“I was on vacation with my family and started having battery issues. The staff member who assisted us was a joy to work with and we were back on the road with a new battery in less than a half hour. The costs were in line with any other place, which is beyond fair for the remote location. I cannot thank them enough for saving our vacation.Service: Electrical”

“I was in there tonight and the 2 people behind the counter were so sweet! I was struggling a little bit and they kept their patience and helped me out as best as they could. This store is clean every time I'm in and the bathrooms are the cleanest I've seen in a long time! The staff here are always friendly, I love coming to this location. The food here is always fresh too, I like to stop in for the pizza.”

“My sister vividly remembered the name of this business when we returned to MI's Upper Peninsula for vacation. "That's the place with the fancy coffee! It's Good coffee, too! You can make it however you want with flavored creamers and syrups." But everything about these stations/ markets is "good", from filling up the tank, grabbing snacks, drinks of every kind including making your own fancy iced coffee. Food options range from warm/ hot sandwiches (breakfast, lunch, dinner), personal pizzas (breakfast ones too with eggs, veggies, meats) refrigerated sandwiches to heat up in microwave, standard cold sandwiches, hot dogs, corn dogs, yogurt, fruit parfaits, meat/ cheese/ cracker items. Just about everything you can imagine or want. They even have a small area where you can sit down and eat inside. Typical other snacks/ candy/ chips but a huge variety. Even baked goods: fresh daily donuts, muffins, cookies + nicer quality packaged items. And all the other offerings of a gas/ service station for auto or traveling needs. We've been to several locations and the staff is always very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient; which is a good thing for the locals who go there regularly and have places to be! The environment, inside and out, are always pretty tidy considering the amount of traffic/ people it receives. But if anything needs attention, the staff is very gracious, pleasant and attends as quickly as possible. Prices everywhere are higher these days, but I'd say $-$$, depending on your needs and purchases. I did note a rewards program inquiry when pumping gas, so their customers have that option for their loyalty.”

Read the postLove's Travel Stops is rolling out a new system that turns work into a game for its restaurant employees.

"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.
