“One quiet afternoon, when hunger came gently knocking, I drove to Royal Farms Colmar in search of something simple to eat. For a few moments, I stood there hesitating, wondering what I should choose. Finally, I decided on fried chicken, potatoes, and a glass of cold Coke. Carrying the meal back to my car, I sat alone in the parking lot and began to eat in the stillness of the afternoon. And then came the surprise. The chicken was extraordinarily delicious — fresh, warm, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. During my stay in Florida, I had tasted many kinds of fried chicken, yet none carried the same flavor and freshness that I found that day at Royal Farm in Colmar. Sometimes happiness arrives in very simple forms: a warm meal, a quiet car, an unexpected taste, and kind customer service that makes a stranger feel welcomed. One day, I will return again to Royal Farms Colmar — not only to taste the delicious chicken once more, but also to remember the warmth and sincerity I experienced there. Success always follows places that serve people with heart. Success, Royal Farm.”
“Wawa is always my go-to stop when I’m on the road. The store is clean, well-stocked, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The food is fresh, the coffee is consistently great, and the mobile ordering process makes everything quick and convenient. Whether I’m grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a snack, Wawa never disappoints. Highly recommend!”
“The service provided met all expectations. I ended up spending money for a battery that was under warranty, it’s was partly my fault But I wish someone at the shop would have caught it. It’s wasn’t cheap.”
“Reasonable price to change the belt on my Honda. Great experience! They got me in and out quickly, the staff was friendly and professional, and everything was handled smoothly. I really appreciated the great service and would definitely recommend this shop!”
“Took my car in for a check engine light, and they squeezed me in, no problem, diagnosed the problem and had it all fixed up a couple days later. Would recommend.”
“John has done work on my 2005 Honda Element for about 3 years now. It has 257,000 miles on it. He installed a low mileage engine last year. It is FWD so he recently replaced both front axles. He’s also worked on the brakes, installed a new exhaust system, and numerous other projects. Recently I drove my element on a 1300 mile round trip to Asheville, NC. I went between 80 and 85 mph most of the way on I81. It runs like I remember the thing running in it’s first year of life back in 2005. He has basically rebuilt my entire vehicle except for the transmission. I highly recommend Marchione Auto Services.”
“Excellent, quick and reliable service. TireRack authorized partner for tire installation, mounting and balancing, and disposal of old tires. Upfront and transparent about charges. This is my go to auto service location for both my cars. I have also been here with a flat tire caused by a nail and they had me in and out in minutes! North Penn Auto Service on Valley Forge comes highly recommended!”
“All the staff , especially Wendy and Rich are amazing! They were very friendly, prompt with returning calls, kept us up to speed with truck being dispatched and recommended a great company to do some repairs on our tank. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.”
“I’ve been going to Hassan’s for years. Moe is honest, friendly and always willing to help. He will not overcharge because he learned from his father (Hassan) that you ALWAYS treat the customers right. If you need a repair, and don’t know where to go, trust that Hassan’s will give you the best price and service!”
“Everyone at Jim's was very nice and helpful. I think it was a good experience,car runs great and the price was real good. It was a pleasure doing business with all of them. Definitely would do business with them again. Thanks for a good job ?”
“Needed gas and it was the first gas station I found. Really great prices for the gas, lowest that I've seen around. Large, nice looking convenience store that looks large enough to have more than just the standard smaller place (bigger than 7-11). I didn't go inside, just stayed at the pump.”
“Been meaning to get in here for awhile. Finally got a chance and was not disappointed.I got the crispy bbq chicken sammich with bacon and cheddar. Highly recommend.”
“We have used JC Steinley for oil delivery for years and we’re glad to see that they offered heater service as well. We just had Terry & Kyle out from JC Steinley for a tune up. Our boiler had been neglected for a few years, so this is the first service we have had on it since moving in. Terry was kind and courteous, and right on time. He was able to evaluate the heater quickly. He took the time to explain how the different parts of the heater worked and what needed to be replaced (which was a lot due to the years of neglect). He didn’t make us feel like a burden and had all the supplies he would need ready to go. As first time homeowners we are used to getting lectured about what needs to be done and what we haven’t been keeping up with (you don’t know what you don’t know), but Terry helped us to understand the factors that we have control over (like bi-annual service to ensure things are running smoothly) versus what we don’t (the age of the home/chimney, how malfunctions in heater intake can lead to increased soot and poor performance) without making it feel like a lecture, which I really appreciated. He also made some recommendations on local tradesman we can call to service our chimney. He brought Kyle in as backup once he realized the scope of the job, and Kyle was also very efficient and patient. We are very lucky to have a company close by that we can trust. So grateful to Terry for his help!”
“Lots of pumps here. Cheapest gas in the area. I don't think I have had to wait for more than a few minutes to get my gas. Once I get my gas then if I want I go in and do some shopping easy peasy”
“Britain One Stop has literally everything you could need. The gentleman who owns it has put his blood sweat and tears into making this store unique! From the outside it may just look like a Gas station, however you can get a little bit of everything here! It’s so convenient- they recently put in an entirely new Car Wash from top to bottom, a Private Cigar room featuring only the high end cigars to start off your weekend with, Drinks for all ages, last minute house hold items, the late night item that you can’t get because the grocery store is closed, the sugary snack your teen has been bugging you for, EVERY KIND IF VAPE PRODUCT OUT THERE!! If there is something you frequently are looking for- just ask. The gentleman is more than happy to help you! My kids wanted some flavor of PRIME and he had it ordered! This store has been thriving in New Britain & it’s always busy!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Jason and his Glemser Bros. Auto shop! As an out-of-town motorist whose engine unexpectedly blew up, I was stressed, stranded, and facing some very tough decisions. Jason went above and beyond in every possible way. From the start, he was incredibly honest and patient, taking the time to clearly explain my options—whether it made sense to repair the engine or walk away and purchase a different vehicle. He never pressured me, never rushed me, and most importantly, he gave genuinely excellent advice even when it meant he wouldn’t gain any business from the situation. That level of integrity is rare! Jason treated me like a person, not a paycheck. He listened, answered every question, and helped me think through a major financial decision with clarity and confidence during a really difficult moment. If you’re looking for a mechanic you can truly trust—someone knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical—Jason is the one. I can’t recommend Glemser Brothers Auto highly enough.”
“Had a great experience getting my car repaired here. The team was honest, professional, and explained everything clearly without any pressure. The work was done on time, the pricing was fair, and my car is running perfectly now. It’s hard to find a repair shop you can truly trust, and this one definitely earned it. Highly recommend!”
“BIG thanks to Bergey’s !? i love this place and i love my F-150? and special thanks to the girl that make this happened, Yara Bespalyuk, she was very nice and very PRO? NO1 ,and also special thanks to the F&I Manager Ben Walsh?,you guys are doing amazing job❤️”
“Honest & Reputable Family Run Business. Reasonable Rates, Thorough Estimates/Inspections Prior to Repairs Performed/Authorized by Car Owner. Excellent Repairs/Car Service in a Timely Manner. Super Customer Service--Friendly & Caring. Come in, & Meet Your Local Small Business Partners--Vince & Denise!”
“This is the nicest gas station in the area- the trash cans are never full and there are always towels readily available by the pumps. I go here for the top tier gas.”
“This is a nice little convenience store and gas station that I pass by on my way to work. They have Sunoco fuel and that's a good thing. Importantly to me, the Sunoco app works at this location, giving me the in-app fuel discount. The windshield washing squeegees are usually in good shape, but they never seem to have any paper towels out there. The workers inside have been friendly the few times that I've gone in. It's on a smaller lot, but I haven't had any problems getting to the pumps.”
“I appreciate that they stock roll your own tobacco. Hard to find around here and the price is the best I've come across. Been buying here for a few weeks now.”
“#1 place to get all your paperwork done on your new vehicle! Super nice staff and very knowledgeable. They also have an excellent mechanic shop so basically you have your one stop for all your vehicle needs!”
“Hannum’s is a great autobody shop in the area! Every experience I have had taking my car in for various reasons has been excellent. Bob delivers quality work at fair pricing. His assessments are honest and straightforward and explains your options before work is started. His services are always completed quickly, even with unscheduled issues that come up. I will continue to bring my vehicles here and would highly recommend Hannum’s to anyone!”
“If you're a member of BJ's this place often has the best gas prices around. If you go first thing in the morning or late at night you're usually in and out but weekends are always busy.”
“My heater went down, I called PVG, left message, Ruthie called back very quickly, they sent Tim out a couple hours later who was a straight up stud at his job. He was polite, knowledgeable and didnt mind my questions. He had my until up in running very quickly. Props to Tim, Ruthie and PVG for being there when I was in a desperate situation.”
“Regular gas was 2.799 here, while Wawa across the street was 2.95 per gallon according to their sign. When it comes to gasoline, price is usually the deciding factor on where to go!”
“They are professional and polite people. The food inside is also good, and their gas prices are always really competitive. It is one of my hidden gem stations in my opinion. Highly recommend this one.”
“My young daughter and I go into the Gulf station convenience store every day, sometimes more than once. They take such good care of us and are so kind. I won’t go anywhere else!”
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.
Love's Travel Stops is starting 2025 with ambitious growth plans, adding 20 new stores and updating 50 current locations across the country.

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.
