“Had a great time visiting. Its a nice snapshot of classic advertisement at its finest. From the old gas pumps to the exterior. If you are looking for a cool photo opertunity or are looking to just hang out at a stand out location this is a stop worth making.”
“I was referred by my son, and I’m not disappointed. Zack did a great job fixing my window and Steve was very nice. My only complaint was that the dog was out when I dropped off and picked up my car. Honest pricing, professional service, and kind staff.”
“I have been a customer for more than 25 years. They are honest and reliable. They stand behind their work. This company has been such a blessing to me throughout the years. A great family owned business you can trust.”
“One of the only places that I can usually always find my Gold Peak Extra Sweet Tea!! The service here is always quick, welcoming and friendly. I can sometimes take forever in the parking lot and I’ve never been bothered about it, which I appreciate. Sometimes they have cookies, brownies, cakes up front at the register that are from local small businesses - those are always a win!! There are a couple of other gas stations very close by and this one is always my go-to.”
“An epic Costco, its size and organization were top notch. Finding my baby’s organic milk was a breeze and any other ingredients for a hearty family meal. Checkout was a breeze and we will certainly be back.”
“As a new member who cannot always walk the store, the convenient online shopping with curbside pickup is great. I save a bundle with special offers and on gas while I am there. I am looking forward to using the wide range of benefits. Excellent gas pumps and below most gas stations in price.”
“I come here every day, and I've never once had a bad experience. It's convenient, the prices are low, and the staff is among the friendliest I've ever seen in a gas station. Love making small talk with them.”
“Such wonderful customer service provided with hardly any wait! Got 2 cars inspected last week and 1 didn’t pass. The gals up desk were extremely helpful and told me part cost (they would have had to order it) and their labor cost. I found part for less online and took it today for them to replace and re-inspect. All’s good now and it only took 30 minutes since I’d scheduled an appointment. They’re trustworthy, efficient, and speedy!”
“Now that they except credit/debit cards, Samsung pay and Apple pay they have definitely stepped up the gas station game on the East side of Winston Salem. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere make it the perfect place to stop at anytime of the day.”
“Just wanted to let the whole world know about the hearing aid center in Costco in Winston Salem . I went in to have a hearing test & it was determined that I really needed some help with hearing aid. When I was younger I used to hear a rat pee on cotton . As I got older I was constantly saying talk louder or repeat ! My hearing tech was a fine lady by the name Amanda , My hands were injured about 8 years ago leaving my left had with no feeling in it . I was constantly dropping the hearing aids on floor in mornings & night . (putting them in & taking them out , I told Amanda about this & she suggested molds for hearing aids . She stated that she wanted me happy or complete refund , After 3 months of trying without success I took the hearing aids back to Costco for a full refund ! I just want to say in closing , they treat you like a human being & not a number . I am convinced that Amanda with hearing wants the customer satisfied or money back ! You know as well as I know that is rare in today’s business world !!”
“I stopped at this establishment to help some in need it stayed outside, assisting one of our youth. After I got through helping this young man I told him to remember to obey his father and mother and eat his vegetables and always stay in prayer to the true God of the holy Bible, he said okay sir,”
“Great service great people would help you with anything in the store and I like the way they greet you and when you leave I'll talk to him later. Lovely conversation”
“Best gas station on the block. They always got all the goods i like & need. I have been there a couple times and always very clean. Great atmosphere. awesome employees. Ill be back Exxon!!”
“Sheetz is the best and this location is wonderful. I love everything about the new makeover, looks and such, but something about the layout preremodel was nicer. But the new store is great and I am so thankful to have it close by. The staff have always been friendly.”
“This is one of the best places I stopped at ever, they have great high quality gas, the snakes are completely up to par, and the deli is second to none. Stop here immediately.”
“Often called Cricket, Grasshopper ia a quaint little store with much to offer. Has restrooms and atm on outside of store. Very convenient location.. . close to downtown.”
“I want to tell everyone about Matt at the Parkway Shell station on Silas Creek Parkway in Winston Salem. I needed to fill gas cans so I would have gas to mow. Never done it before, but as a widow, I had to. I had no clue how to get the nozzle in the can with the pull handle and big yellow nozzle, but Matt was kind enough to show me and explain. Then when I finished he was right there to lift the cans and put them in the bed of the truck. What started out as a scary thing for me turned into learning and being blessed by an @mazing young man. If you don’t trade at the Parkway Shell, you should be…say hi to Matt when you get there…”
“I LOVE THE FOOD THE PEOPLE!!!! they’re so good to me! I’m thankful for this crew. And btw I had a great sandwich on a tortilla with garlic sauce , pickles and chicken I’m in love!”
“Prices are HIGH but it is a convenience store. I had to go out of town and be at the airport at 5:00am and stopped to get a drink about 3:45am and some sketchy looking people hanging in the parking lot beside the dumpster and no other cars around so I decided to wait until I got to the airport, so Just don’t go in the middle of the night.”
“Since this store has been back open its great. So much easier to stop there than the one that just closed down supposedly it kept getting robbed we don't know the owner sold out. This one is better and have great prices for everything we got.”
“Great gas prices, also great convenience for check cashing. Sure it's in the city on the side of low income housing so the area does have homeless people often circling for change. That's typical of any gas stations or busy stores. However management does try to prevent panhandling and they operate a clean and organized store. Operated by Asian or Oriental family. They're really respectful though and I appreciate their convince store and tolerance to our neighborhood. Thank you.”
“It's okay for a store.but it also.tends to attract some individuals who are a problem to the community. One must navigate with caution, I know from experience. Beautiful but dangerous especially after 5:00 pm.”
“Dylan i believe his name on 2nd shift is the absolute best! This business is blessed to have him on the team! Always happy to support a locally owned and operated business.”
“Great place for gas, tobacco, beer, drinks, and any other thing you can think of from oil to aspirin. They got it. Gas is competitive prices typically. Are amazing and wonderful people second to none.”
“The lady that works the register in the morning is amazing. Great service. Love her so much. She is so cool. Always makes everyone feel like family. Wide selection of snacks. Just a really cool place.”
“I am a huge fan of Costco. I've been a member for over 25 years. Before that my parents were members back when it was called Price Club in the 80's when I lived in CA. It's safe to say I've been eating at the Costco food court for many many MANY years. I've seen menu items come and go over this time. The hot dog and pizza have always been a staple. I used to love the supreme pizza slice they offered. Unfortunately, that disappeared along with the Polish sausage they used to serve as well. Every time a new item comes to the food court I go in and check it out. They had a barbecue sandwich that was OK in my opinion. It was super messy to eat, so much so they served it with a cardboard collar around it. For a long time they offered a turkey pesto Panini that I fell in love with, and would get it almost every time I went shopping there. I miss that one! The newest sandwich offered was the roast beef sandwich. Again, it was just OK for me. The dessert options were always just the strawberry sundae or a fruit smoothie. They then added the chocolate sundae, the mocha smoothie and the churro. I tried the churro when they first added it and was very unimpressed. It was flavorless, and I always felt it needed so much more cinnamon sugar than it had on it. One of the best desserts they offered was a chocolate coated ice cream bar. It was huge! I miss that one too. The newest addition is the huge chocolate chip cookie. This cookie is served warm and it costs $2.49. If you look at it through the window you might think they overcooked it however, don't judge a book by its cover. It is perfectly cooked. The outside is crispy. The inside is gooey and chewy and full of chocolate chips. I think this is by far my favorite addition to the Costco food court. I hope this one lasts because it is the best! If you think these are the same cookies, you can get in the Costco bakery by the dozen think again. The ones in the bakery are not nearly as delicious as the ones in the food court. They don't even compare. Next time you hit up Costco, treat yourself to this delicious cookie. Share it with someone you love.”
“I love the Shell 'Gas House' gas station. It can get a little busy, but as long as people use the one way parking lot is intended, it goes quick. Fast pumps. Clean surroundings. And the people here have always been kind and helpful. I always treat them with kindness and respect and they have always done so in return.”
“This sheetz is less than a mile from our home, so you better believe we are here all the time! Everyone and everything is great , however, Chris Pankey, makes it somewhere you want to keep coming back to. Chris goes above and beyond for his customers and always makes me feel so welcome and he makes me feel like he’s known me forever ! Very personable , respectful, and will make your day!”

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.

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.
