“Best value gas in the area. North or south this station is always reasonable and the best price. If you use the BP app you can save an additional 5 cents off per gallon with some restrictions. Bathrooms could honestly be improved but store front is nice.”

“I go here on almost a daily basis and the staff is always very kind and helpful. They do seem to be understaffed sometimes, but that’s to be expected in a gas station.”

“Good stop coming out of Traverse City on the 72 E. Good selection of everything. I was happy to see the Stok cold coffee and Grab n Go selections. It was really nice finding a huge selection of Yerba Matte drinks in their own fridge! The person working wasn’t really that friendly. But the parking space was decent and we had plenty of room to pull in with a big trailer. I’d recommend this stop!”

“I really liked this small store by the water. The view of the sea in front of the shop makes the place very relaxing and beautiful, especially during sunset. They also have a gas station which is very convenient for travelers and people passing by. The owner of the store is very respectful, friendly, and treats customers with kindness. The place is clean, organized, and has a peaceful atmosphere. I would definitely stop here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.”

“I do stop here on my way up to Petoskey going through Kalkaska on occasion. They have a sandwich shop right in the gas station and a little selection of grab and go sandwiches that are decent.”

“I have lived in Williamsburg for 38 years and therefore have been coming to this Gas station since I can remember...I don't think that I can give an accurate enough picture nor explain well enough how incredibly impressed I have been with the new manager, Elinor, and what she has done with this place. Although it has always been a favorite stop for me and my family, in recent years the place was going down hill fast...so when true north took over and Elinor stepped in my expectations weren't that high, if I'm being honest.......well let me tell you, the place whipped into shape and to my surprise was like an entire new gas station in a very short amount of time, Elinor and her team worked tirelessly getting this place into tip top shape and the best part of all, they haven't stopped! It's become a pleasure and a bright spot in my day to go there and somehow, and I don't know how, be impressed even more than I was the day before. Everyone is always so nice, speedy and efficient. The store is always so clean and stocked. The bathrooms are even clean every time I go in there which can't be easy, the outside always looks so nice and well maintained. As often as I go in there, I have never been dissatisfied, mistreated, or disappointed. The staff is always on top of their A game and when I get the pleasure of seeing Elinor she is always an absolute delight! I was a supervisor at Sara Lee for 58 years and it takes a lot to impress me, so believe me when I say that this manager and her team have truly gone above and beyond for this company and they have maintained it from the very beginning, never wavering...now that's impressive. These guys deserve so much praise and I hope that they get it because if I've ever seen a more deserving team, it's the team at this gas station. Personally I want to thank all of them for making my day every day I come there and they have become a the bright spot in my day...Thank you!!”

“Great Country Gas Station. I’m far from a regular here, but stop in now and then. I stopped in for a water while out looking for my lost dog. I asked the cashier (Laurie) if anyone had mentioned seeing a lost dog. She took down my information and said she’d mention it to the regulars as they come in and pass it on to her relief. Most gas stations would send me in my way, I appreciate them taking the time to keep an eye out and spread the word.”

“Good gas station very clean friendly people! Coffee is hot and I usually can find what I need! If there is a problem you can talk to the management and they are good at fixing what is wrong! Don't hesitate to tell them if there is something wrong because they cannot fix what is wrong if they don't know about it! Management is very kind”

“Normally, I wouldn't write a review for a gas station. But the attendant there was so friendly and helpful I hereby declare this gas station superior to all other gas stations.”

“The gasoline I got here on 6.21.2025 took me over Mackinaw Bridge and to various places in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan before I needed to refuel in Marquette. My car loved Marathon Gasoline during my Northern Tier States Road Trip of 2025!!”

“The place was really clean, I liked how the bathrooms had both paper towels and the air dryer. They only had one person on the register though and there was a long line. Overall, great gas station.”

“Ayron is especially a hard worker, idc if people are mad that she double checks cards making sure she doesn’t sell them off to underage people, she’s one of the only ones taking in shifts for the others, cleaning through the cooler and store as best she can, and does attempt to keep a smile on with costumers even when she feels off,”

“The employee stocking the store after close was a life saver. We took Google Maps' word that the Shell station in Kalkaska was open 24 hours a day when our low fuel light came on while pulling our trailer (meaning we had about 25 miles left and nothing had been open in the previous 30 miles). It wasn't open, but driving back through town, we saw her in the store. She was kind enough to open a pump back up for us, let us fill our tank, and allowed us to finish the rest of our trip to Graying. Thank you so much!!!”

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.
