“Very nice workers. Store is always clean and their butcher is great, great place for meats at very reasonable prices. The fried shrimp on Fridays are awesome and so worth trying. Do miss their stuffed mushrooms. Definitely a good deli to grab a hot lunch or dinner and cheaper than fast food.”

“Always polite service and they have all the normal gas station food/coffee/pops/food you can get anywhere else. I don't smoke but they have a good selection of tobacco, both cigarettes and loose tobacco to roll your own. On top of all that they have two electric car charging stations!”

“Absolutely will be back!! Showed up unknowingly with only 5 minutes before close and the way I was treated!! They literally were extremely nice while I was standing at the register! Guy before me was treated very kindly and it was heartwarming to see. The guy behind the counter was right in the questions he was asked about the store and it was nice to see they have qualified workers here. Will be back for sure!”

“Nice little convenience store/Gas station, always have kind of warm food to go lunch or in late night bite to eat. Open 24 Hours which is big plus because there are not many places that do the 24 hrs in the area.”

45 Stimpson Street South, US Highway 31, Pellston MI 49769
“First off this is an easy off easy on right off the highway. The minute you get off the highway heading North you can see the station. The front side has lots of pumps for gasers and around the back is a full service stop for 18 wheelers. Inside the store we were greeted by very pleasant staff. The store is well stocked with a large variety of drinks, fast food, a huge refrigeratorated section, chips, candy, nuts etc. I liked the coffee machine that grinds the beans and brews a fresh cup on the spot! The restrooms were neat and clean. Weather you are driving a car, truck, pulling a camper or driving an eighteen wheeler there is plenty of room for a quick stop or pull over to the side for a little rest! We will definitely stop here again. Try it and let me know what you think and have a great trip!”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience today in shell when Manger Julie went above and beyond to help me while i had my hands full with my daughter and trying to purchase things in the store! Very kind and great customer service!”

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.
