“I am a dedicated regular. The owners are wonderful people. I go nowhere else. They stay open the latest on the peninsula. Witch is the greatest when everything is closes between 8-10pm.”

“Their prices are reasonable. A lot better than before. Because of the location I can understand. Except I was very surprised after being away for some time! Always great curtiouse service and awesome, cool stuff!”

“Love the staff at this Exxon, they know my husband & I pretty darn well by now & frequently chat with us during our visits to actually take a minute to ask how our week was or what's been going on with us today?! It's a forgotten quality in business these days to truly know your customers but this place has taken the time to consistently employ decent people that treat people decently...Lol but for real though at the same time. We love & mostly frequent local businesses staffed by local folk that know the names of their neighbors, customers & the items/activities relevant to them. It's an underrated value that we appreciate here! They have a flippin fantasticly large selection of everything really here as well as a section to the right with bunches of beachy, fishy, travel like items in abundance with beach clothes racked up that are actually super cute sometimes & well priced! Their sunglasses & little accessories are super cute sometimes as well .. I have bought a few little fanny packs there that were durable, cheap priced but not quality & that I still all use to this day on my runs/bicycling outings. They have a spot in the back with super duper good Mexican food that is quick, well made & consistent from what I've seen. Their bathrooms legit always clean too which I love. Gotta big ol walk in cooler with tons of different beer too & got out crab traps up there a few times which are all still going great out by the boat! Everything we've gotten there doesn't seem like it came from a gas station not was it priced like it which - another underrated value in businesses that they have! It's really the best big 24 hour gas station over here on east/ferry side.. there's a couple great little local gas stations but this is the big one with like everything in it that's always open. Good row of gas pumps & space for parking & easily accessible on corner of Ferry Road & Harborside - can't miss it. It's one of the only two gas stations we go to on East side of island - We're very picky about what products we purchase, where we purchase them & from whom the services/products are run/manufactured by (Go local!) for starters along with many other qualities we consider when we shop so... Yeah this one checks all the boxes. Lol. Good place to spend your money & great for a quick stop being 24/7 with enough shit to be a Bucees damn near! Good folks, good location, good selection, good prices & good cleanliness always seen here!”

“Good service overall, though I’m not the biggest fan of their bathrooms. Still, it's my go-to gas station since I’m staying nearby at Beachside RV Park. The park’s in a great spot near the beach and offers 20/30/50 amp hookups, along with water and sewer.”

“We stopped here to fill up with gasoline. Their fuel prices are very reasonable and the pumps work well. Their restrooms are large, clean and well kept. I was surprised at how many items they had for sale inside. They also have a taqueria inside the building with hot food items.”

“The staff at Valero is definitely friendlier than the other gas station nearby. I usually come here to fill up since it’s just 5 minutes from Beachside RV Park, where we’re staying. It’s a great RV park with screened guest pavilions, perfect for family and friend gatherings. Plus, you can’t beat how close it is to the beach!”

“They carry HI-CHEW!! This place pretty much have everything you need for the beach. Bikinis, kites, watershoes, water board, buckets, shovels, nets, tee shirts, beanies, beach nags, caps, straw hats, phone cords, car charging ports, sunglasses, fishing rods, fishing nets, goggles, etc. Koozies (look up over cashier). Check out Curry Lounge inside. It was crazy busy when I came in to place an order.”

“My wife was having trouble with her vehicle while I was away and the owner came out and helped throughout the process until her vehicle was running again. He was kind, patient and offered solutions. Very thankful for him!”

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. The system creates a more interactive environment, fostering friendly competition between stores.
