“I love my fuel points if you are always spending money on food trying to save a penny or 2 then you should get the Kroger app n then you can get points for shopping @ Kroger it's a win win ykwim”
“I buy a lot of diesel fuel and this place has the best price in 30 miles. My wife buys most of our groceries at Kroger thus i get about a $1.25 discount per gallon on diesel below their low price.”
“I go here quite often!! There's always plenty of people to wait on you, so the lines don't get too long, and they are super nice. The food is good and fresh. I generally get their pizza or tenders. Every staff is always super nice!!”
“I stop in every morning before work . The staff is always so friendly and welcoming , and working hard. I have made this Franklin Speedway my daily stop and am so grateful . I have saved so much money and earn free items and fuel points !! The ladies that work mornings are very kind , and will always put a smile on your face . You all are AMAZING!! ?”
“They had some cute things & I had bought me the cutest pink/bling/ boss lady hat. Just cuz I felt I was a boss yesterday lol ??good customer service and very friendly their”
“They have more then your average selection of items. They have sandwiches made in the store. They have a microwave for any frozen food. You can get gas, lottery tickets, ice, etc. Great little store and conveniently located.”
“This is my Go-to gas station. People here are extremely nice and have a smile always. I went in once asking for bananas, the woman informed me they were out, I turned to leave and she called me back and gave me a banana from her purse free of charge. Very good people and low gas prices ❤️”
“Pumps worked. The app seems functional. Cheap gas that was awesome. Right there in the walmart parking lot so it’s super convenient. They had water softener pellets here too so that was cool. If you want a no nonsense fill up with pumps that work in Franklin this is your spot”
“I love rickers. The rewards are a nice bonus. The store is always clean and well stocked. Their coffee is the best gas station coffee I have ever had. My son loves to get a powerade slush. The bathrooms are also clean!”
“What a transformation! It's great to see the improvements under the new management as this gas station is now spectacularly clean, inside and out. The bathrooms are well-maintained and the pumps are always tidy. The new management has clearly prioritized a high level of professionalism. The attendant (SAM) is really helpful and the service is quick and efficient encourages return visit. Keep up the great work! Highly recommended.”
“Been going there for 10 years pull in pump 9 that's the best pump. Very clean building modern compared to the old building chicken is great ??. Or Go to circle k where all the drama happens. Marathon ??”
“Love the staff treats me like family and whenever you accidentally a dollar short or a few cents off that you thought you had they sometimes spot the rest, I’m sure that’s a thing they do for regulars but nonetheless great people”
“Its one of my choice stores. I stop for gas, cigs, snacks and drinks all the time. Usually in and out in just a minute or two depending. It's on a main strip in town so good for people who aren't from the area.”
“Almost everyone there is extremely friendly and very helpful and there a lot, they can't help the pop machines but someone needs to replace them as new ones instead of just repairing since they make as much money as most companies do I'm sure they have insurance and could afford it”
“I like this one pretty good but the prices aren’t right on certain items. Like today Nabisco cookies were 2 for $4 but at the register they rang up $2.79 - $0.54 which is 54 cents off when it should be $0.79 cents off.”
“Admiral is an older station that has prime real estate on Main Street right off Franklin's town square. There are only 4 pumps, so it was easy to maneuver in once I spotted their very competitive gas prices. I appreciate not having to dodge people at the larger stations. That being said, it had been a hot minute since I'd had to go through so many steps (enter zip, flip the nozzle up, etc.) to get gas. The pumps were a few years behind, but well worth the price. As I topped off, I couldn't help but notice a senior in front of me having difficulty, so I walked over and asked if I could assist him. He said his card wasn't being read, when in fact, he was having a hard time reading the digital lettering that danced by requesting his zip code. I'm glad I was there to help, because it didn't seem as if anyone inside noticed and the lettering was tricky to read as bright as it was. Nevertheless, nothing could kill my joy on this beautiful sunny Spring day, and having done a good deed made it seem even better!”
“I go here few times a week. All the people who works are super nice and friendly. My kids and family always wanna go here because soda there taste what it should taste like. I use to go to Circle K and Casey's and for some reason it tasted more watery. Where here i asked the manager he said that they calibrate soda fountain machine every two weeks. That is the reason it taste the same and what it should taste like. One of the other reason we like to come in is bathrooms are always clean in here. And also I found out that the owner are local. So our family always support businesses which are owned by local people.”
“No longer a marathon. It is now under the name Shell. Same owner and the inside looks the same. Same woman, Just has different makeup. Used to have a car wash but it no longer is in service. I painted it years ago for them and they just never opened the wash back up. Not a big selection of things but they have the Necessities that you would need from a gas station. They used to let people use the public restroom but I'm not sure if it's even available for use now.”
“They have the cleanest gasoline my car always run good on this gas always get good MPG and the store and restroom are always clean and the clerk is always nice and respectful”
“Had an awesome experience here. Had an employee help me out with a few dollars gas money . Went back to pay her back and she wouldn't take the money !! Thanks !!”
“I have literally been going to this gas station since I was 7 years old. I've never had an issue with staff, items, or anything else for that matter. Employees are usually friendly with awesome personalities and know their jobs well.”
“Went in last night and the gas station was very clean, probably the cleanest gas station I’ve been to, tidy, employees were very kind and friendly, specifically the taller employee with long hair, very helpful and lovely to talk to as well as the older gentleman. It was very nice experience overall”
“It's one of the greatest stores around you get anything from perfume to your cigarettes to food etc everything is good for us cheaper than most convenience stores around I love this place ❣️”
“Always have a little bit of everything to choose from. It's a gas station so don't go in like it's a supermarket lol. They have what you need for fast stops to get you going on the road again whether it's gas, coffee...both?”
“It has been 4 days now plz I am begging you get your ice machine fixed, I come in 4 times a day to get the soft ice and it has been 4 days no ice plz get your ice machine fixed... Update on this review, thank you circle k for getting your ice machine fixed, I love this gas station and the people who work here, but the main reason I come here so often is the ice...”

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.
