“Good, fast gas pumps, I noticed they have a non-ethanol blend of gas at one of the stations. I'd try that if you are pulling a boat. Overall it's a good location with security cameras at each pump. Thank you”
“The place is really clean and organized. Is it because it is still fairly to brand new? Possibly. Probably. But its really nice inside, the staff have always been fresh and the shelves are always well stocked. My only issue with the place is the parking. The parking spots and the pumps are really close together and the whole parking lot i entirety is small and close the the street. I makes the place feel crowded and hard to get in and out when there are only a few cars there, so getting in and out of the place can be a bit tricky. Just really look out for other parked cars getting gas or other people trying to get in or out. Tight quarters for anyone wanting gas or parking to go inside. The inside however is spacious and welcoming and you can find anything you're looking for that you could reasonably expect from a gas-station convenient store.”
“This is a very honest business with a caring staff. My wife left her purse the evening prior in the restroom. When we returned the next day, the purse and all its contents were present. It is such a relief to find people who care enough for others to ensure the safety of customers' belongings. We do not frequent this area, but we will always support this establishment when we visit.”
“I swear to God, this place has the cheapest gas of any other store in a 10 mile radius. The interior is a charming rustic old country store, but you're gonna love the gas prices. In the morning, they serve absolutely the best coffee you've ever had. Cream and sugar and other flavors. You name it. They also have artificial sweeteners for that coffee and they never ever seem to run out. There's a cooler full of ice cold beer. They have a lot of different water products as well as Gatorade and soft drinks. There's a full aisle of nothing but potato chips, like Doritos, Lays, and all the flavors like barbecue and salt and vinegar. Everything's fresh and it's ready to go. And just like the other places, you can always play the lottery and the other games that they have. I think they call it the North Carolina lottery. And the guy behind the register is always pleasant with a cheerful good morning to everyone. So do yourself a favor and take a minute and just go in and say hi and get a cuppa coffee or a cold drink and some chips and fill your tank up with cheap gas man Thank you”
“Just want to leave a updated review. They do have bathrooms they are nice and clean, staff is friendly as far as I could tell. The trucking parking is hotel owned. The hotel was very nice to me aswell. They do have it as paid or if you stay at the hotel. But its fair if you need to park for the night its tight but they did put in new gravel still uneven in spots. But good”

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.

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.

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.
