“My three kids train here and I can’t recommend it enough. I put them in martial arts because I wanted them to be able to handle themselves, especially my two daughters. What I didn’t expect was how much it would change them outside of class. They’re more confident, more emotionally resilient, and honestly just carry themselves better. Mr. Mischke, Ms. Stockstill and other instructors are the reason. They actually pay attention to each kid. I’ve watched my daughter’s front kicks go from wobbly to solid, and my other two have come a long way with their side kicks. The kids are proud of their progress and it shows. I did taekwondo briefly when I was 8 and mostly remember knuckle push ups on hardwood and getting used as a punching bag by the older students, so I was skeptical. This place is nothing like that. After months of watching from the sidelines, Mr Mischke convince me to train. He told me the hardest part is just getting out on the mat the first time. He was right. I signed up and I’m in better shape than I’ve been in years. Great place for kids, great place for adults, great people running it.”
“Whip In is so much more than a gas station. They have the largest and most unique beer selection in Flower Mound—featuring rare brews you won’t find anywhere else. Their wine section is equally impressive, and the staff is always friendly and happy to help you find the perfect drink. Truly a hidden gem. I love this place!”
“This is my favorite gas station to go to. It has great gas prices and it’s right next to the gym I workout at so I love stopping in and saying what’s up to Shiva (the best employee ever) and grabbing an energy drink. Highly recommend making this spot for your routine-stop gas station.”
“Great service! Had an emergency and my phone had died, the staff there were very helpful to aid my situation and providing quick solutions. They were also very friendly while waiting.”
“We didnt have to wait for a pump. Price is a bit high (a few cents higher than the low price somb ewhere else in FM) unless you use your kroger card or discount which you get from shopping a certain amount there.”
“I do my shopping on the app, show up around the scheduled time, and let them know I’ve arrived and what spot I’m parked in. Someone is usually right out with my groceries and they give a paper receipt along with one in the app. So simple!”
“Nick in the meat department is AWESOME! He is always so friendly and professional and has a willingness to help and make sure I am satisfied with my purchase. Thanks Nick ....”
“Shout out to the meat department!! Love to get their order some snow crab with cajun seasoning and then shop for about 20 min before picking up some steamed crab. Always steam it great and fast. Kroger has great prices on that specialty seafood. Never had any troubles there.”
“Gary and Sherry (hope I remember their names correctly) where a great help, super hospitable and welcomed us with a smile and great conversation. We will be back time and time again.”
“This shell on this evening had a beautiful and super nice young lady working the counter but what blows me away is that I haven't seen a window squeegee sponge AND the window cleaning solution AND the paper towels are any gas station / convenience store in forever , they had it here and I used it and I was grateful I'd give them five stars but nobody's perfect. If you're in flower mound on this road get your gas here clean your windows and wipe your hands”
“My job requires me to make stops at 5 to 10 7-Eleven stores a day, and this one is the nicest, cleanest, and friendliest that I can remember. The owner is very friendly and was helping with stocking shelves, and the other employees were cleaning what seemed to already be a very tidy store. This is a fantastic location, and it’s where I’ll be going to get drinks & snacks from now on.”
“What can I say other than consistency . Usually gas stations have high turnover but I see the same faces today as I did years ago and they are always welcoming the lady up front Stephanie I don’t know if she’s the owner but she should be . She’s always there and always with a smile on her face . My morning coffee wouldn’t be the same without yall !”
“I visit here simply because its nearby. It's semi clean for a gas station, but certainly not the best. I visit here often before workout because they sell my favorite drink "Bang". They have a good selection of them, but they are on the pricey side compared to WinCo. If they would clean up the inside store, i'd give the 5 stars.”
“Gas price is accurate as listed on google maps. I highly recommend Chevron with Techron gas as its one of the best fuels that has fuel cleaner additive for performance, even the 87 octane has it. Keeps the engine on my 21 Mazda cx5 running great even with odometer at 254,000 miles. Download Chevrons app to get discounts. Its part of one of the nice 7-11 store which is great.”
“About 12:06pm I wish I had gotten the person's name. I went in to fill my water cup and get some lunch. Beverage center was dry and clean. And the food area was clean, fresh and stocked. I'm half way done with my lunch and it is fresh. Very polite people at the counter including the person responsible for the clean food area . 10/10.”
“Monday night after a long work day I stopped in and thought I’d get gas. I was on empty and probably couldn’t make it another 5 miles. I was just trying to get home. I live an hour from this 7-Eleven. I realized I left my wallet at home! Seriously started to panic! I noticed the app and thought I could download it and add money to it with my Apple Pay. I asked for help with the app. Manager comes around the corner and started to help me. He tells me that the app doesn’t allow”
“I stop here for gas all the time because their prices are always 10 - 15 cents cheaper than all gas stations around when you use debit. Even cheaper than Kroger's which is right across the street. Went inside a couple of times and had no issues.”
“I got a car, wash.It was the first time I went along and it was a little confusing , but the car came out very nice. You have to drive the car up until you see a sign that says stop.And then just wait there for the cleaning machine to go alongside your car back and forth. When you're done with the wash, it dries the car. But you have to not pull app too far or you exited before you got fully dry.”
“This is my favorite gas station!!! (Dont tell hat guy down the street ;) The staff are super friendly, the selection 😎 🔥, they carry Eternal brand water AND A freaking 🪙ATM!?!?! Haven is a place on 🌎”
“Very friendly gas station! I know that the gas station is not circle k but the convenience store is very nice! Primo is extremely friendly and very hospitable. I will be coming again”

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.
