“Restrooms are always clean! Easily accessible when traveling south on Hwy 146.. Reasonable price on everything in the store. The main reason I stop here is for the authentic breakfast Mexican tacos they are the best!!!”
“Bakery DepartmentAnd who said "Old Fashion Customer Service" was dead? I recently ordered a Birthday Cake with a BLACK PANTHER theme. The ordering was easy. The scheduling was made within a few minutes on a late afternoon on monday, and off I went home. I was picking up the cake on Wednesday morning. The following day, I received a phone call there was a discrepancy with the chosen decorative topping I chose ( there were two options). No problem, I'll go with the other one, i was okay with it but not excited about the decision. A few hours later I received another call, it was the same lady from the prior call, she was so lovely. She told me she understood the importance of a festive birthday cake and she and her staffed looked for a better Black Panther decorative option and found one! They saved the day!! The demeanor of the communication from the Bakery Deptartment was genuine and eager to please. The cake was so delicious. And the Black Panther decorations rocked!”

“I go here like 5x a week cause its right by my house. Cashiers are always nice and they have a good selection for being such a small store. Plus they remember my brand of cigarettes andni just have to say "2 packs please" and they know what im talking about. Super friendly”

“These guys get five stars from me because there are open 24hrs and their gas is less than all others near them. I would slap a four star because the night shift guy is so rude and paranoid which makes for a discomfort. But when you need what you need in the middle of the night, it works. Quality of gas is good. However, they only supply regular unleaded; no midgrade nor premium is available. You can pass time here and play slot games Or buy a t-shirt I'd needed. It's a versatile corner store.”

That is really nice.”

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.
