“*First thought: _“Just need gas and a coffee.”*_ *Then I walk into Kwik Star and it’s like the whole place says _“we got you.”*_ *Clean bathrooms. _Actually_ clean. Lamentations 3:22-23 _mercies new every morning_ — and every pit stop.* *Coffee bar that doesn’t judge you for the 3rd refill. Proverbs 31:15 _she rises while it is yet night_ — Kwik Star’s already open.* *Hot food that’s _hot_. Breakfast pizza, roller grill, fresh sandwiches — Matthew 25:35 _“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.”*_ *Grab-and-go salads and fruit for when you’re 1 Timothy 4:8 _training for godliness_ and not just donuts.* *And the staff? Kind. Fast. Real. Romans 12:10 _honor one another above yourselves_ — they live it.* *Came for gas. Left with dignity, caffeine, and the feeling that somebody thought ahead for busy moms, road warriors, and Proverbs 31 women who _consider_ their field but still need snacks.* *Prices are fair. Store is bright. It’s Hebrews 10:24 _“spur one another on toward love and good deeds”_ — even at the pump.* *Kwik Star isn’t just a gas station. It’s a _rest stop for the soul_.* *5 stars. I go in empty. I come out Isaiah 58:11 _satisfied_.* 🍀👻”

“This is my go to spot after work. I like walking in and see that Jennifer is at the register. She is always smiling and although I talk her ear off she’s nice to talk to. Every time I don’t see what I want on the hotspot, she’s always on top of making sure they get it started for me. One time I didn’t have enough for gas and I was panicking but she pulled out her card and covered me.. we need more people like her. She’s truly a rockstar!”

“I went to hyvee gas station on bowling st sw today. They had a special on gas from 10-4pm 2.75 and I had 1.75 fuel saver!Anyways they were packed each pump was occupied. I walked in the store to see one employee working ! I asked her , I can't believe on a special like this they don't have at least two people working!? She said there's supposed to be, but other person didn't show!This poor girl did a fabulous job!! I wish I knew her name cause she deserves so much credit ! I have a question though ? Wth would manager leave her alone on a busy day like this ? Wouldn't you think if someone didn't show, then manager would have to step up and fill in especially when it's so busy that every pump at gas station is being used. This teenager who was working was probably only 16 ,17 years old and I just wanr to say , her job skills are great! She so deserves a great job today!! I hope you will see this review cause you so deserve it young lady! You were doing a fabulous job maintaining all alone .”

The place is very clean and typically don't have to wait too long for anything like standing in line to pay, bathroom lines, for, has pumps etc. They'll make hot food you're wanting if they do not have it sitting out already. If you just ask them they're on it which only takes a couple mins of your time!”

“We stopped to get gas and an employee who had been working on a gas pump , walked in front of usunscrewing the lid of a container, and poured out soda that made a huge puddle in the middle of the driveway. Cars driving through will splash sticky soda, children will get sticky shoes, and it absolutely looks awful. The person even turned around to look at it! Guilt? I hope so. Does not reflect consideration for customers who pay their salary! Disgusting.”

“Hy-Vee is somewhat a staple for groceries and more. My dad introduced me their wonderful fresh breaded tenderloins. I don't normally find grocers to be the best choice for hot food, but not so with Hy-Vee. Their tenderloin did not disappoint. Plus, the one in Marion, IA carries cheesecake from the shop just down the road. An absolute delight. I recommend highly both. Additionally, all employees I interacted with were very nice and friendly.”

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.
