“Great store/gas station. Staff is always smiling and friendly/courteous. Unfortunately its not a great place to buy gift cards especially as last minute gifts, since they have been stuck with the same old SLOOWWWW activation system for years. Tried to get some cards for Christmas gifts and after half an hour of trying/waiting, still didnt get a single card activated so i went elsewhere for them.”
“There’s something about getting out of Toronto that makes even a gas station feel like a treat. This Petro Canada in Huntsville was empty when I pulled up, clean when I walked in, and painless from start to finish. Prepaid at the pump, filled up, used the washroom and it was spotless. No lineup, no waiting, no somebody hovering two inches behind you because there’s twelve people queued up for the same pump. Just a clean, quiet, easy stop the way it should be. The city could learn a thing or two from this place. Five stars and I didn’t even have to fight anyone for a pump.”
“I want to highlight one of the employees here who made a real difference in my day. I didn't catch his name, but he works the night shift a couple of times a week, calm, quick to help, and clearly someone who takes real pride in his work. During a family road trip in our RV, I was completely exhausted and asked him if there was somewhere nearby I could pull over and rest for a bit. Instead of brushing me off, he took the time to point me toward a spot where I could safely park. That small act of kindness left me with a genuinely warm memory of Huntsville, even though I'm not from here, just passing through. People like him quietly do a lot for how a town is remembered by visitors, and they deserve real recognition for it. As for the station itself, I always judge a place by its washroom, it's the one spot nobody bothers cleaning up just to impress you, so it tells you the most about how seriously a business takes cleanliness overall. This one passed with flying colours. All the pumps were working and spotless, and there was plenty of parking, which made it a relaxed and easy stop. Five stars, without hesitation. Next time I'm through Huntsville, I'll be filling up here again, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know.”
“I don't know the name of the gentleman that helped me today but oh my goodness did he ever leave an impression! Truly made me feel like a customer again when most places just make me feel like a number. This man deserves a raise!”
“Specifically went here instead of Huntsville because of the prices on Google maps which were not correct. Great stop otherwise. Likely should be Google maps getting this review.”
“Great service and kind, honest people. Ran out of gas on the way and called them for help. They arrived minutes later with a gas. Boat still didn’t start and they drove back to get a bigger boat to tow us in. Then they quickly fixed the issue when their repair shop opened… we filled up and were on out way! Thanks RMGD!!! You save us!”
“This is the only place I will buy fuel. I have been going to this place for over 25 years, will not go anywhere else. Always treated very well at this place. If this place ever closes I will be going out of town for my fuel. Thank you Canadian Tire Gas.”
“They have Fish Flops! William and Kiki were very helpful, going back into the storage room to retrieve an array of fish flops, and even suggested specific styles to suit my wife. 🐠🩴”
“Well Google fails again with its absolute stupidity however this time I'm quite glad. This is a Cardlock not a truckstop so when I pulled in running on fumes was quite upset however the guys around back drove me to office where I paid and then back to my rig. Awesome friendly top notch customer service above and beyond ? made my day big shout out to Bowman Fuels”
“I never thought I’d review a gas station before but this is hands down the best gas station I’ve ever been to! The staff is beyond friendly and they’re so lovely! Their ice is probably the cheapest around this area and a great little spot to grab some quick items instead of heading into Huntsville!”
“This gas station has become a very clean and maintained location. This gas station is a dump. The only Shell station around, we use Shell gas. The area around the pumps is messy most of the time. Snow and slush and puddles, garbage on the ground, garbage container full. MAINTENANCE AROUND PUMPS IS NON EXISTENT. If I can get gas out of town I will wait. I don’t do many reviews but this place is a dump.”
“Friendly service I have ever encountered but also the most expensive prices I have ever seen… $7 for a large bag of chips!!! ? such is life in cottage country I suppose ?”
“If you thought full-serve fuel was a thing of the past, come here. Yes, it's a 24/7 cardlock, but during weekdays (hours posted) they have some really awesome, friendly folks who will fill your tank in the rain and snow just so you don't have to get out of the car. Not only that, but they often have the lowest prices in town.#1 station in town. Shame on those who complain!”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades. The company plans to add 120 stores during the current fiscal year. Its previous plan, launched in 2023, delivered more than 500 new stores and earned the company a spot in the S&P 500.

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. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
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. More locations are planned for Taylor, Warren, and Macomb Township, each employing around 30 people, mostly full-time.
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.
