“Best run gas station I've ever frequented. Employees are always nice and efficient..Always say hello and have a great day. Store is always clean and well stocked.”
“Clean Fuel station ... I've been coming here for over 7yrs whenever I am on this side of town. I always stop by here. Everytime the Restrooms are soo clean. I dont go to any other fuel station on the street I always drive extra to come here. Thank you for always being Clean and workers are always friendly. At this location”
“Stop here on almost a daily basis especially for my cigarettes… hands down lowest prices I’ve found in the area! Danni in the morning is the sweetest cashier ever always so pleasant and cheerful!”
“I absolutely love the new store! They do a wonderful job of keeping the place clean and smelling brand new. Also, the two cashiers exhibited some of the best customer service I have ever experienced at a gas station and most other places for that matter. I will definitely stop there any time I am in the Webster Groves area. Great Job guys!!!”
“Has anyone else noticed that 7-Elevens are becoming rarer and rarer these days? At least around the St. Louis area, starting around the time of the pandemic and continuing to the present ,there are so many 7-Elevens that had been operating in the same spot for decades, only to one day be closed forever with seemingly no notice, And with no new 7-Elevens being put in anywhere to help replace all the ones we've lost. Now, I have no idea why we have lost so many of our 7-Elevens, but I do know that it makes me really appreciate the few we have left. Case in point : this 7-Eleven, located on Bennington near the beginning of the Page extension. Right in the middle of possibly the highest density of rental apartments to be found in St. Louis County, anchoring a strip of retail which also includes a laundromat and a bar (hello, multitasking!) this7-Eleven remains an integral part of the community here, allowing new generations to experience the joys of delicious iced coffee on tap that doesn't cost three times as much as it should. So go ahead, stop in and get that slurpee. You'll be glad you did.”
“My absolute favorite gas station in St. Louis. Convenient and fast service with friendly staff. Their liquor section is pretty large and they're always helpful.”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort.

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.
