“Hands Down the Best Spot in Athens! If you aren't hitting up PA's Sure Stop, you are doing your Athens runs completely wrong! This place is an absolute staple and the ultimate definition of a perfect neighborhood hub. Whether you're stocking up for the weekend, grabbing a quick refresher, or just need to hit a one-stop shop that actually has everything on your list, this is the exact spot. It’s fast, it’s incredibly convenient, and the selection is always on point. Huge bonus: they are an official Super Retailer for the Ohio Lottery! That means if you hit it big, you don't have to wait around—they can cash out winning tickets anywhere from $600 all the way up to $5000 right on the spot. 💸✨ Honestly, though, it’s the energy that keeps everyone coming back. The crew working here is always super cool, helpful, and lightning-fast. Athens has plenty of spots, but PA's Sure Stop is elite. Make it your daily or weekend go-to! ⚡🙌”

“The one clerk guy I always see in there is an absolute boss. I had no extra change or cash on me because I’m dumb and he gave me extra change to allow me to finish putting air in my tires. Cannot appreciate it enough. That guy is awesome and always seems to be happy. Favorite gas station in Athens.”

“Great staff that are friendly and helpful. Typical gas station and munchies supplies. They have one of the largest beer coolers in this part of town. Prices are fair and reasonable. Family owned and operated for a very long time I would have to say probably around 40 years now and they are great people who are friendly and happy to help anyone who needs help and is there within reason. Definitely my choice for gas or snacks on that side of town and have been a customer since I was in high school and got my license.”

“The Kroger Fuel Center is located right off of East State Street, which is one of the primary commercial corridors in the city. The gas station is accessible to get into and out of quickly, since there is a stop light next to it that allows cars in and out without worrying about risky left turns. Since the station is next to Kroger, guests can also do their grocery shopping and fuel up in the same trip.”

“BFS has always treated we well. Their propane prices are very reasonable and they do not charge a tank rental fee (unless I'm grandfathered into an old program, so don't quote me on that) if you fill the tank at least once per year. They have always been quick to deliver after calling and requesting a fill-up.I also love that they offer REC-90 Ethanol free gas at their plant location on route 550. I stop by and fill all of my gas cans every few months. I run it in anything that has a carburetor and have never had an issue with clogged, gummed up carburetors. It costs more than regular gas, but it's worth it to not have to worry about old gas sitting in a carb!Thanks for everything BFS!”

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.
