“This gas station deserves 5 stars, because when gas prices went up this place kept theirs 14cents cheaper than any other gas station for a day. It may not seem like alot, but for some, it's a big savings.”
“Great little spot right on the King George Highway. The pumps are always clean, and the convenience store is well-stocked with quick snacks and drinks for the road. Best of all, they give 5 cents off per litre when you pay by cash or debit, which is an awesome perk! The staff is friendly and helpful, making it a perfect quick stop when you're passing through or commuting.”
“My hometown hwy 11 Irving station, usually is clean, staff are always friendly (its Miramichi duh) easy to find, right on the hwy, there are loads of options.. just stop in, im sure you'll find what you need.”
“This is probably one of my favourite Shell stations to fuel up at. Oftentimes they have the lowest price on the west end of Miramichi. The convenience store contains a wide variety of products, and oftentimes has good sales on select items. They have deal bins near the front counter that usually have different bars or candy for super reasonable prices. The only struggle sometimes is getting a pump, but usually it doesn't take very long. As is the case with all other Shell stations, they do accept Air Miles. This location also offers the $0.03/L discount to CAA members.”
“Friendly staff.... Also where it is a convenience store as well it's quite nice to pick up anyting that you might need while you're there filling up your car with the gas”
“I travel from Tracadie to Moncton weekly, driving through Miramichi and this has always been my go-to stop. The hot-to-go snacks are always fresh and delicious and they have a large variety of drinks, chips and candy. I have never had a bad experience here, but tonight I had an excellent experience! After starting my drive back, I hit a large piece of ice in the road that damaged the bottom of my car. When I stopped here for some snacks, the lady at the cash (I wish I got her name) had noticed that I was upset about something and asked me if U was doing okay, when I told her that I had broken a piece of my car and that I was stressed about my drive home, she asked her male colleague to go out and check on the situation and see if he might be able to do a temporary fix. Unfortunately there was not much that could be done, however he was able to reassure me that it was not a serious problem and that I would be able to get home safely and that he had a similar situation with his car and that I would be able to order the part that needed to be repaired and it wouldn’t be too expensive. This is above and beyond service and I wish I could shout them out personally but I didn’t get their names, I hope they see this:)”
“I usually always do my gas fill ups at Petro for a couple of reasons.... It's close to where I live and my Petro points card is also connected to my banking card which is very convenient because I don't have to carry my petrol card with me all the time and also I also have savings and collect extra points for having it connected to my banking card... also the staff are always friendly and it also is a variety store so you can pick up things you might need if the other grocery stores are closed”
“Great convenience store with lots of extras. Cb radios, Bluetooth helmet radios, Bluetooth headphones and wide variety of colectibles such as die cast cars, skullcandy products (ashtrays, figurines, pens, etc), toys, marvel and DC plush toys and also fireworks. Bread is pricey but their piza and hotdogs are affordable. Staff friendly”

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.
