“Yesway is my go to "convenient store" / gas station! With the Yesway rewards I was able to get atleast 12 items for 50 cents. Because I only had to pay bottle deposit on a couple items. I've had atleast .10 cents off gas a few times already from the little shopping I have done. Plus Yesway usually has any drinks, snacks, plus more that I could need when going in to the gas station or a quick trip! If you aren't already a yesway rewards member you DEFINITELY need to get on it. Your missing out otherwise. I have almost 30 smiles which can be redeemed for free stuff in store!! Bathroom is always in working order, very very clean place. The staff is literally so nice! Very friendly establishment. Not usually very busy, except late mornings/early afternoonish.”

“Nice n clean fountain pop area. Bacon cheeseburger was delicious, just needed to be cooked a little longer(too pink/raw).. definitely not worth the $8 price they charge. And seriously $4 for a tiny 1/2 pint cup of watermelon and pineapple chunks. Lower your prices Biden is gone!!”

“It's a nice gas station—it's pretty clean here, well, except for the restrooms 🤪 The shopping area is great 👍🏼 Everything’s in order, the shelves are stocked with a wide variety of goods—there are delicious sauces and a variety of drinks, plus plenty of hot baked goods: burgers, cheeseburgers, apple and cherry pastries, strudels, and potato sticks 🥹 The staff is pretty friendly, but the girl could’ve at least smiled 😏 They also have vodka—real Russian Smirnov vodka—but I’m not 100% sure 🤠 There’s also parking for five or six trucks, and as long as no woodpecker drives up here and revs their engine all night, the night will go great 😌 I’d love to stop by here again for some delicious food!”

“Good place to get energy drinks in the am. The gentleman working in the am and the blonde chick working into the later evening both have excellent custumer service, everyone else working evening, not so much”

“Good decent gas station no warm food if your looking but small and convenient and open all night . The employees are all.nice and helpful only complain I have and where its only 1 its a huge one... this male employee he always stinks so bad I walked in the other day and I thought as if I could throw up in my mouth it was so bad! Smelled it when I walked in and even to the back by the milk and pop products, I was so glad to get out of there and I just went there again just tonight maybe 5 minutes ago and he was working again and instantly the same exact hygiene problem.. I think management should have a talk with him about hygiene pronto.”

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.
