“I've (up until tonight) never had an issue with this store. Generally very nice cashiers and good atmosphere. Tonight however was running a little behind but still had nearly 10 minutes before 12 (closing time) went up to the door, which was already locked and attempted to nicely ask the male cashier that since there was nearly 10 minutes left if he would please quickly ring us up for a pack of smokes before shutting down the register. He wouldn't even open the door to attempt to assist in answering the question either way and instead shook his head and gestured with his hands he was still closing, even early. I understand 10 minutes is 10 minutes but it was also lost money and a customer who now feels they were treated very rudely”

“Customer who turned in my lost (dropped) credit card to the folks at the gas station desk today (7-31-25) I'm truly truly grateful. THANK YOU! Folks running the gas station desk, BIG HUGS for keeping my card safe until I figured where I must have dropped it and came back to get it. By the way, this has been my family's number one local gas station for the past 7 years and will continue to be. Always someone nice behind the front desk. The gas has been good and never caused our three vehicles any problems and the price at the pump is frequently better than in two neighboring towns. We appreciate you folks.”

“Love this location & come here often. Their gas pumps are actually OPEN 24/7 even though their store closes at 11pm M-F & 10pm Sunday's. This is extremely convenient in a town where gas stations close early. They also usually have the lowest prices for gas and their staff is friendly and helpful. They really go above & beyond. I also like the fact that they hire a lot of former military personnel. Highly recommend this location.”

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.
