“Today I went to Brookshire’s in Bonham for my big grocery trip of the month. I filled the buggy over the top! I was met at the checkout by the kindest young man named Marquez. He was friendly and very fast. An older gentleman named Lee was bagging my things. We had a wonderful time visiting while he loaded all my things into two buggies. Lee and another man pushed my groceries to the truck and loaded them with great care. Thanks guys for a wonderful day shopping!!”
“Goodness I tell yawl, if you need gas or any automotive item, STOP here! Also because there are so many eateries in this very short length of space you'll definitely have your choice, BUT TXB/Exxon has great food options including healthy (personally I love their salads and banana pudding because I don't like banana slices in my banana pudding and theirs doesn't have them is a BIG plus for me they taste great and are addictive!). TXB has reasonable pricing BUT the absolute BEST part of this location is the cashiers specifically 2 that need to be recognized and shouted out. #1 Devin, who works the night shift and is always polite, helpful and informative. His wife used to be at this location and was just as much of a joy to come in contact w/. The #2 person (forgive me guys because I don't remember her name but i swear I'm going to find out and come update/edit my comment) but she's an absolute joy to have an interaction w/ she's also informative and knows her store. She's also always polite. She helped me to even find a job. I'm new to this area and know no one so this was life changing. I believe a business is only as good as its employees and how they represent it. If they did a commercial for TXB these individuals should definitely be in it! I promise you the stop at this location will be an experience! I absolutely LOVE going here.”
“Mandy is a sweet and caring person. She always greets her customers many by name and has such a wonderful attitude, which to me makes her a star in customer service!”
“The staff here are always very kind and helpful. Very well maintained and stocked convenience store and easy access fuel station including diesel fuel and performance fuel. Pay for air station also on premises. They so have a variety of adult beverages for sale as well. Stop here regularly to play the lottery.”
“I love the Murphy Oil stores, not the walk-up gas stations. I feel safer going into an actual store when I get gas at night. I know Denison and Sherman only have the walk-up gas stations. The clerk who rang me up was very nice. The store and outside by the pumps were clean and trash free. I'll definitely be coming back to this location.”
“I can't say how amazing these employees are. We were there 10/19 -10/22 2026. From Caroline, Allen, Amy and everyone that was there each day was so helpful ans cooked some great food for us. They were so helpful locating things in the store and giving directions. We felt at home, but were there on vacation. These people take pride in their jobs. We were very impressed. Look forward to our next trip there.”
“This is a great little no hassle kind of place. The people are friendly and professional, the beer & cokes are cold and the gas pumps don't have you waiting half an hour. I will say kudos to them cuz they consistently operate just the kind of place that it's pleasurable to patronize after a hard day's work. Keep it coming guys (and gals)!”
“Owner is one of the nicest most helpful people you will meet I strongly recommend stopping here very truck friendly. TRUCKS do not pull out of the fuel pump onto highway 56 if you have a bellydump trailer or any trailer that sits lower to the ground or if you have faulty landing gear that you can't roll all the way up. I pulled in off 121 entrance to get fuel and mistakenly pulled out onto highway 56 with my bellydump and got stuck, police arrived in 5 minutes had to block traffic and 2 wrecker $550 pulled me forward taking 5 minutes and damaged my rear hopper in the process. If you get fuel I'd advise you make a right and go around to building and the gas pumps and pull out that exit onto 121. Both exits on 56 are super steep and you can see the indents in the pavement from multiple trucks getting stuck there. The police told me that happens all the time but there isn't no sign warning anyone so just pull around the store. Other than that cheap fuel, good food and always friendly people that work there including the owners are super friendly.”
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.
