“I'm only here for the $1.50 hot dog and drink combo....just kidding. The selection of products at Costco is UNREAL. You can find basically anything, in bulk! Their bakery has some great stuff, make sure to stroll through and toss some of those muffins into your cart. Checkout is quick, and lines move fast here. Move with the pack and if you need help finding anything, the staff here is always friendly.”

“The gas prices that continuously get posted on the Gasbuddy app. Unfortunately for premium is incorrect and does the station a disservice. Because somebody keeps posting the non-oxyethanol-free premium that they use a single hose setup for all three types of fuel. As the 10% ethanol premium price. When this location has the best pricing for premium in Brainerd. Only place I get my premium at.”

“decent if s out is not the Ne Brainerd Lum Park Location... they a) didn't cook our pizzas b) offered nearly zero maybe even possibly negative gain to the product/service ordered.. c) wouldn't cook the pizzas when asked or replace the faulty manufactured food or it was the wrong order of pizzas that were sent, then we were told at like 845 pm that nobody could help us and then quickly obliged a year of free pizza to us... then call Kacie... who came in sun am the next morning only to leave also to split early that morning .... so another day passed ... and after an ethics talk she gave us coupons for pizzas we no longer want if we go get them... we ordered through their app they contracted the door dash as Casey's tendered the sale and collected to total amount due.. door dash says yeah Casey's got the loot ... so they may have severely lost the business of my family and extended family... I figure if the can't get 2 pizzas here or refund me in full they are not worth another penny of my family's money.... I'll business manner at best..”

“This is my regular gas station, as it is very close to home and work for me. Very convenient, employees are friendly enough, I only have 2 complaints about this place. Seems like every time I pay at the pump and request a receipt, the paper is out or it's jammed and I don't get a receipt. Also, your fountain pop machine. It's almost impossible to fill your cup with coke without touching the cup to the side of the machine.”

“It’s a gas station, people. The employees are friendly, it’s clean, and they have convenience store “stuff”. For being in the middle of nowhere, (my neighborhood) I’m happy with it! Some rude people feel entitled to having it all. Jeez. Drive 7 more (SHORT) miles to civilization then. Better than the rat race across the highway. It’s a nice country gas/snack stop.”

“4 stars because : Prices are a little spendy. HOWEVER, the manager is always more than kind & helpful anytime I’ve spoken to him. One time I didn’t have a coupon book, so I was unaware of the sale going on, but he rang up the coupon for me anyway!”

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.
