“Good spot to fill up, prices are usually some of the better ones around. Easy to get in and out and there’s usually a decent amount of pumps. Having the HEB right there is a plus too if you need to grab anything quick. Can get busy at times, but overall pretty reliable.”
“I've pumped my own gasoline before, so I knew it wasn't me, but I couldn't get the gas pump to work. Fortunately, Sam's had a woman on duty who came over to help me. She checked out the pump, said there was a slight glitch, fixed it, and I was able to start pumping my gas. I truly appreciated her help as I had just come from the dentist and had a cheek full of Novocaine. I'm just glad she was there and was able to help me.”
“Go for the amazingly clean bathrooms. Stay for the incredible variety of food and endless items for purchase. It's a Texas thing. Also some pictures of our pups 🐕”

They even had kind of a waiting room area where you could sit and read while you charge your device. And, there were plenty of options to choose from in the store. A most excellent experience.”
“This review is based on the gas pump experience. So... I already had one really good 7-Eleven gas run experience at another 7-Eleven about 2 hours away a few days before. Days later, Hubbers and I were on our way from Buc-ees nearby when we realized we needed to make another gas run. We made comparisons, and this one (in comparison to other gas stations sorta nearby enough) was cheaper. Sure, it was a couple of cents cheaper, but cheaper nonetheless. Like the last 7-Eleven pump run, it asked if I have a phone number associated with the 7-Eleven app which I did. And like that last run, just having that phone number ended up saving me an extra $0.11c/gal discount. So it turns out, this place really is way cheaper than ones anywhere else near the vicinity - simply just for being a 7-Eleven app user! Was it a good run?! Yes. Was it a good cheap-gas run?! ABSOLUTELY. I don't visit this 'hood often enough, but the next time I come through, this place for gas refill will be first on my radar.”

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.
