“This is my favorite gas station of all time. They have the best pizza, serve wicked Joe coffee and have the friendliest staff. You will never see another place that cares about your individual liberties and fights for you to keep those rights when the government over reaches itself to limit you.”

“I was a bit reluctant to try Charleen's in Richmond due to the fact that you have to go into the store to pay for gas. I'll be honest, I like to go to self-serve, pay at the pump and get out. Here you do need to go into the store but they make it as efficient as possible. They are so busy that they have you pump your gas then move your car ahead before going into the store to pay. They ask that you let them know how much you owe them when you get into the store. This allows others to pump their gas. It is a Fabian gas station. During the increase in gas prices recently, Charleen's prices were ALWAYS lower than anywhere around. The prices were not just a little but a lot (30-50 cents a gallon) lower. They want to give the savings back to the community. There were times when the gas was $4.50 gallon at other stations and I don't think it ever went over $3.90 here. Let me tell you, the owners are awesome. They are friendly and inviting. They love dogs and are fine if you want to bring them into the store. They offer a variety of sundry items, beer, milk and even local baked goods.It is hard to rave about a gas station but if I am going to, it is absolutely going to be about Charleen's. This store/gas station and the people who own it are the best!”

“There are 4 dining options available, including Burger King, Duckin, and Popeyes, although Popeyes was closed during our visit.(The 4th is the gas station.) On the opposite side of the area, there is a gas station along with smaller retail stores resembling a convenience store. During our visit, the location was not busy at all. The interior was clean, well-lit, and quite pleasant. The women's restroom was spacious, featuring numerous stalls, and it was also very clean with no unpleasant odors. The employees were also very nice at all stores. The employees were also very nice in all areas!”

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.
