above the $30.00, these are things I needed anyway,we have to look at it from the bussines POV,and what s wrong with wanting to make a bit of a profit? WalMart does it and they are not as nice to us as this TA was to me. I will continue stopping here,and I hope more drivers do,a lot of drivers complain and compare TS prices to WalMart's,again WalMart most of the stores don t even want us in their property,truckstops DO,why not spend 20 or 30? if it keeps them open,I will. Look at the many truck stops in disrepair,going out of bussines and offering free parking,and most drivers use the bathroom,parking and don t spend a dime,those are the places that go out of bussines. T/A you do what you think is best,I will continue stopp8ng there. THANK YOU for being there when i ve needed you,oil changes,a flat or new tire,a truck fix/repair. Thank you,thank you,thank you !!! One thing thou,more food choices are needed.”
“Hate paying for semi spots,when semis are they only one bringing goods. But if you have to pay it helps that the stop is clean lots of parking,uncramped. TV room,laundry,showers and hot box items. Wish they had resteraunt open.”

Love'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.
