“Good tobacco prices here but you'll need to check the date on anything you buy. Foreign owned and operated. So not everything is in date. But that doesn't stop me from coming back”

Definitely recommend this jewel!”

“The cashiers and employees all seem to be trying their best. Corpo Shell needs to invest more in this location. Namely, to get the systems to work together, resolve issues with pump: unresponsive touchscreen, touchless payment module offline, sometimes locks the card in and you can't get it back out and have to wait several minutes, etc etc etc. If Corporate reads this, please work on improving this and the Chilhowie location. Thank you to the nice cashier woman who helped me get my card out of the pump today (11/21/25) Small edit, it's been a couple of months, and I noticed I haven't had issues with paying w/ card at the pump anymore, so maybe they fixed something. Another small edit- I saw today they have white kerosene, and I was able to get 15 gallons worth for my elderly friend. I greatly appreciate this. The Hunt's Brother's pizza inside is also nice, they keep them fresh and warm. I ate two big giant slices and that filled me up for $6.”
“Parents helping parents at its best. We had an accident with our 18month old and it was everywhere. We stopped at the gas station and the help that we received was incredible. It's the little things that matter the most. Thank you all so much!!!!”
“Cleaned up since the last time. I mainly hold the "drivers" responsible when it gets trashed up unless the actual trash is overflowing, etc. Trash was emptied, clean window water for the windows, ok squeegees.”
“20251229 No lines. Pump works great. Prices are not too bad. My friend in TN said Marathon has the best gas, and his car runs very well. Sooo... here I was getting gas from Marathon.”

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.

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.
