“It’s really good location. Huge place for truck parking. Showers are really clean. Only cost $11.50 for team and solo. Also have some ongoing deals with coffee and pastries/sandwiches. They got onsite restaurant too. Staff is nice and friendly. Overall excellent place.”
“Great spot for truckers. Clean lot, tidy store, friendly staff, clean showers, great restaurant. Coin laundry available. Large outdoor bird carvings and plaque explain the significance of the area to bird migration. Concrete by front doors had bird tracks pressed into the finish, which is fun!”
“One of the Best Mechanics We’ve Ever Had! We recently moved to Sackville from Ontario and were quite nervous about finding a reliable and trustworthy mechanic like we had back home. Fortunately, we discovered Sackville Service Station (SSS) — and we couldn’t be more impressed! We had an emergency with our son’s car, which he needed to return to college in Fredericton. It broke down on a Friday, and we were told it might not be ready until Monday or Tuesday due to the number of jobs ahead of us — which was completely understandable. However, after explaining our situation, the owner went above and beyond. He even spoke with some customers ahead of us in line, and to our surprise, the car was repaired and ready the very next day! Truly outstanding service. The team at SSS is honest, fair, and reasonably priced. They don’t upsell or add unnecessary repairs — they only do what’s needed and get your approval before any additional work. We highly recommend Sackville Service Station for all your automotive needs. This is a business that truly cares about its customers!”
“The young lady at the cash made the place. She was sweet and pleasant. She treated every one with a smile, genuine compliment and good natured. The washrooms clean.”
“Couldn’t ask for a better gas station Leigh owns it and goes out of his way to make sure your vehicle are taken care of even on the busiest days! Very friendly staff”
“Irvin oil have high standards and excellent services, however, on this day I couldn't get a ride to pick me from Sackville and went in to the CircleK grocery store at the station to ask the staff in there if I could sit there for few hours till about 5am in the morning (time was almost 1am then). He declined and I had to step out, in a temperature of about 1°c. I don't think I've met anyone that acted so mean and showing lack of emphaty since I stepped into Canada, like this guy did. The attitude of the CircleK staff is not portraying the excellent standard of the gas station. Although the CircleK shop has some excellent staff also, like the young Tanzanian guy and 2 other Caucasian ladies.”
“My usual fill up spot in Amherst. The pumps and store are always clean, the staff are very friendly, the soda machines always work. As far as gas stations go, this is pretty much how you want it to go.”
“Nothing special about this place...just another gas station. They need to hire some normal people to work here. There are two great big people here and they both won't stand up to greet you upon entering the store. I think they are just plain lazy people who really don't need a job and who dont really want to work. Hire people who will stand and greet their customers and who will pass things over the counter properly and not have us reach over to get our money.”
“Friendly staff. They even let me loiter inside a little bit during a cold winter motorcycle trip between provinces. Conveniently located. No complaints. 5 star service from the staff. There's always hot coffee on hand and even fresh popcorn sometimes. Decent little spot with lots of selection at typical gas station retailer pricing.”
“We have stopped to fill up several times while travelling to Upper Canada or to the US and found the Circle in Sackville NB to be a very convenient spot to stop for our gas and rest room stop.It is near all the necessary food stops for most travelers as well.”
“I had a great experience at this store! It was very well maintained and organized, with spotless floors. The staff were friendly and polite, making my visit enjoyable. I definitely look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend checking it out for a wonderful shopping experience!”

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.
