“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.”
“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?”
“You can tell it is one of those well maintained stores as soon as you walk in! Great collection of drinks, snacks and food. Employees were very welcoming! It is also connected to a Subway and a Biggby cafe- would highly recommend stopping by at the gas station since it’s basically a one stop shop for anything you may need on the go!”

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.
