“With Port Clyde’s store burned down, this is the only mini-grocery store for many miles. The prices reflect that, so fair enough, one is paying for convenience (and I do value the convenience!). The deli sandwiches were quite good, and for the size of the market there’s pretty good variety and selection. Produce section is modest, but looks pretty fresh. Glad the store is there and I hope their business remains in successful.”

“The deli cook "Charlie" I believe his name is...is an awesome AWESOME cook. Makes great pizza, subs and other food there. If you don't see it there's a highly possibility he will get it for you if it's available. Wtg on not burning the pizza!! Food is fresh and doesn't seem to be sitting there all day like the mornings . Oh and Shelby the cashier is so very friendly and NICE!! Some people need to leave there bad attitudes at the door.”

“I just had the best experience at this Nouria. Really busy lunch rush but I was lucky enough to snag the last hot dog on the rollers. The cook happened to pop back to get another pizza at the same time I was over there and was incredibly kind to not only cut some onions for me but to sautée them too! Best gas station hot dog I could have asked for. And the slice of pepperoni I got was exactly as indulgent as they always are. No shame in my love for convenience store pizza, and this place always delivers. The cashier was handling the VERY long line like a pro and getting people through as quickly as humanly possible despite some technology issues and this incessant beep that was seemingly coming from nowhere. I commend the employees here and am glad to have it so close to my home.”

“This is one of the cleanest stations that I've used. I did not hesitate to buy food here . The sandwich was healthy and I had a delicious blueberry muffin. I travel often in my Sprinter van and this was one of the best across the states. Bonus: they have a clean shower facility for a good price and the staff is friendly and helpful.”

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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
