“The most incredible owners!! We got stranded with no gas with the power outage that happened County wide, and they have been so gracious. They brought my four kids drinks and chips and let us use the bathroom. It is so clean inside and well-maintained! I’m so grateful. Everyone come and support this family owned business!”
“Has a difficult time finding a real circle k even when I googled it it shows locations near me I had to drive out of my way to use a gift card that I was given...”
“I want to write a positive and glowing review for a hardworking employee by the name of Chris at the Speedway in Schererville, store 7120. I workout late at night and occasionally grab gas at this location since it’s convenient and on the way to my gym. Every time I visit, I always see Chris using his time productively, sweeping the inside and outside of the store, mopping the floors, taking out the garbage, etc. The Speedway store 7120 appearance is always nice and clean when Chris is working. Most Speedway employees are just there doing the bare minimum or slacking off on their phones, not even welcoming guests, but Chris not only works hard, but he is always friendly and welcomes the guests when he’s working. I don’t write reviews and felt compelled to write one to acknowledge a good worker in Chris when I see it. Reliable and hard workers often get overlooked, so I hope upper management sees the value in Chris and realizes what an asset he is to the company.”
“It's so difficult to to review a Speedway I spend so much time there. I'm there every day at least two or three of them. Sometimes are good sometimes they're bad people are sometimes friendly and then there's Whitcomb the one nice girl that work there well I think she got promoted to another store but I can't find her so I guess that's that they have gas sometimes they have coffee all the time but every now and then you can get cream enjoy”
“Come here daily for a drink while i’m at work, Milo at the register is always in a great mood, happy to see me, and pleasant to talk to, i look forward to seeing him when i come in, please give that man a raise and show him some recognition, he deserves all of it”
“This is one of the gas stations hubby goes to. There was a post on the "NextDoor" app that they have deceptive practices by choosing one type of gas at the pump but charging you more (for higher octane) once your receipt prints. Well, we wanted to test it out and this was not the case at all. We paid exactly what the pump stated. This is why you can't always believe everything that you read. Maybe there was a mishap with that particular customer but we did not have an issue and will continue to patronize this location!”

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.
