“I was in need of emergency car help and was 2 and a half hour from home. The mechanic was closed but he came back to help us. He even got the parts store to re open to fix my car. Thanks for everything”
“My go-to for Diesel. Ram 2500...10 micron Filter on the fuel hose...I have Never had a problem with MFA Oil Petro Card 24's...All over Missouri and here in Bloomfield. Wish there were more around this area.”
“My son and I had chicken , apples , shrimp , Mac and cheese potato's and gravy and some fish . I was pleasantly surprised on it all , very good ! Will defiantly be eating here again ! And like always wonderful staff !”
“I never thought my financial advisor and my 18-month-old son would share the same favorite app, but here we are. This isn't just a gas station; its a high-end pizzeria and sugar coma wrapped into one neon-lit oasis. The Daily Scratch-Off: My morning routine now involves aggressively rubbing my phone screen like a maniac just to win extra reward points or free stuff. It provides all the thrilling adrenaline of Las Vegas gambling, but with zero financial ruin and discounts. Free Freeze Friday: This is a sacred, unmovable holiday in our household. My toddler can barely speak, but he knows how to count down the days until Friday. If we don’t get our frozen sugar fix by 5:00 PM, he stages a full-blown mutiny. The rewards program is basically funding my child's happiness. The Pizza Paradox: It completely violates the laws of physics and culinary science for gas station pizza to taste this scrumptious. I don't know what kind of black magic they are baking into that crust, but it hits harder than a five-star Italian restaurant at 2:00 AM. The Atmosphere: The store is always clean so you could probably eat that delicious pizza right off the floor (though the friendly staff would rightfully look at you funny). The employees are genuine and have that 'Iowa nice' stereotype down so well that I actually forget I am actively watching my bank account drain into my gas tank. Being a rewards member here actually pays off. Come for the gas, stay for the digital gambling, leave with a toddler covered in blue raspberry syrup and a mouth full of pepperoni. 10/10 Special mention: when Rebekah is working the vibes are so positive. She is the model of a star employee. Keep up the great work!”

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. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. 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.

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.
