“I mean who doesn't want to be a kid again? Stopping here for half an hour can transport you back to childhood in a good way. A Gumby doll and a Whoopi cushion washed down with an old fashioned sweet treat is a great way to start the weekend or chase a rainy beach day away!!”

“Found this place on Pinterest and I'm so glad I did! This place was probably the highlight of my trip to MV. Monday through Saturday 5-6 you MUST try their "buck a shuck" oysters. I've never had oysters this delicious, ever. Get there a little before 5 so you get a seat at the bar, as this deal is promoted for at the bar only. The first time we went we weren't aware how limited the bar seats were, thankfully they were accommodating enough to let us sit at a high top right next to the bar and get the oyster deal. They were so good that we ordered 4 dozen between the 4 of us! Beautiful ambience, nice water view. And they sell cute little trinkets, fairly over priced but cute nonetheless. Definitely will be back for oysters and dinner!”

“Bogdan at Jim's Package Store was recommended to me for the rehearsal dinner and welcome party for my son's wedding in September. I had to bring all the liquor, mixers, and garnishes in and had no idea how to calculate the amounts for the 2 events. Bogdan asked me a few questions about the size and makeup of the guest list and provided me with a spreadsheet detailing everything I might need for the evening. He was 100% spot-on about the variety and amounts I needed, and even calculated the appropriate amount of ice. They delivered my order to the venue and when it was over, they collected what was left over and I received credit back for anything that was unopened. I would recommend Bogdan and Jim's Package Store wholeheartedly for any event.”

“As my husband pumped gas, I ran in for a cup of coffee. The girl in the store was very friend and helpful with the coffee maker. Coffee was delicious and not a million dollars.”

“I struggled to find a mechanic to service my truck, I have a 2018 Tacoma. Debettencourts got me in for my service right away and even took care of my license plate bulb which was out. Honest , fast , and reasonable with prices. Recently I had my 55k service ( oil change and inspection ) I also inquired about my wiper blade as it was on its way out. Mike had a pair exact fit for my truck and replaced them both ( I want to say it was like $40 ) Highly recommend this shop for all your car needs, the gas station sells propane and we always get it from there for the convenience. Total I think it was about an hour I waited ( comfortably inside their waiting area at the gas station ) They pulled my truck right over and had me ready to roll back to work. Not only that but the day prior to my appointment I realized I had a nail in my tire , causing a slow leak it seemed to elude me for days till I saw it, Mike was able plug it for me , and it was cheaper than the alternative. Typical island family and busines, Great people. 4.999/5 Stars ( everyone can improve somewhere but I'm not sure where these guys can improve haha maybe a bigger facility so they can accommodate more customers! ) Keep up the awesome work, I'll returning for any and all my vehicle troubles.”

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.
