“Good fuel price when you’re a Kroger Reward member. It’s convenient to get some gas when you go grocery shopping at Kroger. Usually clean. Only downside is there was a long hair guy, not sure is homeless or not, come behind my car and asking money and got upset when I told him I don’t have any changes with me. Hopefully Kroger can do something so customers won’t get startled by an angry guy when we fill up the tank.”

“These guys are wonderful the only station in Texas I think where they will pump your cash for you if you are a senior or disabled I would pass up a station with a cent or so cheaper gas for their service”

“4 stars for being one of the cheapest gas stations on the island! We use Gas Buddy app to help us with gas prices and here we are again at the same spot. Across the street was Murphy / Walmart which was 1 cent cheaper... but we used our Valero card here which also gives us a discount so win win for us! I assume this price is the reg, as this was our experience April 2023 which was the same as Dec 2020. We filled up both times. It's small, parking lot is small. I didn't even go in so I can't tell you what it's like on the inside.”

“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!”

“Very nice gentleman at the cash register. I didn't see prices listed on anything in the cooler. Was a bit shocked 2 pepsi and 2 bottled Starbucks were over 16. But I didn't want to drive into town farther. I know for next time. The inside was clean and had an arrangement of items they sold.”

“Best price on bagged ice on the island. This place is always clean, and the staff is polite. Their prices on drinks and snacks are extremely decent - the same 2 men are working every time I go in, they definitely work too much, but they are usually smiling. Someone is always cleaning something, always smells fresh!”

“If I could give them a 10 star, I would it's kind of a small little hole in the wall shop but absolutely fantastic people that work there everybody in the shop Dave the mechanic the lady at the desk the owner Sam absolutely fabulous. The prices are certainly reasonable, but the big thing about it is this guy is very very very honest.

“This convenience store is the best place to buy your everyday needs, Galveston merch, beach equipment, hats, shades, beer, snacks. And I LOVE their hunts brothers pizza. They always keep it at a much cheaper price than any other convenience store nearby. I honestly prefer this over any pizza restaurant on the island. I visit this store multiple times a week and I always put my friends onto their pizza and Galveston Merch!”

They have enough sundry items to accommodate most needs, staff is friendly and they have generous hours - having been open on Christmas and New Year's as well.

“Nicole, Randalls' Employee, distinguished herself by providing excellent service above and beyond what I would ever have expected. After finding my undelivered order from the previous day, Nicole took it upon herself to ensure a customer's order would be delivered. Ignoring any possibility of confronting an irate customer, Nicole fearlessly took responsibility and made contact with me. Nicole's customer relation skills allowed her to calmly and patiently to listen to me tell of my frustrating delivery experience. She then empathized and insured me she would resolve the issue. Nicole's knowledge of the customer order and delivery procedures, allowed her to establish a new delivery time quickly. Then she went beyond the norm, by guaranteeing the delivery, "if needed" would be delivered by herself. After her shift was completed, the order had still not been picked up for delivery. So as promised, Nicole took her personal time to make the delivery to my door. Nicole's integrity and dedication to Randalls and its customers are beyond reproach. Thank You Nicole and also Thanks to the Manager of Galveston's Randalls Grocery Store. (Sorry for the late posting - this happened on the 13-14th of July 2022)”

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.
