“They normally don't have too long of a wait. Somedays, they have pumps that are closed, but they normally run smoothly. I did have my bank tell me they put a hold of $100 on debit cards if you fill up with one.”
“New management with low gas price, well stocked inventory for chips, drinks, vapes, tobacco, and great car wash ! Very happy with the changes !! My favorite one stop gas station!!”
“It’s a normal gas station. I went late at night so there was next to no one there. It is conveniently located right beside a McDonald’s so good place to stop if you’re looking for gas and food.”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My entire experience was quick, responsive and Amanda was extremely helpful during each part of the process. I had to get two steel entry doors, one with a storm door and one without. I called at 9:30am the day before and had the correct doors delivered the next day. Amanda made sure I got what I needed and was on top of everything. I will 100% return my business here in the future.”
“Not bad or good. Got the job done pumping gas tank to its fullest. Otherwise, it was kind of empty and deserted. I think this gas station might be independently owned or in a questionable neighborhood? When I walked in to purchase a beverage everything was definitely more expensive so I got a water and some small snack’s. The aisles were pretty narrow, cluttered together, and monitored. When I went to pay for my items, the gentleman was sitting down so low behind a plexi glass I didn’t notice him. The whole counter space was covered and he didn’t really speak. I quickly walked out of the store after paying jumped in the car and hit the road.”
“I never post reviews however, I must share my experience. I was referred to the auto repair shop at this Shell Gas Station by a Pillar of the Laurel community. I was extremely impressed with the customer service and the SAME DAY service repairs to my vehicle. I have continued to utilize this repair shop for all of my vehicles; to include a Porsche. I highly recommend this location for car repairs on ANY vehicle. My contact there is Mr. Elmer, who is amazing and presents very fair service prices as well !”
“Got my Safety inspection performed here. It took about 30 minutes and cost $120. Seemed a bit pricy, but I must admit, I did not shop around for better pricing. The shop is connected to the gas station. Do not be over 10 minutes late for your appointment, or you will have to wait until the bay is free again. There is a Dunkin' Donuts next door to pass the time while your car is in the shop.”
“Oh yeah. Shell is always great. It is my first option always. The prices are relatively better than other companies, and they are providing very good services too. It is less complicated and you can also use your Giant bonus card too.”
“The only place I get my gas in Wake Forest, every week. Always clean and easy to pull up to the pumps. Besides good priced gas, it helps me to stay away from snacks which I greatly appreciate lol, lol, lol”
“I do not go to this location often, but every time I do the staff is so courteous and accommodating. NOTE: Watch out for the big pothole at the entrance of the gas station.”
“Was in a rush headed to Cockysville MD & wanted to go to a quality gas station to fill my tank up. The gas pumps are new & nice, pours gas out fast. Nice atmosphere!”
“Samuel was amazing and went above and beyond to help me. I couldn’t find my keys and we looked through the store and then I thought I might have thrown them away accidentally. Samuel helped me look twice and the second time he found them! I was so grateful to him and his willingness to help! Thank you Samuel”
“Mary, Haj Aqeel, and the young gentlemen on the weekends are all really exceptional and always courteous. Ive been going here for the last two years because of the great atmosphere.”
“Count on great prices. Pumps are in good condition, adequate spacing. Big parking lot. I once lost my credit card there and the employees kept it for 25 hours. I retrieved it without incident, simply provided my ID. No snide remarks, snickers or side eyes. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE as usual.”
“There's always interesting merchandising inside this particular Exxon gas station that you wouldn't find in your average Exxon gas station. And I don't know about other people's experiences but the staff is always been respectful and nice to me I hope you get the same experience.”
“This is a great place to get gas, snacks and the restroom is always impeccable. The staff is friendly and the chef cooks a delicious burger. The salads are fresh and wide selection of drinks and snacks.”

“I had a sudden flat tire and was on the way to pick my girls up from school. I went into a panic but they happen to have the tire I needed (low profile), switched it out like Nascar and did it for less than what other similar businesses would have. That was over 4yrs ago and I have now used them for a regular maintenance, unexpected repairs and even an accident in which someone hit me but only my vehicle sustained damage. Family oriented, friendly staff and its near UPS. Amazon, Sandy Spring Rd and highway 95”

Love'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.
