“Loved the customer service, liked how he kelp his composure under pressure, ice box was on the fritz,and he happily refunded my money 💰. Only why I didn't give 5 star review”
“Always easy to grab what you need (gas, free air, washer fluid, maybe some milk, beer or wine in a pinch.). Great location that is easily accessible from multiple streets.”
“There is no better feeling than a local shop that will help your family out when you are not around! Thank you Tom for patching the tire on the spot!”
“This marathon at Norton Rd and old sullivant consistently has the lowest priced gasoline on the west side. I try to plan on not needed to re-fill any where else”
“I Was at home , I was so bored so I decided to do my laundry.. Playing the cornmachine Add the laundry map.. I was kind of bothered because it wasn't a slot machine.. So after washing , my clothes are decided to go to my favorite place and that's what happened”
“A young guy named Ahmed was so professional determining the reason why I have a flat tire it turn out to be the last technician installed the new sensor upside down. Thank you Ahmed and thanks for Alex as well.”
“Gas stations are a dime a dozen....they deal with sometimes the worst part of humanity. However I chose to come here as my local stop near home because the rival across the street Shell has employees that are more than likely worked to death and are underappreciated. When I come to this Marathon I feel like its a family owned business. They know me and treat me with respect, they ask how im doing. Small things. Mani when he was working here made me come back due to his attention to detail....he worked two registers to help reduce the line. More than Shell...Sindhu has filled his spot and has provided equal attention to detail and the small but IMPORTANT gestures that dont come around with gas stations.”
“They always have given good service to us. Anytime you need something they always try to have whatever you need! They are open longer than the other gas stations in the area. Also they serve pizza and wings which we love both!”
“I always appreciate the prices at Costco, especially their fuel. I just wish I could collect points on my fuel consumption as it's about the only place I fuel up at. Traveled from Seattle to Ohio and many points in between but usually look for a local Costco to fuel up.”
“It's outside in front of the Market, the parking was a bit congested. I had to pay attention to all of my surroundings - people walking, carts racing by, careless drivers... What a trip”
“This Sunoco is a regular stop for me. A likely family owned neighborhood gas station. Located at a high traffic intersection you would expect vagrancy and trash all over the property. And your assumptions would be....WRONG! (Gotcha, you thought I was going to be coy:) The property is clean and even the folks down on their luck in the area(full time pan handlers) are respectful and don't loiter. During the pandemic they were a consistent service to the community by being open and doing their best. When our neighborhood lost power during record heat, they moved their ice coolers out front and kept them running with generators. The only issue I've found(not their fault) is the limitations for entry and exit. Expect a bit of a loop if it's not on your side of the road or you need to change directions after your stop. Otherwise, more like this please. In an economy and climate where the standards for "good help" are at a record low, you will find people inside who take pride in what they do. Often a greeting upon entry and a smile at checkout. A bit older building, well lit and kept up. Kudos folks”
“You can always get in and out quickly and still have good service from the cashier or of you use a card then you don't have to talk to anyone. You just fill up and leave”
“My husband and I wanted to give a shout out to our fuel oil delivery guy, Bob. He went out of his way to start his day off extra early in order to accommodate our delivery. We are so very grateful for his kindness and taking care of us this way.”
“Splash guard came undone while going down 70. Pulled into here. They didn't have bungee cords or zip ties but the nice lady at the front grabbed some zip ties from the back and save d my day!!! Great staff.”
“Cheapest gas around the area. Like their cleanliness around gas pumps. Conveniently located for quick fill up on the go. Never been inside the store so can't say anything about inside store.”
“The lady that is usually there nights is very nice, always with a friendly smile :) You can get gas like every 20 feet these days but nice people seem to be hard to find at most other places!”
“It’s like speedway except a little worse in every way. Bathrooms not as clean, everything is a little more expensive and just feels like any other gas station. I do think they have a bigger selection of wine but I’m not on the gas station wine anymore.”
“Friendly employees. This location has an issue with their merchandise being stolen so they have to keep things locked sometimes. The printers get jammed a lot since they've gotten these new models. It's very clean and easy and quick transactions so I can't complain much. Cheapest cigarettes in Columbus.”
“The manager ray if you have any issues while you are staying there he takes great pride in taking care of guests takes care of all issues that arise his staff go above and beyond”
“No burgers. No hot dogs. No bratwurst. No s'mores. No cotton candy. No funnel cakes. No clowns. No smoking. No hula hoops. Just good honest gasoline. From a hose. Not free, but reasonably priced. Don't drink it. It doesn't go down easy. I promise. But it burns just fine in your car. Or your truck. Or your motorcycle. But not your electric scooter. Plug that in. And get off my lawn.”
“Clean store, nice service. And the inspiring thing is to hear how the manager and district cares about their teams. They sacrificed for them and as a leader in a different industry myself I noticed. It’s rare to see that kind of scrafice and I am going to leave it at that.”
“Small store items, gas, lottery tickets, lottery games, etc ..Westerville road. Growing up on the West side of Columbus, Clark gas station on W. Broad st was always busy, early 70s.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience with Woody’s Towing Service, especially their driver Eric. The security company vehicle broke down on the shoulder of a freeway entrance ramp during my very first shift on the job, and it was a stressful situation with traffic, frustrated drivers, and even a frustrated Columbus police officer trying to help manage things. Eric came out in the middle of the night while on call, and I truly appreciate his dedication. He was professional, polite, and worked quickly to get everything handled safely. Not only did he take care of the vehicle, but he also made sure I was okay and even gave me a ride back to my location. We had a great conversation, and he turned what was a very frustrating and overwhelming situation into a positive experience. Eric went above and beyond, especially considering it was around 1 a.m. and he had just been asleep before the call. I highly recommend Eric and Woody’s Towing Service. He deserves more than 5 stars!”
“AS HOOD I MEAN GOOD AS IT GETS FOR THE AREA. DON'T PARK AT THE PUMP IF YOUR ONLY GOING TO THE 75 CENT ATM, BE CAREFUL A ROACH TRIPPED ME, AND A RAT STOLE MY WALLET”
“Although it is self serve and they take all the different cards, I believe that that purposefully have the receipt machine at the pump disabled. That way you enter the convenience store to get your receipt on the chance that you'll purchase something else.”
“Kroger, you have exceeded all of our expectations! We recently relocated from Orange County, and we are so grateful to have found this grocery store. The prices are unbeatable, and the selection of products is simply amazing. From fresh produce to a vast array of international cuisine, Kroger has everything we could ever need. The aisles are well-stocked and the staff are always helpful and friendly. We cannot express enough how much we appreciate the great value and quality that Kroger provides. We are thrilled to have found a grocery store that offers such a fantastic shopping experience. Keep up the great work, Kroger!”
“A great place to buy fuel at a great price compared to most gas stations. Clean and the coolers and shelves are well stocked. Friendly staff to ring you up or buy lottery.”
“I never liked going into this store before. I actually got kicked out a few years ago. However they've improved and are really nice. Their store is very clean and neatly organized.”

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. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus.

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.
