“Very reasonable, friendly, awesome service. Dennis explains what's going on with your vehicle, what needs to be done and any future work he may notice needs done soon while he's working on it. He also keeps overall safety in mind and fixed/replaced a part that could affect another part of the car or could have caused a bigger problem while driving in traffic. Dennis can also show you the part(s) he removed/replaced so you can see what bad shape they were in before he fixed them. Thank you, Branan's Garage.”

“The bathrooms smelled bad… huge selection of chips and they had a good bar to order from. Back parking lot smelled of urine. Giving them 4 stars because they had the best gas prices. Employees were very nice”

“WHAT A GREAT LOCAL RESOURCE!!! We were staying at a nearby campgrounds for awhile in Williamstown (Arrowhead Campgrounds - about 15mins away) and happened upon this place when visiting some family in the area. THEY HAVE A LAUNDROMAT!! (It’s NOT listed on Google Maps (we had already searched for laundromats and it never came up - but it does exist!!) Hopefully they will fix that so others will know about it. It is within the first storage unit building area and they have phenomenal, new, reasonably priced machines. It is super tidy & very well kept!! Machines & floors were very clean. Thank goodness I noticed the sign out front while pumping fuel and walked over to check it out. A great find!! We had planned to goto Kenton or Ada to do laundry - so it was nice this was available instead. We will definitely return while staying in the area!The gas station also has a deli & meat counter (steaks, bacon, etc). They also have Amish baked goods!! They have a really great selection of chips (Ballriechs!) ice cream treats, drinks & everything you might need! (They also have a gambling pull tab machine for those of us that can’t pass one up ?). It’s a little crowded inside but hey - it’s hard to find fault with having too much too choose from. Really helpful & friendly staff. Love finding local places like this! ♥️”

“I stop here to get gas because this is the only station with in a few blocks. The price isn’t bad compared to most places. If you live near by it wouldn’t be bad to gas up here. Competitive pricing and clean lot and not real busy so no wait.”

“Typical store. Well stocked, clean bathroom. It's almost two hours from our local store and items are a little pricey compared to home. One 20oz bottle of pop was $3.21.”

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.
