“Don’t judge a book by its cover! We were hesitant pulling into this spot, but after seeing the reviews, we decided to just stop. SO glad we did. This was one of the best burgers we’ve had in a long time. The bun even had a slight sweet flavor that just made everything else pop. *chefs kiss*”
“I had ongoing issues with my 2019 Ford F-150 for years and spent thousands at the dealership with no resolution. I took it to Steve Olemeda Exxon, and within a couple of hours they found and fixed the problem. My truck has been running great ever since. Honest, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!”
“They have friendly service provide free air if tire is low and offer amsoil which I think is good stuff especially the fuel additive that'll run u about 25 dollars but well worth it. U will notice instant performance from the lag to full restoration of the motor seriously not bad stuff .”
“I just love this store! Not living in the area I've never been to one, so we decided to check it out. It has everything you could possibly need and more! Fantastic produce aisle, bakery with on site taqueria, daily, fish monger, cheesemonger.Exceptionally clean and well organized store. Huge parking lot with their own security. Clean bathrooms, wide, isles, and plenty of quart wipes.We ended up getting a couple of really fantastic deals on very special California wines in an outstanding beer and wine section.Outdoor area included more than ten different types of charcoals and many more hardwoods for smoking. Spice aisle had more types of special flavoring that I've ever seen in one place in my life! While staying in the area, we came back three times, in many instances not because we needed anything, but just to explore and check this place out. Prices were very competitive, and I wish I had this market nearby where I lived. Highly recommend that you stop in and check this store out for any of your grocery, outdoor, pharmaceutical, and anything else you can think of needs.”
“I like this little store in the community. Convenient. Friendly. Pricing is average comparatively. The only drawback (I don't know if all Times Markets do this) is you cannot pay at the pump. You have to go in to use a CC or Debit card. The card is then charged based on a percentage of the sale. It was just a surprise the first time I used a card. The only and last time I used a card there.”
“This is a very good to shop The scan your self is horrible cause you move bag to put in buggy to make more room it sends to have worker come over there store is pretty much stocked with everything you need. Sometimes you can find workers for help but most of the time it's like they all vanished none of the H-E-B's carry my husband's hot sauce anymore. Dave's insanity sauce, which is disappointing. I always shop at H-E-B.”
“I come here for lunch often and the other day I lost my wallet around the area so the next morning I went to ask about it and Mrs. Debra or Miss Debra was so sweet to me as my wallet was returned to the store and she put it away waiting for my arrival. Going above & beyond for a customer request at work is RARE. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS STORE DOES FOR THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY OR ANYONE JUST PASSING THROUGH... THAT IS ALL”
“Very simple gas station, friendly workers ready to help. The parking lot can be a tad bit dirty but that's common across all of them. Gas pumps and parking spots are distanced enough to allow two-way "lanes" between the two. The only primary issue is homeless people wandering and begging within the parking lot, often times loitering outside camera view. This can be a slight nuisance at times, but the employees are always happy to call the cops if they start harassing or loitering.”
“This gas station usually has some of the cheapest gas prices in town, consistently. Staff is always friendly, and I can't recall a time where I had to wait in a line to pay, if any line, more than 60 seconds. They offer the fuel cleaning additive, makes it so convenient to just do at the pump and mixes with the gas like it should. You don't have to buy fuel injector cleaner, put it in after you use up most of your gas, and fill up your car to mix it, just push a button, start the gas and presto! Plus I love that they offer the HEB brand, cold 20 oz bottles, of coke. They are only something like $1.28 or something like that, and while it's always cheaper to get a 12 packs or case in most instances, it's a lot better than paying $2.50 to $3.50 for a name brand. Thank you HEB!!!!!!”
“Thank You for Your Courtesies and amazing Services ? I may not always have the right change but they sure make it easy on me when I don't and I Thank You Kindly ?”
“I really like this location at rod field and South Padre Island drive. The restrooms are always clean and they have a good selection of snacks. The pumps are really fast and I drive a work truck all day so I'm just letting you know some convenience stores have really slow pumps and it can be aggravating but this location is great. The staff is always polite and courteous no matter how long the line is and even though it is backed up sometimes it takes less than a minute to get through so awesome to them!”
“Sunco will always have my business! they have way better customer service than their rival across the street - circle k. they could definitely teach them a thing or two!”
“This is a smaller store than normal. The pumps are quite further from the entrance than other stores. I came here because of Upside, I used the app to get 20+ cents per gallon back to my upside account. Anyone who drives a fleet vehicle should get the app and start making free money. Overall, it's a decent store.”
“I used to lived 2 blocks away from the corner store. Super polite staff. It's got all your basics as far as a convenience store, not much else. I recommend.”
“This HEB has a disabled man working there, and he has great customer service skills! The man is tries very hard. even though his hands and legs slow him down. The man is number one in my boo!”
“This is the fifth time this same individual closes her register n turns away customers since I stop n wrote this twelve people have been turned away excluding myself ur losing money even thought it's midnight 1240 am may 4 2022”
“Absolutely loves the people here that they are just amazing I'm always walking out with a smile on my face so it just really you know really great prices as well so I actually enjoy making this my One-Stop shop for my convenience store location.”
“I just came in to buy two packs of cigarettes and my friend wanted a big gulp. As soon as we entered, we were greeted pleasantly by 2 employees. I was hesitant about stopping at this location cuz it's not my preference however the two ladies that greeted me made me feel so welcome that I look forward to coming back. It was great! Thank you so much for the friendly and inviting service!”
“Being right of Crosstown freeway and South Padre Island Drive makes it easy to hope off and fill the tank with regular, premium or super unleaded gas. There are 14 pumps offering unleaded or diesel gas. Pump 13 debit/credit card reader was not working yesterday. This allowed me to take a moment to go inside the store. All 3 registers were manned with a friendly, courteous employee. There are shields at each register for employee and customer safety during this active pandemic. I decided to fuel may tank with some chewy candy, Swedish Fish if you must know. The candy aisle was fully stocked. My wait in line was minimal. I was in and out. It was after 5 PM on a Friday so the gas station and store were busy but I found my pump without a wait too. Grounds, pump area and store were clean. I didn't use the restroom so I am not including the restroom in this review.”
“This is the best store ever!!! The 2 young ladies are so bubbly and sweet. I would not go to another store! They need a raise FYI, for all they do as for customer service!”
“Store has everything you need but too many bums begging for money hang around the building. Frustrating at times that you can't just run in and out with feeling like you could get attached. The owner does try but there are just too many.”
“Better price than the rest of the stations in town, just wish there was one closer. Having to drive all the way across town for gas I use more gas getting there than I save by going there.”
“I really like this store. It's always clean and tidy. It can get busy during certain hours but good selection of items and the Laredo Taco Company always looks fresh”
“Able to get gas but problems with credit pay.Had to go inside and credit an amount, fill tank with gas and did not use all the amount I credited so they credited amount not used back to credit card. Liked just putting in credit card and filling gas at pump and not having to go back and forth inside so hope this is not the way will have to pay for gas in future!”
“All the employees are so nice at all hours. One lady was working at about 3am & she had some music playing & it was great, my kinda music. It helps on the job to listen to your music, time flies by, everything gets done, everyone's happy! You go girl!!!”
“Ok so I just wanted to take a minute and say today I went to one of my favorite gas station this morning cause I was craving french vanilla brewed coffee and they use e one of the best lol and I had the absolute pleasure of officially talking and getting names of employees and let me tell you. Ms. Sonia is an absolute pleasure so friendly welcoming and you can tell she absolutely cares about her customers and just by interacting with her and staying in there longer than I normally do and her interactions with not just with me but other guests is just amazing and she is a true definition of a valuable employee and the way an employee should act and then there's Ms Jessica and honestly one is a assistant manager and in my eyes both should be hire ups and my first in impression was i like this chick and that was before i even knew she was from new york lol and let me tell you shes probably the first new yorker i really talked to and liked lol ... she also is a a vision of what employees should be and first let me tell you im a bostonian and a townie and a red Sox fan and pats fan die hard and its in our DNA that we are rivals lol but not in this case then there's Jr and hes awesome sauce and a pibble owner... well anyways I left and came back for my second cup of coffee and breakfast for the pups and taco staff great and food amazing and I sat there and chatted it up with the 3 of them and it made my morning plus Ms Sonya had my cryptonite candy lol yall rock and thank yall for being one of my favorite gas stations”
“I just go for the .79 fountain drink. Can’t beat it and a huge selection as well- they also have cup holders behind the register fortunately as I got 5 drinks.”
“The ladies that work there are the best... The gentleman in the evening as well. I'm a driver and this parking lot is home, please don't disrespect it. ?”

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.
