“My hubby just brought back a pizza n wings with a few samosas, we pass this place often enough to try and a few yrs ago I stopped in for a slice it was good . This evening the pizza was really good fresh and can taste the homemade and love the lady puts into it . The gas station is old and could use an update but that doesn't have anything to do with the taste of the food . The chicken wings we also very tasty and not greasy . The samosas were spicy but a good spicy ?We will definitely go back for our pizza n wings cravings .samosas too !Thank you to the lady who had made everything for my husband to bring home .”
“I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Esso gas station located at the next exit off the 401 East towards Toronto in Guelph, Ontario had some of the cheapest gas prices I've seen in the area recently. As someone who commutes regularly between Guelph and Toronto, I'm always on the lookout for affordable fuel options along the 401 corridor. This Esso station consistently has prices that are 5-10 cents per liter lower than the surrounding competition. The gas station is conveniently located right off the 401 exit, making it very easy to access. The pumps were all in good working order when I visited, and the overall station was clean and well-maintained. In addition to the competitively priced regular gasoline, they also offer diesel fuel, premium gas, and a selection of high-quality motor oils and other automotive products. The on-site convenience store also has a decent selection of snacks, drinks, and basic household items if you need to pick something up. I'll definitely be making this Esso station my regular stop for gas when traveling the 401 between Guelph and Toronto. The consistent low prices and convenient location make it a great option. I'd highly recommend it to any drivers looking to save money on fuel in that area.”
“Great store that has everything you need. I have been going here for 10 years. For all the people complaining about the pricing. LOL. This is the price of convenience.”
“This is a very convenient location for a gas station and I've come here many times to fill up at a reasonable price. It's easily accessible from the road and hasn't been too busy when I've visited this establishment.”

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.
