“Nice little fuel stop and convenience store on K-18 in Lucas and great Hunt Brothers Puzza. The K-18 cafe is just next door and is a good place to eat also. They still make chicken fried steak the old fashioned way, hand breaded and cooked on the flat iron grill not french fried.”

“Absolutely excelllent customer service and always leave satisfied!!!! I love the friendly smalll town country style service that is always delivered with a nice, warm, welcoming smile and my vehicle gets it's top gas mileage and always runs smooth ONLY when I buy my fuel at Home Oil!!!! Which makes me extremely happy and brings a cheery smile to my face and brightens up my day anytime!!!! If I buy my fuel at any other Convention store around Sylvan Grove I can count on gettin less gas mileage and that my vehicle isn't gonna run smooth at alll on top of it. Bad News Bears for me and my vehicle's maintenance and quality of performance guaranteed ?. It's like having a Bad Hair Day for me!!!!???? I just wanna give a holler out to Colleen at Home Oil who's one of the most friendliest people there at the store and who always makes my day bcuz she's sooo very welcoming and she always makes me feel sooo comfortable around her bcuz she chats with me on a personal level and makes me feel just like I'm one of her very good friends every single time I go in the to buy something from their store. And sometimes u just don't get that kinda treatment from an owner of a business. Nowadays, most business.owners tend to think that since their the owners their exempt from or that there's no need for that same quality of customer service, performance and satisfaction expected and desired to be delivered by their employees and that it is desired by their customers to be met by the owners utmost more importantly for me. It just goes to show u just how honestly and sincerely they truly are about making a difference in ur community and keeping the small town businesses thriving and ur hometowns alive and growing, providing u with smalll town business convenience and providing smalll hometowns with local employment opportunities and to keep u buying locally in ur very own smalll hometowns and communities. And this is absolutely awesome to me!!!! And another great thing about them at Home Oil is that they've got very competitive prices and I've actually been able to take advantage of some of their competitive prices!!!! I just need to install an app or something in my phone somehow or more like my brain that if u buy gas with cash u get it for the actual cash price instead of me always carrying only my debit card and getting charged a convenience fee for using my card when I could've just brought cash with me and paid with it and saved myself that conversation fee everytime!!! Bcuz it's gonna add up over time after time and again......BOOM!!! As much as I go there to buy my stuff it's gonna add up real quicklike......I'm a DEFINITE WITHOUT A DOUBT, REPEAT CUSTOMER 4SHO!!!! THANKS SOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH, COLLEEN, UR HUSBAND AND ALL OF UR EMPLOYEES TOO!!!!?❤?”

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.

"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.
