“Nice gas station with plenty of pumps. Never had to wait. Prices vary but generally lower than surrounding gas stations. Easy in and out access. A mile from Mayberry Park.”
“Just got air for my tires here went to like four places and this the only place the air actually works make sure to have quarters cause air isn't free anymore weather you get gas or not”
“Good location with friendly staff. They even help with pumping gas when we ask. Don't see that service much anymore. Pretty awesome how they go above and beyond for customers!”
“I find that the gas prices are good. It’s always clean inside. I’ve noticed that there are often times regulars hanging around inside watching tv, sitting behind the counter, etc… I don’t typically see this at any other gas station. But, if I do need to buy something at the counter while I’m there I have not had to wait because of it.”
“My friends and I call this the “Shakira station” because of the framed photo of Shakira’s album near the counter. It’s always really clean, staff is super friendly, and they always have what I need. I go out of my way to go to the Shakira station!”
“Early, while still dark, en route to mid-OH to visit family, my oil light came on. The day before I had my oil changed at the dealership. Not being very mechanically inclined, I became concerned whether I'd be able to continue my trip that day as planned; moreover I wasn't sure what to do, other than check my oil. So I turned off Beck onto Eight Mile Rd and luckily found Jeff's Mobil station, which I had never been to before. Dora, the receptionist, was so very, very helpful and kind. I was flustered, couldn't even find the dealership's number on my phone, so she helped locate their general number for me via the Internet. Dora listened sympathetically and shared her knowledge and advice. I had already checked my oil stick. It looked like it was very low or even empty to me. I showed the dipstick to Dora to be sure she agreed, which she did. The dealership's service dept, where I had the oil change, was going to open in a few minutes at 7:30am. Then her manager Jeff came in, with whom she shared my problem. He kindly and quickly asked to see my car. He did a thorough review of my engine, oil level, checked for leaks, educated me on oil leak indicators (splash tray under engine), showed me how to gage oil level on dipstick, more accurately than I knew. He said it looked like I still had some oil in car, just low. He shared he was once a mechanic, which I didn't doubt; a very good one at that. He recommended adding a quart of oil and checking result. About that time the dealership was open, and the service manager suggested the same thing. They also wanted to see my car for a complimentary oil change.I appreciate Dora and Jeff's exceptional, attentive care, and assistance. When I purchased the quart of oil, I tried to tip Dora. She refused. Such kindness, generosity, and expertise isn't always found in businesses today. Thank you, Dora and Jeff, for being there for this Grandma.”
“First time at this gas station. Didn’t know how to retrieve my Mperks to get my gas discount. Rang for assistance and a very nice associate by the name of Michael came out and lent a hand. No problem next time, thanks Michael.”

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.
