“I always receive exceptional, friendly service from the staff at this location! From the full service gas to the cashiers, and the lady at Chester Fried Chicken next door always gives me a warm hello and asks how I'm doing. Definitely a great sense of community every time I come in, plus they have a pretty impressive slurpee selection ?Hey, to the guy asking why they couldn't sell him non-treaty smokes, it's not because they were being racist, like you said right out loud here. They need to purchase cigarettes from vendors and pay the taxes on them for resell, and then purchase separate ones that aren't taxed. The non-taxed ones have a different band on them indicating they aren't taxed. Since the store caters mostly to Status Indians, it makes sense they wouldn't have as many taxed cigarettes as non-taxed ones. If they ran out of non-taxed ones and someone with Status wanted to buy them, that person would have to pay the taxes despite having Status. The taxes are also built into the price, and they can't just add an amount to make up for those taxes, so they legally can't sell those to you. Plus since you're not treaty, there's no reason you can't stop at any of the non-treaty gas stations nearby and buy your carton there. The Co-op one is only a block away.You could have asked the person standing in front of you holding the non-taxed cigarettes about this, btw. Or one of the many "First Nations people you work with on a daily basis"... although I feel sorry for them if you are the kind of person to start yelling "racism" just because you didn't understand or know something about how this system works.”
“Easily have the best slushies in town. The cups are simple but weirdly pleasant to hold and the slush consistency is very nice. Also provide plastic straws which is a bonus, I don't mind paper straws but plastic just FEELS right when it comes to drinking slushies. It's very clean inside and workers are very friendly. The dog wash is really cool too, I like bringing my pups there once in a while to give them a wash.”
“Get place, DEF at the pumps, lots of pumps so not to much of line ups when I was there. Nice clean showers/washrooms. Lots of parking, would have been more for tractor trailer units if all the little body jobs would have parked in the short stalls instead of taking up half of the full length stalls.”
“It was my first time ever putting air in my tires and I wasn’t sure how to and was actually letting the air out. Then when I asked how it worked a employee came out and helped me with it and talked/showed me how it’s done. Very wonderful amazing staff!”
“Wish their receipts on the pump worked and wish they would keep an eye on the cleaning water. I did, however, figure out that if you use the ESSO app you can not only remotely authorize the pump but it emails you a receipt!”
“Great customer service from the cashiers (and supervisor I think). Helped me with a gas order and sorted out the issue with the car wash, turns out our trailer hitch caused it to stop mid wash. Also had the lady come out and help me with taking off the hitch because it was frozen with ice from the wash.”
“This place is amazing. The employees are nice and don't hover you. Their professional and do not profile you unlike a certain liquor store in prince albert. Prices are great! Would recommend coming here because they have a huge selection of liquor. 10/10 so please stop by co-op and pick up a bottle and see for yourself.”
“Car wash is really good and it is cheapest in Prince albert and store is relly neat and clean . And the staff is relly friendly and they always remember you to use your canadian tire money card so you can earn the CT money . Which you can use in future purchase ..”
“Very soft-spoken and professional guy . He helped me at the car wash late at night and made the whole process smooth and easy. He was patient, polite, and genuinely willing to help even at a late hour. Really appreciate his attitude and customer service. Great experience overall!”

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.

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.
