“Remember this team and respect with whole your heart!!!, because this people, angels of the year!!came here for changing my oil after 15k miles of course as usual. I was expecting just simple job,but Shundrick, Jacob and Jen did something else what I didn't experienced in my 8 year driving! They checked my whole truck,took oil samples, greased and last moment called me (there was also supervisor Jen with me) I came and showed me everything what they did! I can only say: THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!!! Best people, best attention on job and everything was so cool! I'm just grateful for that you guys did for me!”

“Love this little grocery store plus gas station and bait shop. One of the only places I know you can go in and get a Coca-Cola get gas and and buy bait to go fishing all-in-one stop. Plus pick up a loaf of bread if you need it and snacks. And the people that work there are always friendly and helpful.”
“Lower than the gas station next door but a little higher than Clarks across the street that won't let you you pay at the pump. The cashier at that Exxon/Clark's told me to pay cash or pre pay but i wanted to fill up and was not sure how much to tell her to charge my card. She Wasn't very nice either... Shell was well worth the extra couple of cents for diesel. Plus they were nice, had more snacks and drinks to choose from, and the bathroom was clean. I will stop here from now on.”
“On July 16, 2023 we were traveling from New Orleans to Tennessee and our car broke down. I asked the worker who was so polite and helpful from the beginning could we park there till we can get the car back to Tennessee. Her name was gigi and also a gentleman named tyre who was also so helpful. They definitely have the best customer service ❥ ?????? ?????????? ????!”
“Really great spot for some EXCELLENT BBQ. Would highly recommend getting fried okra as a side! Very friendly wait staff and clean restaurant! Will definitely be back!”
“My favorite store I’m one of their best customers always nice and friendly and helpful and store manager is always very understanding and respectful store always clean but bathrooms could be better but I understand adults are definitely disgusting in today’s society and it’s sad because it’s not everyone and it’s not as much as of our youth it’s literally the adults ? been in customer service and accounting for years so Ik the deal but it’s a overall great store with great customer service and awesome people”
“Very clean and roomy bathrooms! As a traveler, restrooms mean a lot..especially when you have to do number two. My trips are planned to only stop at Buc-ee’s for obvious reasons but sometimes nature just calls. And the bathrooms here are well maintained and the cleanliness is kept up, stocked with toilet paper and soap. (Photos taken during time when no one else was in restroom for privacy concerns)”
“I love the Alliance store. It's kept clean. The tobacco products are about the cheapest you can find in Laurel. The staff is nice. Highly recommend this store.”
“Great store, if they would update their phone number or answer the phone. Excellent staff, and the restaurant side has phenomenal lunch specials. 4.2/5 stars this establishment gas prices are .30 more than in town. Pictures will be updated soon.”
“Embarking on a journey to the local Exxon is like stepping into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. The vibrant hues of the candy aisle shimmer with a peculiar intensity, and the air is thick with the scent of adventure—and gasoline. As I traverse the linoleum landscape, the cool hum of refrigerators becomes a symphony, each beverage a bottled symphony of refreshment. The attendants, guardians of this oasis, move with an otherworldly grace, their smiles both welcoming and enigmatic. The fuel pumps stand like monoliths outside, their numbers ticking upwards with a rhythm that feels like the heartbeat of the earth itself. The nozzle fits into my car's tank with a satisfying click, a union of machine and energy source that feels almost ceremonial. In this place, the mundane act of refueling becomes a moment of connection—a brief dance with the mechanical muses that power our journeys. And as I drive away, the essence of Exxon lingers, a reminder that even the most routine errands can be touched with a hint of the sublime. Four stars for Exxon, where every visit is a small odyssey, a slice of the everyday that hints at something more. ?”
“I spoke with a young lady named Crystal and she was very professional she made sure all my needs was met she got all of the information that was needed and answer all my questions with professionalism and I felt like she greeted me with a smile every time she returned my call”
“Listen up, jabronis! If you're lookin' for a place to fill up your gas-guzzler and maybe snag a snack or two, this Shell Gas Station is the joint. I rolled up with my baby runnin' on fumes, and bam! They got the premium juice for my ride. Inside, it's like a treasure trove of goodies. I'm talkin' about those little donuts that make you feel like you're not really eatin' a donut, but you are, and it's glorious. The place is clean enough that you don't gotta worry 'bout stickin' to the floor, and the folks workin' there ain't half bad either. They got this coffee machine, right? And I swear, it's like the nectar of the gods when you're nursin' a hangover that could slay a lesser man. Plus, they got those car fresheners that make your ride smell like a pine forest. Who doesn't wanna drive a pine forest? I'm givin' it four stars 'cause let's face it, nobody's perfect. The air pump cost me a couple of quarters, and I ain't made of money. But hey, if you're in the neighborhood and need a pit stop, this Shell's gotcha covered.”
“This is one of my fave gas stations in laurel. A few of the employees and manager are extremely nice and very helpful. There are a couple employee's aren't very nice but I guess that's just about any store you go to nowadays. Very clean, decent prices and the deli is really yummy but kinda high for a gas station food tho.”

“Thank God for Google maps and chevron! Made a trip to measure a job and fiancée didn't fill up 1st... panicked when the fuel light came on... thank you for being local and open!”
“Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered, weak and weary, Over an ancient Exxon station, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some customer there asking for gas and oil, rapping, "Prophet," said I, "Prophet - tell me, I implore!" 'Tis the Exxon, I remember, and its logo, ever ember, While from my car, now dying and worn, I lamented, mourning, sighing, Doubting, turning to this prophet, for a solution burning, yearning; That it is Exxon, angel sent, to save me from this plight unending, "Prophet," said I, "Prophet - tell me what I need, I implore!" And the Exxon prophet spoke, with wisdom and knowledge profound, Of the fuels superior, and the engine care renowned, "Noble driver, on this night, fear not, for Exxon has the might, We have the fuel you desire, and the care your car requires, In our pumps, you'll find the power to journey far and wide, And our mechanics, skilled and true, will keep your car refreshed anew." Then, with haste, I entered the station, my heart with hope elation, For I knew, without a doubt, Exxon would deliver from this slough, And soon, with fuel and care, my car was ready, strong and fair, Exxon, oh Exxon, how wonderful you are, a beacon shining bright, From this day forward, I shall sing your praises, near and far.”
“Always stop here on the way out of Laurel. It's pretty busy most of the time and finding a parking spot up close may or may not be happening depending on the time of day. The coffee is fine and always hot. You can get a drink and a hot snack or something else for a couple of dollars to tie you over til later. Always someone friendly ready to help you.”

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.
