“Last year we were on our way to Pennsylvania and were pulling our 6x10 enclosed trailer with our suv. After pulling up a pretty steep hill on 77, the engine temp started to go up, then I noticed what looked like smoke behind our vehicle. I pulled to the shoulder and shut it down, lifted the hood and was antifreeze all over the engine compartment. These guys were Johnny on the Spot. The towed our suv and trailer to the service station, after dropping us at a hotel. (It was about 5pm I think). They must have gone right to work on the problem, because I got a call at 8:30 the next morning, and the guy said, "are you ready?" and I said what do you mean? He said, "your all set." I couldn't believe it. They had it all repaired, picked us up at the hotel and we were back on the road by 10AM. The repair was very inexpensive. They replaced the thermostat and broken thermostat housing.I can't praise them enough. Dobson Citgo is FANTASTIC!”

“Sheetz is Sheetz. This location in Dobson is rarely super busy so it's a quick in and out. The folks here are friendly and helpful as you would expect in a small town. I do enjoy their sliders and they are made to order. The interior is kept clean so I find no reason to not support this local business.”

“Joe is awesome at this store however the staff at night is not . They are unfriendly, unhelpful and are more concerned with their cell phones than customers . I ask if they had something and was told they use to I asked where it would be and was told they don’t know and went right back to their phone. This is not the first time with a not great experience with this same cashier . She doesn’t seem to care and is not friendly to any customers . I never once heard her say thank you to anyone. I’ll go during the day however no more at night .”

“The woman behind the counter of Circle K #3368 in Dobson NC, Monica, helped me out of a pickle of a situation. My family had inadvertently left me stranded thinking I was in the back seat of their vehicle. I did not have any personal possessions on me, including my cell phone. Since I did not have anybody's phone number memorized, she allowed me to use her cell phone to google the phone number of my sister's business; then called my sis so that she could get hold of my family who drove away! She looked after me offering me a seat, etc until my family could backtrack on the highway to pick me up. Big thanks to Monica for her generosity and compassion! It was a tale of a story and likely difficult for her to believe at first. Plus, I was wearing my black N95 mask, lol.”

“Places like these are why I'm so fond of gas stations and why I love telling people about them! This BP is more than just your average gas station and convenience store, as not only is there a Dairy Queen inside and a decent bathroom to boot, but the store itself is larger than what you might expect, and given the location, there is an entire wing of the store dedicated to the town of Mayberry from The Andy Griffith Show! Lots of different themed merchandise and shirts can be purchased that are related to Mayberry and or the show, and I most certainly got one for myself! The location of the store is also rather convenient as it is immediately off of Interstate 77!”

“I created a Google account just to write this business a review. Cleanest lot, store, and restrooms in a gas station I have ever seen. Well trained, responsible and courteous employees. Drive out of your way to go to place.”

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.
