“Amoco is a convenient stop for fuel and essentials. While it serves its purpose well, cleanliness could be improved. The station tends to be busy, often bustling with customers. Despite the crowds, Amoco remains a reliable choice for a quick pit stop.”

“This might be the friendliest convenience store in the state. The prices run a bit on the high side but it's a good distance to your next option. Stop in and try out their great ice cream in the summer, it just doesn't get any better than theirs.”

“I am so extremely pleased with the service work I had done here. Rick called to lmk what needed done prior to working on it and did not magically come up with a ton of other things wrong. Because of this I will also continue buying all my fuel here! Honest, fair priced, and professional.”

“Staff if friendly, bathrooms are a little broke down but otherwise functional, store is clean. And if you’re looking for a “SNACK” for your 3 year old, these little teeny tiny baby chicken strips they have in the hot food section are adorable, but expensive!”

“Pretty empty the few times I've been here, interior is clean, staff friendly. Bathrooms a little dirty but what do you expect right of the highway I suppose. Would reccomend if you prefer BP.”

“10/12/20I rather enjoyed stopping at this gas station while passing through Iowa. While getting gas at night I wasn't sure what type of area I was in and didn't know what to expect. So while filling the tank... I decided to grab myself a few sports drinks for the long ride ahead and was surprised to be greeted by a very cute and interesting blonde cashier woman... who's care for customers was beyond my expectations... as I... didn't know what to expect. I also enjoyed that everything at this gas station was outside and I didn't have to deal with Covid Mask... Anything. The only thing I can say I didn't enjoy about this customer experience... is that this woman's name... was not printed on the gas receipt... and I lost the one from the register by fault of my own when returning the vehicle I was driving. I wonder if she still works there? As I would of liked to get to know her better... but all places much like travel stops one passes though in life... Its always different the second time you get a chance to come around... And nothing stays the same... Will You?... Murphy USA?”

“Great corner store. Just like a 711. Except the one big difference is that their pizza at Casey's is delicious! A little on the spendy side compared to dominos or something but really quite good.”
3104 1st Ave E, Newton IA 50208
“It's a small store on the edge of town, and like other Casey's locations, it covers all the basics. It's a little small, but it's a clean store. Plenty of delicious pizza is available by the slice or by the pie. Free air is available.”

“Sharon Albertson & Jason Swan were more than amazing to us. We broke down in the lot. We were there for 2 days. Its a small town and its was Friday so we ran into every problem of trying to get help. These 2 were so wonderful to us, Jason even brought us 45 mins away late Saturday to get a part from Autozone after he had already been at work all day, Sharon called her husband for a car scanner, gave me her number said call we arent far! We wouldn't of made it without them! You two showed us there truly are some good people out there! *this story is shortened they deserve way more applause* Greatly appreciated! You both deserve recognition! Thank you again, so very much! We will make sure to stop back and see you!”

“EVERY TIME I STOP HERE FOR GAS AT NIGHT/EARLY MORNING THERE ARE HOMELESS TWEEKERS HANGING OUT AROUND THE BUILDING THIS MAKES ME FEEL QUITE UNSAFE AND I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THIS CASEYS DOES NOTHING TO KEEP THEM AWAY.. EDIT: I haven't seen anyone loitering in a couple weeks now so I will change my star rating from one star. It actually feels safer out here at night.”

Read the postLove'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.
