“Been coming here multiple times a week for years. I think the bad reviews are “super truckers” too new to appreciate a mom and pop. Not foreign ran, just foreign employees. Fuel desk French fries are the best fries I’ve had anywhere, and they be been all over the country. Restaurant in the back is a normal country bar and grill. Nothing spectacular but nothing bad. Go in often enough and you’ll get to know em. Fuel is cheaper than anywhere in Indiana and Michigan. That’s what keeps me coming back, and the fuel desk chicken special for $10 beats anything else in 50 miles around. If you get fuel, you get parking for free, so not sure why people complain that it’s paid. Just fill up. They also sell coil dunnage boards, which is handy if a skateboard driver oopsed and didn’t have any for FCP next door. Only left a review cuz all the negative ones are frustrating. It’s a great small truck stop that needs more business. One of my favorites in the OH, IN and MI area.”
“I love getting gas here. It's very simple tap to pay and it doesn't ask for a pin or 50 other questions just simply pay and pick your gas. I'll always go here over anywhere else just because of that.”
“The bad reviews are outdated.SPOTLESS restrooms and store, everything smells good.YES there’s a microwave, and a great selection of food and drinks.Really well furnished truck accessories/tools/replacement parts/etc section.Not a thing out of place and supremely courteous service..Bought some gloves and a snack and got FREE COMPLIMENTARY parking for the night.I parked in the dirt lot (mind you: *clean, fairly level dirt lot) among quiet flatbed buddies, a tripac humming somewhere far-off in a corner muffling out highway noises..Couldn’t ask for better ?♀️ strongly recommend.”
“I went into the speedway to get a pack of Winston White 100s and the lady said they were on sale for $3.00 a pack I'm kicking myself in the ass for not buying the whole carton”
“We stopped by with trailer trouble and they had supplies for us to get the trailer repaired. One employee even came and asked us if we needed any tools! 5 stars”

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.

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.
