“This is an upscale gas station and market. They have a kitchen that makes fresh food and pastries. They also have beer and wine if it is after hours and need some in a pinch. If you join their loyalty program you can get 10 cents a gallon off and because I use the store, I typically get 20??”
“Went in at opening today (Saturday) and although they were already busy i was taken right away for oil and inspection. 30 minutes later I was on the road. Very professional people working here. I highly recommend.”
“Clean, friendly employees, convenient location, right off the highway. I was overall very pleased with this Mobil. I always find myself making a quick Mobil stop..& they always have whatever it is, that I came looking for. Thank u! Keep up the great work!”
“I stopped in for the first time to grab a snack on my lunch break and I am so glad I did. The building is extremely clean, the snack options were plentiful and service was tremendous. Larry was so friendly and helpful. Great food and service 10/10 will be back”
“Absolutely love the store. They always have what I need. The employees are friendly. I have used online ordering also. They work really hard and fast to get your order done right. If you use online ordering remember to tip.”
“Walk in to get gas and other goodies and snacks around 6 am 4-27-23 nice clean store service is spot on will come in again and will recommend this spot only con is the price gouging of the gas prices”
“a little tricky maneuvering at this busy shell with half the service area blocked off by the painting detail. (watched the guy repainting light poles right over the dirt, no surface prep--screeeeeeech. like fingernails on a blackboard.) so, long wait time but live entertainment. diesel is 5.99/ here, regular 4.53/, which seems like a good deal. sorta. signs of the times.”
“Always a reliable place for fuel and snacks! The service is friendly, and the convenience store has a great selection. I appreciate the cleanliness and how quickly I can get in and out.”
“I am quite surprised with the amount of dissatisfaction with the Pembroke Stop&Shop.I don't think this specific location deserves five stars, per say; however, they don't deserve an average of 1.5! While Stop&Shop dominates Pembroke in terms of groceries, this is the larger of the two locations in town located in a large shopping center right off Route 3, on Route 139 with several other stores like Dollar Tree, Staples, and Kohl's. It's a large store, and surprisingly the first Super Stop&Shop ever opened by the Stop&Shop company (in 1982). It's not a perfect Stop&Shop (very few are), but in general, it's well stocked, spacious and very large. It spans twenty five aisles, with a full deli, prepared foods, seafood, bakery and pharmacy department. Staff were pretty friendly throughout, and management seems mostly on top of logistical things. Mike, one of the assistant managers I found extremely helpful and friendly in recent days. I will say that one thing that the Pembroke location needs to work on considerably is their pricing. Several items in this store did not ring up at checkout the amount that was listed on their sale sign. The assistant manager, aforementioned, was very helpful and efficient in fixing all the issues, but they shouldn't have happened in the first place. This seems to be a trend with the Stop&Shop's in this area. Most price scanners worked, but when I went here, several signs that have to be placed on these scanners per Massachusetts State Law were missing. In general, it's a nice, newly remodeled, clean store, but my suggestions are to watch at checkout to make sure all items ring in at the correct price. 4 stars for the Pembroke Super Stop&Shop.”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps.

Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus. More locations are planned for Taylor, Warren, and Macomb Township, each employing around 30 people, mostly full-time.
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.
