“~Namaste~ Gotta love Nick's. Good fuels that are almost always priced less than the other stations in town... you know, like Maverik USED to be... including a choice for alcohol-free straight gasoline. Decent selection of "heat & eat" sandwiches, burritos, and the like. Best prices in town for smokes with a wide selection available. Huge collection of spirits including an awesome choice of quality Scotch blends and single malts (even Absinthe!) and lots & lots of barley pop flavors in various capacities, many wines as well. Lots of other things to be found in a convenience store are regularly stocked. Consistently laid-back and friendly service. Long live Nick's, much respected and appreciated! ~Phir milenge~”

“Martha's Cenex is yet another of the local Westco family of stores and services here in panhandle Nebraska. Always clean and respectable, always well stocked, always friendly in my experiences. Fair buys on their fuels as well, which incidentally being Cenex are Top Tier rated fuels with extra detergents in them that prevent large-scale buildups on your exhaust valves and piston tops. Makes for better running, more efficient engines over the long haul. Restrooms here have also been very clean whenever needing to make use of them. Stores like these help to make our community what it is: Better quality of life than many other places out here. Much appreciated and respected.”

“Definitely stop here. As a full-time RVer we stop at A LOT of gas stations ⛽. We originally stopped because I loved the name. Best squeegee to clean the window that we have used in a very very long time. Clean restrooms. Great drink options.”

“Stopped here to fill up our truck with fuel, use the restrooms, and to get a snack and something to drink. The store was spacious and the selection was decent. The woman working the counter was friendly. I bought some mini tacos and they were tasty.”

“Stopped in twice on a recent trip. Facility was clean (at the time at least), decent inventory options, think gas was comparable to the area (far from metro areas).”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades. The company plans to add 120 stores during the current fiscal year. Its previous plan, launched in 2023, delivered more than 500 new stores and earned the company a spot in the S&P 500.

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.
