“Easily the greatest Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh in the state of Iowa. Matt, CJ, Austin, Isaiah, and Amanda are like the ‘85 Bears defense with their greatness.”
“I give my thanks to the kind gentleman, I believe his name was TC, for towing my semi back to the terminal. He was professional and quick with the job, wish I could've done more to show my appreciation!”
“They took my order for two boxes of chicken tenders over the phone 10 minutes later I picked them up. They did it the right way 👍 Big thank you to this store location”
“I look forward to coming here almost every morning and seeing Mary. She is always busy doing something, so very polite, helpful, and very welcoming. She is the sweetest lady ever and makes you want to keep coming back!”
“They have a higher quality gas so the fact that it's typically a few cents more per gallon? It lasts longer imo. But this place is very friendly and usually has what you need”
“I went to the Casey's station on State Street in Bettendorf to use my Hy-Vee gas reward card. The attendant wasn't sure how to use it was extremely unhelpful I'm not even sure why he's working there?? So I went across the street to the Shell station. The young gentleman who helped me said there was a few problems with the Hy-Vee reward card ibut he would make sure that I got my rewards and my discount on my gas. He went out of his way to make the problem solved which I greatly appreciated.”
“Heath Auto and Jack Lund are keeping the Lund 66 tradition of good service alive. Great family owned and proud operation. They saved my Honda from the junkyard numerous times.”
“I love it I go there at least twice a week! They have everything you need from candy to even more candy! It’s perfect for an evening snack. Sooooo good definitely recommend!”
“Love this place. They always have a sorts of good snacks and drinks to pick up. Not only that they also have foods to choose from kind of like hot and ready to eat. I always spend a good amount of money. But that's because I always get tons of egg rolls. Chicken sandwiches, BBQ rib sandwiches or pizza or chicken. Plus the staff are very friendly.”
“Super friendly staff. Super clean bathroom and laundromat. Always have their shelves fully stocked. Great fountain soda. As a letter carrier, I’m rather dependent on public places to eat and use the bathroom, and this place is 100% dependable. I’ve bought sandwiches, brownies, chips, candies, beef jerky et cetera and none of it was opened when I bought it. If it had been, I wouldn’t have bought it? Weird….. Furthermore, if I did happen to buy food that was already open, I doubt I’d be able to tell if it had been licked, lmao.”
“I've driven by this BP innumerable times. Well, I could probably estimate the total times, as it's a long one potential route to work. I needed a soda after work tonight and felt the need to visit this BP to accomplish the slaking of my thirst.It's definitely a BP, that much is for certain. The pumps on the outside all look relatively new and working - nobody seemed to be having issues when I stopped through. The interior looks a little less new - the flooring and ceiling are both clean but a bit worn, the coolers and fixtures don't appear to have been new as of at least 20 years. Regardless, everything looked clean and functional. All of the trappings of a gas station convenience store were here - beer, snacks, soda, coffee - yep, all there.I selected a few diet orange Squirt sodas and proceeded to pay at the front. The clerk was nice enough and got me through the transaction quickly. Aiding matters was the presence of working Google Pay. I'm still happy and amazed when places have this as an option (though admittedly, almost everyone has it now).I'd stop by here again to or from work. It's not the most convenient place to stop on the way to work (requires a left turn off the highway) but the place definitely works for my needs. Thanks BP!”
“Always greeted with a friendly meaningful hello and chit chat.Today was great as usualI made my purchase. Left. Realized I forgot something. Going back in. I locked my keys inside my vehicle.(Of course my phone too)I went back inside to see if there was anyway I could use her phone. She said yes. She helped me with that whole process and let me know they were on way.Thank you so much Emily. You made it better for my mistake.”
“FRESH coffee! Coffee like you have never had before.... Freshly ground and brewed.... My 1st stop every morning... For coffee and donut... Pick up sandwich, and chips for lunch... New building, clean, and always friendly...”
“By far one of the cleanest gas stations I have very been too the prices was very reasonable and affordable and I love the kindness of the employees and workers hard workers and very understandable the deals were fantastic and the people were very kind. At this point I have no complaints. Happy holidays.”
“I remember back when this gas station used to be an Amoco. It's long since become a BP. I recently stopped by this location to get a drink at the Q C Mart.I didn't need to pump gas at this location, but it seemed like everything was clean and working. The location is conveniently located on the corner of 18th Street and Spruce Hills Drive, such that the pumps are accessible from either street. You can also pull out onto either street when finished fueling, as well.If I couldn't make it to a Costco Gas Station, I'd be okay with stopping here for gas in the future. If you are driving by here and need gas, I recommend this location if you like BP. Thanks, BP!”
“Friendly service and clean store. I just read some of the recent reviews and have never experienced anything that they mentioned. The staff always welcomes me and chats for a minute at the check out”
“Need a bad service do you like seriously I'm not going there anymore I'm not I'm not eating anymore I'm not I'm also not going to the bathroom there anymore I”
“Wonderful people, always smiling and telling stories or, inquiring about life. When choosing to leave be sure to turn right.Generally easy in and out.Also, they close at 10pm”
“QC Mart on State Street has been my quick stop just over a one and a half years. The store is always clean, shelves are stocked, and the staff is friendly — they usually have me checked out before I even finish grabbing a drink. Gas prices are competitive with the other stations nearby, and their coffee and fountain drinks are solid. I also like that they keep the lot well-lit and plowed in winter, which makes late-night stops feel safe. Only reason I’m knocking a star is the ATM fee. It’s a couple bucks higher than what I’ve seen at Kwik Star or Hy-Vee, so if I need cash I try to plan ahead. Not a huge deal if you’re just grabbing gas or snacks, but worth mentioning. Overall it’s a reliable, no-hassle convenience store and I’ll keep coming back.”
“lost a star because the app lost my order. Gained it back when I called. When I called to check the status they couldn't see it. When I asked to place an order, the gentleman on the phone said it would be 2 hours. Since I pre-ordered the pizza to be there when the sitter was there and we were already gone I felt the frustration of the situation and responded to him with an expletive. Not towards him, just a general one put into the universe. He responded kindly understanding my frustration and kept his professionalism. top notch lad.”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades.

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps.

The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus.

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.
