“This grocery store is a little pricey than the average grocery store, but it is around a tourist area and really the best option than going into Manchester with very dated stores and limited selections or Ludlow, which really is not much better. The town is small but this store has decent selection of goods and very clean compared to others in the area.”
“Friendly people and very prompt service! I am originally from NYC so we were definitely out of our element and stuck. The servicers were on target in their assessment, but unfortunately not able to fix the issue due to incompatibility of software we needed from Mitsubishi dealership directly to program the ignition starter. However, they went above and beyond by calling the nearest dealership and inquiring about the part we would need. We ended up having to leave the inoperable vehicle there overnight until a tow could arrive next day. They didn’t even charge us (fairly certain my husband tipped in lieu of that)! I wish SO MUCH that they could’ve done this vehicle work for us because it’s over 2 weeks now that my car is in the Keene, NH dealership with no sense of urgency… I want to thank the owner and operators of Coleman’s anyway- you came highly recommended by our tow truck driver, and now I see why. Thank you for the advice, assessment, and courtesy the Mitsubishi dealership lacks. My only complaint is that we were not able to deal with only your shop (it also happened to be r es lot far and out of the way from where we were staying, but I think everything in that area is, LOL!)”
“Better than your average convenience store. The deli makes amazing sandwiches and the breakfast and lunch options are awesome! Keep up the good work guys. I stop here daily sometes twice a day! Barb and Shelly do an awesome job and so does everyone in the deli!”
“The best convenience store around. Amazing sandwiches, soups and deli items. Great staff, very friendly and they have all the best items a store like that should have! I'm there almost every day, sometimes twice a day!”
“I wish they hadn't lost their liquor! It's still a great place to stop for beer. I'm fact, after 8:00, it's the ONLY place to stop for beer! They have a fairly decent selection, plus snacks!”

Texas-born Buc-ee's is changing the way people think about gas stations and convenience stores. This chain is known for its huge stores along highways, some with over 100 fuel pumps. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
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.
