“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 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!!”

“First things first, easy access for trucks with trailers. Easy in and out with plenty of room. There is also a carwash on the property. Inside you'll find a very clean market with a wide variety of foods, snacks drinks and alcohol. The you man behind the counter wasn't too chatty but we were on a road trip, so didn't mind the quick transaction.”

“The awesome gal working today just before 5 made my day. I forget her name but she was the shift leader. Super welcoming and friendly. Keep her as long as you can”

"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.
