“5/5 - Excellent rewards program, friendly staff, and timely discounts of a variety of goods that discontinued, or expired. Very good fuel prices over time with a Speedway rewards. Diligent staff overall - checking the pump receipt paper, garbage cans or debris in their entire lot.”

“Best gas stop in town staff is super friendly, professional, and helpful. I live in a rv and during winter the water gets shut off to avoid bursting pipes but the amazing staff here at kwik stop don't judge or hesitate to help me by letting me fill over 10 gallons of water into storage tanks for my pets and I whenever we need. Better prices than all competition in the area better service always guaranteed to leave with a smile here. Many thanks to all the staff keep doing what your doing!”

“You can choose between the big chains in the busier locations in town or this mom and pop gem. If you pay attention to the details, you'll notice a stark difference in quality and cleanliness. Look at the trash cans that are meticulously emptied and the spotless parking lot here. Notice the sparkling interior floors and perfectly stocked shelves. Notice how the employees seem so happy to greet you as you enter the store. These people treat you like family, and it feels genuine. Shout out to the fabulous woman who manages this place and the dedication she outs into making this business stand out in our community! This is exactly the template that shows how small businesses survive the creep of corporate takeover. I hope this place stays viable for years to come, and I will be giving them my business as long as I'm able.”

“I stopped in just before 11:30 today to grab a quick bite to eat, and the cashier at the far right register was wonderful. She was so patient and kind with the gentleman ahead of me, which really stood out. I’ve had her help me a few times before, and she is always personable and friendly. It makes a difference, and I really appreciate her great service. I didn’t catch her name, but she was working the last register on the right and had blonde hair.”

“I stopped by this Speedway this past Tuesday morning and was not only greeted by one cheerful employee, but three!! It was unexpected and such a rare thing these days I felt compelled to write this review! I typically go to Holiday but the gas price for some reason was about $0.30 cheaper so I swung in here instead. I like to get a big gulp wherever I am and theirs was SO good with perfect carbonation. I am now going to go here every single time, but mostly due to the superior customer service!!!”

“I usually go to the QwikTrip on Hart Blvd. I was disappointed when I went into this store & there was no Frozen Lemonade. I was told & understand that this is a smaller store, so they don’t have room for the machine.”

“I never gave Kwik Trip the credit they deserved on their quality of actual gas.. this is a review solely attesting to that specific thing, the gas here is excellent.. my MPG has literally gone up 3 miles per gallon from 25 to 28 from solely switching to their blend. Kudos 👏”

“I Absolutely Love This Store! It Is Very Nice and Clean! But The Thing I Wanted to Talk About is the Car Wash. The Car wash Is Very Nice! It Does a Fantastic job! (I'm a Car Wash Enthusiast) And it Used to Only Have Touch-Free only, But They Modernized It and Turned It To Have Soft Touch and Touch-Free! And They Dryer Is Very Good. The Only Thing I Recommend Is Fixing The Dryer Pistion. It Does Not Work The Best. But It Still Drys Nice!”

“The folks here are super friendly and always helpful—exactly what you want in your neighborhood gas station. Whether you’re grabbing a snack, some fuel, or just need a quick pit stop, the service is top-notch and genuinely welcoming. That said, when you walk in, it feels a bit... sparse. There's a lot of empty floor space, which gives the impression they don’t carry as much as some of the nearby stations. Could be because they just switched over from Speedway to BP—maybe they're still getting settled or planning a restock. Still, if you value great customer service and a clean, easy stop, this place has you covered. Just don’t expect the wall-to-wall snacks and extras you might find at the bigger chains—at least not yet.”

“They have E85 and Diesel. Pizza slices, whole or to go snack foods. Pizzas one of my local faves. We will at times make a trip there just to grab a slice. Used to have ice cream machine that I wish they would bring back.”

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.
