“Wait time was long to pay...we were a large group, plus other customers, the young man working there was alone, greeted each of us with a smile and hello, and apologized for my wait time while he was attending to another customer, it was nice to see manners and respectful!”

“Hey local people and out of towners, get out of your vehicle and go inside the gas station and check it out. Not everyday you will find a gas station like this. Great fuel service, fresh drinks and top-notch vinyl. Damn near road side attraction in itself.”

“I use diesel and often it is a bit of a wait for the trucks. My fuelis opposite most cars, and I need to go in the opposite direction. I have had a couple very rude people see me waiting and pull up to take over, butt in line . I get the Canadian Tire points for purchasing fuel.”

“Never had a problem here, always friendly.. don't go often as it's not really on route anymore.. butt.. I remember getting distracted by an old friend, totally forgot to pay .. but he trusted that I'd be back to pay, which I was. Nothing bad to say at all”

“Driving up to the cottage at 11:30 at night and forgot to fill up at the onroute… genuinely started to panic because all the closest gas stations were closed. Suddenly, the Circle K emerged from the list of google map possibilities and we drove with fingers and toes crossed that it was indeed open 24hrs. THANKFULLY it was and our cottage trip has been saved🙏🏻. Appreciate you Circle K, you saved us from sleeping in a packed car.”

“Make sure to visit the top-rated French fry vendor located next to the building. They offer a wide variety of choices and generous serving sizes. The only downside is that they only accept cash as payment.”

“Dropped in quickly to use the washroom. Friendly staff at both the gas station + Pizza Pizza located next door, as that's where the washroom was located. Both the store were neat and clean. Unfortunately, most public washrooms are poorly maintained, so good to see this one, although not perfect, more than acceptable in the cleanliness department ? I didn't need gasoline, but was surprised to see that they also offer windshield washer fluid via a pump that dispenses what is needed, charging by the litre. At only a dollar per litre, that seemed very competitive, as one would normally see jugs of fluid at most gas stations selling for closer to $8.00 or more for less than four litres. Nothing earth shaking, but good to see. Keep up the good work.”

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.
