“Always and only get gas at costco, to avoid long lines, preferably time filling towards closing time, and usually theres always a spot avaliable for a quick in and out”
“I'm writing this review on a gas station/mini mart for ONE reason.... For the Mexican food, obviously. Sounds weird, but check it out... This unassuming gas station has a small take out only Mexican restaurant inside. While they have a small menu, it covers the gamut of what you'd expect. Tacos, burritos and the like. But as it was morning, and I hadn't yet woken all the way up, I needed breakfast burrito and some spicy salsa. And the one I got was amazing! Just so happens they have a hot stand with some recently made selections, which normally I'm sketch on, but this place? They were so enthusiastic about the food they sell, I had to give the chorizo burrito in the hot case a try. The guy behind the counter was all smiles as he talked about how fresh it was, and gave me a couple spicy salsas. Took it home, unwrapped, and saw this thing was tightly wound and packed, not falling apart. Score! It was double wrapped in both foil and paper, so it held its moisture and heat in. Score! I take a bite - delicious! Chorizo, eggs, taters, peppers, great stuff. The salsa was really good too. Alternating between the green and red kept it interesting, and by the end of it I was completely convinced this place doesn't make "gas station" food. They just make good food, period. If I ordered this at a "restaurant" and they put this burrito in front of me, I'd be happy, straight up no lie. And for $7, not a bad deal either, for what you get. Can't wait to go back and see what else they can knock out of the park!”
“We've made a game of accruing "fuel points" at Smith's (at the store, via digital coupons, shopping on extra points days) so that we can get $1-off per gallon of gas. We save lots!”
“The new guy Nick helping out at the gas station is so nice and kind he helped with my gas cleaned my wi die and didn’t accept a tip he greeted me and was overall really nice”
“Best place in town Larry is a badass and a wonderful and kind person I haven't done much business here but I look forward to coming to Sierra car Care and tire Centers”
“I like this place. It's clean. Usually has good deals on energy drinks but mostly i love their coffee. Best coffee a gas station has ever offered. I would take their coffee over Starbucks”
“Cheap gas, they have a mini restaurant inside, got the good stuff and accepts ebt. This spot is a hidden gem that I would not have found if I wasn't absolutely about to run outta gas. Love it. Will be back. I wanna try their quesadillas.”
“Doubt I'll be renewing my membership as this food club has food no fresher than the rest of the town. If it weren't for the rotisserie chickens and gas prices I wouldn't even stay through this membership period. Scan n go makes things much more convenient though. Staff is friendly.”
“I will make this short and sweet since my visit was the same.I came here on February 26, 2022, eight days after their grand opening, drawn in by their loss leader gas prices, which were about one dollar less per gallon than other gas stations in Reno. I do generally use Top Tier gas, but I made an exception this time.My fill-up went smoothly, and I used their app at the pump after going inside to give them a cash deposit. The app gave me a nice discount for a first-time user, on top of their already low prices. Still, the cash price they advertised on their sign outside was even lower. I inquired within, and the cashier did not know why. But her supervisor was right there and she professionally explained that I have to not use the app to get store's advertised price, and the price using the app was different (corporate), even though I also paid in cash. Good enough. I am satisfied with the explanation I got. Both employees were terrific and friendly!While there, I shopped around and used one of the welcome bonuses I got for signing up for the app. I ended up getting a free pack of sugar-free gum, lol. But hey, I liked it and used it!Everything was clean, both inside and outside, and it was not too crowded, the store being new.I apologize for not getting photos inside while I was there. I also could have taken pics where the store was being built, as I drove past there each day. Oh well.Their prices have gone up since, competitive with other Reno stations, but that is to be expected. The store is in a good location, with lots of industrial business nearby on Rock Boulevard and Longley Lane, so it is in a good location.”
“The staff here is always very friendly and their overall selection is great. Always satisfied with my visits, they always have what we need and are convenient and not overpriced.”
“I really liked Steve. Super friendly cashier. His cheerful, upbeat, nature was infectious. When I need gas in Galena, this is my spot, hands down. All because of Steve.”
“Yay at last decent window cleaning sticks with good water in the 'bucket' & plenty of it. 5* for this alone, additionally great, spacious, clean, tall for access ? Only took one photo !”
“Only lived in Reno for about a year. I haven't had a lot of mechanical repair done. I've been doing smogs and oil changes for my Black Rock City-bound vehicles for a lot of years though. I'm so lucky that my friend recommended this place. The guy was really busy. I think he was the owner actually. Even though he was really busy and he was still calm and polite to every single person that approached him and every person that called him on the phone. He's a very calm and very polite. He told me that my smog was going to take a long time there's a lot of people in front of me. What do you meant by a long time was I had to wait 25 minutes drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of the world. A couple of people picked up their cars and they seemed like long-standing customers of his and they seem very happy. Full disclosure I'm giving this review based on a one-time subjective experience that didn't include extensive mechanical repair you can be assured I'll be back to the shop.”
“Went in early before work and was told they were down for an hour, but open, because they needed to reconcile? I get it but why still be open? Nice place otherwise and they have bathrooms”
“There are 2 really kind lady’s that work there and I get a large cherry slush puppies from there and I love it soooooooooooo much they taste soooooo good well these 2 lady’s are always so kind I mean the only reason I’m giveing a 5 star is cus of the slush puppies my mom bought a 10 dolor charger from there not the home charge just the cube that plugs in the wall lol”
“This used to be my favorite place to park my truck and shop and eat here and all the restaurants all around here, but now they charge 15 bucks a night to park here and the parking is empty this sucks, greed sucks.”
“Great visit to this location. They had a table with discounted beverages to go with pretty decent hot food and drinks including my favorite, frazil. The customer service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this location”
“I was thinking to myself this Sinclair gas station has the best quality gas of any and all gas stations in Reno at least I believe so and a thank you to the staff of great ladies there..... Supreme !!!”
“I live close by, and its gotta be the most convenient convenience store and gas station. The staff here are all friendly(even after having to deal with the number of riffraff that show up there) I've never been treated harshly by these guys and they always make sure you've got what you need before you get going.”
“Came here after the clerk at the location on 7th street acted like a fool. The gentleman here this afternoon, was able to confirm the date on my propane tanks. Worth the couple blocks to drive here.”
“I'm a senior,growing up my mom only used union 76 in California. 55 years later '76 is the only gas my baby drink??. The one on Mill St has the best staff. I really miss Chris, she was the best.RIP Chris. Hey bring back the antenna ball.”
“Cool store a little pricey but the owner goes the extra mile to take care of you. Alot of businesses have forgotten about taking care of their customers and just want the money this place is not like that at all. They are steps above for sure.”
“I love chevron gas I prefer it cuz when I do have a vehicle it runs smoothly.. if you take care of your car your car will take care of you . So only one to go with is CHEVRON !!!”
“I Have been a customer of this Gas Station for 40 years. First time I Have ever needed help from them. I was having tire pressure problems with my new car. The Mechanic came right out to assist me. Excellent customer service. Greatly appreciated”
“If you're paying with card, one of the cheapest you'll find in Reno proper. But it's in an awkward location and the store closes early. No receipt paper at pumps.”
“The first time I went here I didn't realize that the registers were on an elevated platform and thought the attendant was 8 feet tall.Also I could pretty reliably get TP from here a handful of months ago.”
“This store is family owned. They are so kind and friendly. I would rather spend a bit more in gas knowing it supports such a kind hard working family. Thier service is bar none.”
“More run down than other Mavericks I've been to on my trip. Buttons at the pumps and garbage cans were worn out. In a fancy part of town but overly visited as it's the last one before heading over the pass.”
“Not having any pictures... I am sure that the convenience of being the only Gas station Mini Mart currently operating between Sixth & Wells all the way South to Plumb & Wells Ave earns this site as a 5 Star rating!Katy Corner from the Community Health Alliance on the east side of wells Ave makes accessible to CHA patrons, VA Ee's & its client as well as the Iocal neighborhood vehides!The mini mart itself serves all the basic commodities such as Hot & Cold beverages (beer to hot coffee!) at prices comparable to similar size mkts. Candy, snacks & canned food is also available. Sundries and personal hygiene products are also stocked.Tobacco products (cigarettes, ZYN, Cope & rolling tobacco) as well as distilled spirits are available from behind the cashier's counter.A small, 4 machine, Gaming bank is located along the front aisle. Note: MAX bet is ten coins rather than the standard 5 coin bet on several of the games.Tire inflation may be had for a small fee, Diesel fuel, & I believe, Money orders are also available...: i'll snap a few photos & post the hours of operation the next time I visit.Being the Ides of March as of this post...lets all hope the Long, Snowy & wet winter of 2022/2023 to have lightened up by then! Who Knows? ???”
“I really really wish I knew about Biggest Little Baby when I was pregnant. It is a wonderful resource and community. I'm so grateful I found them when my son was 6 months old; I felt totally alone at the time, I had no support, no family near by - Google was my only resource. I found the Baby Circle group. It just feels so good to have a safe space to talk through successes and barriers/challenges, to know I am not alone, and to feel heard. It's wonderful to meet other moms and young babies and for my son to have a fun/safe space to play! We love Biggest Little Baby!!”
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.
Love's Travel Stops is starting 2025 with ambitious growth plans, adding 20 new stores and updating 50 current locations across the country. The truck stop company will upgrade its stores through its Strategic Remodel Initiative, which started in 2022. This includes the modernization of its recently acquired turnpike location in Stroud, Oklahoma. By 2035, over half of Love's 655 stores will be either new or updated.
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. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
Sheetz Inc., the Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain, is making big moves in the Motor City. The company announced plans to open four more locations across metro Detroit, weeks before opening its first Michigan location. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus. More locations are planned for Taylor, Warren, and Macomb Township, each employing around 30 people, mostly full-time.
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.
