“This is a really convenient location, full-service, and more importantly can get you in on the spot for basic services such as a tire changeout, which took about 20-30 minutes, depending on their schedule -- just call and ask. I work in the capital complex and have left my car there and they were done in a few hours for an oil change a tricky repair that they easily remedied for an extra $10 for a completely rusted out battery terminal. Know that this is a mechanics shop, so as we all know they spend the money in the shop so you can't really stay for hours. Anyway, always friendly, skilled and fair in cost.”

“After a long day, it was one, of only a few places still open at 11:00pm. The store was clean, with a large variety of products and at 11:20pm, the clerk was very helpful and pleasant.”

“I really like the employees here. I go here a few times a week and it’s a very consistent experience. I’m not a fan of Cumberland’s farms drinks and the prices for drinks that aren’t their brand are out of control. The Company prices normal things higher to get you to buy their brand it feels like. Still this location has great employees and I will pay a little extra for great customer service!!”

“Full service gas station! They pumped the gas and cleaned our windows for the same (very reasonable) price per gallon! What a pleasant surprise! Best gas station service I’ve experienced in my life!”

“Owner came out to pump the gas for me and I enjoyed the chat. Nice to see an “old fashioned” gas station that could do some emergency work on your car if you needed it. Great place to check the fluid levels and air pressure before a longer trip.”

“Paul is the most generous and kind human I've met in this business. We were quite tired from our road trip and his professionalism, friendliness, and ready posture to help helped us through the last leg of our trip. Come get your gas and stuff here, it's worth stopping by.”

“Best gas station I think I've been into for a real long time. Good people, prices, products, and selection. I updated the hours of the store but the Pumps seem to be open 24hrs for pay and go.”

“The woman who works the morning/day shift is absolutely divine. Never have I met a kinder soul. Absolutely love her and wish everything well for her. The guy with the beard who was training the new kid with dyed hair however…something in the racist vibe. Seemingly had a hard time helping me (a visibly brown woman) and two Asian men; could not bother to answer our questions (I wanted to know if I could swap out a soda I got), but had no problem helping the white dude who wanted to buy boxes of alcohol. With the country’s political climate right now, my family and I came to Stowe to relax so it’s very sad to know that I can’t escape such treatment here.”

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.
