“The employees here are helpful and the gas is consistently cheaper than most gasoline stations nearby. The lines for gas tanks on the right hand side is always shorter so use that line if you are in a hurry since the dispenser is long enough to reach the gas tanks on the left hand side of your vehicle.”
“Alzer's BBQ impressed me with their halal moist brisket. Tender, flavorful, and a delightful twist on traditional BBQ. Friendly staff and a warm ambiance made the experience even better. Highly recommended!”
“Always the best gas station around; food and snacks and drinks. Their selection of tea from Fountain drinks is fantastic. The kitchen makes great fresh pizza and sandwiches and breakfast!”
“The gas station is satisfactory, although the gas prices are somewhat elevated. However, the restaurant, Vista Ridge Grill, located within the establishment, is of exceptional quality.”
“Amazing and Super Friendly Gas Station Staff!!! The older gentleman who works in the mornings is a one of a kind gem. He is super friendly, and very kind to my Autistic daughter. We love this little gas station.”
“Great place to meet up before/during/after Lime Creek runs. Shell gas (the best), a clean, well-stocked cooler and shelves, tables and chairs and tv for killing time, and friendly staff.”
“Shyanna is truly exceptional as an assistant manager at QuikTrip! Not only does she have a great personality that makes everyone feel welcome, but she also remembers the simple things about what we get, showing how attentive she is. What really stands out is how she remembers details about customers' lives, making each visit feel personal and special.”
“This is our favorite place to get gas. Exxon, one of the best gas companies. Very reasonable prices. Inside they have lots of different things. Very convenient on corner of 1431 and Bell Blvd.. coffee is pretty fresh too!!”
“I like this store, decent gas prices! Clean bathroom. Things to snack on, drinks an other items u may need! The only thing u may have a problem with is, traffic, sometimes it hard to get back on road!”
“The location is convenient and price is competitive, but sometimes there are pumps that have a bag on them so they are not for use. Things break, I get it, but the broken pumps should be more visible without having to drive up to the pump. I do like that this location has the fuel additive.”
“Since moving to Texas thirteen years ago, this has been our grocery store. The first thing that we noticed is that prices were lower than in Massachusetts so that was a pleasant surprise. But this review, today is about the employees; Collectively, they are so darn nice !!!. They were there for us all through the covid days (They still are). They keep this old store immaculately clean and each and every one of them are helpful to a fault. I can't think of any business that is so consistently striving for perfection. I sincerely thank you for all that you do.”
“I see a lot of old negative reviews here about this place. I can't speak to how it was 3 years ago, and tbh I'm never there after 9 pm, so idk if they close early. I DO know I've never had a bad experience here. The employees are all very nice and professional. Some are more friendly than others, but none of them are unfriendly. The place is always clean. The floors are clean. The restrooms are clean. They have a great wine selection, and I love that they carry products you wouldn't expect at a gas station like Horizon Organic milk for my baby and Kerrygold butter. Sometimes, there are long lines as they get busy, but they've always moved incredibly fast. If the line is held up, it is probably the customer doing it. They also have an amazing taco place inside. ? It's pretty good! We've lived in this area for almost a year now and we go there regularly because we like it. As for the gas, I'd say prices are reasonably competitive. They could use a better soap pump in the women's restroom as the one they have doesn't let out much, and I don't think they have a changing table (which would be nice as I've needed it before there). But otherwise, we're happy with the place. It's convenient, clean, has a great selection, and is 5 minutes from us, so we have no complaints.”
“Thank you Jared! I’m literally just a girl when it comes to running out of gas in the middle of Whitestone- the store manager Jared came to my rescue with a gas tank and helped me fill my gas enough to make it to the gas station in the middle of the day… because of you I’m safe, cannot be more grateful! ??”
“I got gas really cheap with their app it helped out so much!! we also got drinks there it was so organized and the atmosphere was so pleasant! The guys there were great!! I recommend it to everyone!!”
“The price of this gas station is very economical in the area! I had to use it around 5:20 AM and they were already up and working! Love it ? Will stop by again!”
“The Texas express market is a convenience store on the south west side of Parmer. It’s attached to a gas station, and next door to an unaffiliated car wash. Inside is a small grill that sells some tacos, sandwiches, and wings. Beyond that it’s a pretty standard convenience store.”
“This is a great QT. I find that it runs smoothly every time I come in. I love the coffee bar, and the multiple creamers that are available. Like all QTs, the employees work well checking us out from both sides of the register, which I appreciate.”
“I love this place. It’s a wonderful environment to get gas and go and whatever else you might need they’re always helpful. The employees are helpful. Such a great place and the gas is cheap and that’s good.”
“Litterraly hands down the best gas station with the best service I've ever been to. It helps that the vibes and music are immaculate, and you instantly feel awesome like you're in a better world walking in here”
“Pretty good selection with an awesome taco spot incorporated within a lil pricey but u get what u pay for, pretty much. Well, as far as the food's concerned anyways.”
“I go to the store for coffee ☕? and the Teller Rakesh greets me and welcomes me like family!!!; The store is very clean ?? and inviting. Thanks ? for everything and all the hard work ?!!!!!! Scott”
“I come here frequently just to gas. It's close by my work. I've never had any issues here, not sure why they have low reviews. I also go in to buy Red Bull right now they have a special buy 2 get one free! The cashier at the front told me to grab another one on my way out which I was grateful for!”
“Ethanol free gasoline is still sold here. Just an FYI since the last post stating this was over 5yrs ago. This type of gas is sometimes preferred by higher performance small engines like dirt bikes or pressure washers. It was a little under $1 extra. 90 octane.”
“well, this place is awesome. Me and the Homies go over there with our big fat wallets. My dumb friends with her my dumb friends we ride our bikes over there. We got like 45 candy bars. it's kind of been a neighborhood trained to go to food box The cashier guy which is basically my buddy gave me a lollipop for free, because how often I go over there wonderful place feels like Disney world to me.”
“Food box has great service and great selection of beer, snacks, vapes and cigarettes etc. The ONLY reason I do not give it 5 Stars is because the Gas Prices are high. The prices are high simply because of the convenient location plus supply and demand. Being that The Food Box is one of the closest corner stores to the northern boat launches of Lake Travis with gas; in my opinion this is to be expected considering said circumstances. Nothing against them and I do shop the store regularly. I hope this is helpful! God bless!”
“What can I say about these guys? A true neighborhood store. They know their customers, the customers know them. I've even borrowed tools from them and returned them a day later.....these guys are simply the best, and if you're fortunate enough to have them as your local C-store, let them know I said so. They deserve every star.”
“It’s a lil robot contraption that you sit all your stuff on and it’ll ring you out. I just went on for gas & I needed a quick bite to eat the sandwich was really good. Great gas prices”
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. The truck stop company will upgrade its stores through its Strategic Remodel Initiative, which started in 2022. This includes the modernization of its recently acquired turnpike location in Stroud, Oklahoma. By 2035, over half of Love's 655 stores will be either new or updated.
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.
