“I've been visiting this Speedway every other day for the past month and a half to get diesel for machines on a nearby construction project. The built-in White Castle is a great bonus—I've visited once, and it was very nice. The on-site car wash is also very convenient and fun. I've never had any issues with any part of the property, from the store to the amenities. Highly recommend this location!”

“The employees are friendly and helpful. Pizza smelled really good but, for first experience, I bought two single slices of supreme. Sadly, It was not as expected. Very bland and cheese stuck to the bag. (I don't think this is because the employees failed at making it.) I think it was just the way the cheese taste. The second time I bought food at Family Express, I just grabbed some bread sticks with marinara. Which were okay. They also have fresh sandwiches and other to- go items I'll try next time. Still giving it 4 stars because it is clean inside, and the employee are friendly.”

“Was checking out and noticed the man next to me was using a cane and needed more time to walk. The man at the cashier had another person help me so he could run around and open the door for the man and walk him to his car. He was overly kind and happy to do it and the man appreciated it. Young man had tattoos on his face and deserves a token of appreciation for being a good employee!”

“I normally pass through Luke’s Car Wash in Valparaiso whenever I need a quick clean, but my most recent visit stood out thanks to one attendant who truly elevated the experience. While I can’t speak to the overall consistency of the place, this time I encountered someone who genuinely cared about the small things—and it made all the difference. From the moment I pulled in, the attendant greeted me warmly and wasn’t in a rush. Before guiding me into the wash, they carefully inspected the car’s exterior—checking for mud clumps in wheel wells, drying streaks, and even sneaky bits of grit. After the wash, they hand-wiped the mirrors and door frames, making sure no soap residue remained. They even applied extra attention to spots that cars often miss, like the lower rocker panels and the seams between body panels. It’s rare to see someone at a chain wash take this kind of care. Their thoughtful, methodical approach did a fantastic job—my car looked genuinely clean, not just “good enough.” I appreciate how detail-oriented they were, and it’s the kind of service I wish more places offered. I’ll definitely be looking for that same caliber of attentiveness next time I stop by.”

“So I was just there buying eye liner cuz I ran out. This lady that works there, who’s name is Elaine approached me asking if I needed help finding everything; and I did! She told me about a coupon I could use and it saved me $5!!!!! She’s always been so nice! My Mom has told me about her a few times and how nice she is! I’m putting this review in because I think her sweet personality and good customer service needs to be recognized!”

“Had my Covid & Flu shot administered at the CVS location. The person who administered the vaccines, Jordan, was so friendly and personable. My visit was painless and extremely rewarding, due to Jordan's efficiency, good nature and geniality. Jordan should be commended for being such a valuable CVS employee.”

“I wasn't sure where to leave my review, but to whoever the shine associate is at the Lowell Indiana E Commercial Ave. location; The store looks great, the pumps are always clean, and the bathroom was so clean and well maintained! I stop here regularly and have never had a complaint about the cleanliness. Headquarters, please make sure this person knows that their work is genuinely appreciated!”
