“Overall, a decent place to purchase gas, and some convenience items on the go. However, the place can become quite congested at times, and several pumps may be taken off line at any given time; thus creating a shortage of pumps that are available. Just look for the yellow bags covering the pump, before pulling in, and shutting of your vehicle.”

“Wayne Jenkins, Propane Supervisor, helped me to get out of a very dangerous situation. The propane tank of my motorhome was filled by a campground manager. He couldn't close the tank anymore and propane was hissing out of the tank. After one hour he said I can now drive because only air is coming out of the tank. I drove 30 miles to Campingworld in Winchester, VA. The manager there looked at my motorhome and said he can't help me and didn't know who could. Amerigas in Winchester denied help too. I called Southern States in Stephens City, VA and Wayne offered immediately help. He was shocked because not air was still hissing out of my tank but propane. A spark could easily have caused an explosion or the heat of my engine while driving. He put immediately an adapter on the tank and the bleeding stopped. I am a 72 year old woman and was frightened to death. But no one was willing to help but Wayne. Thank you so much Wayne!”

“Easy on and off from 81 with fast food places (Arby's, Taco Bell, KFC, Subway) nearby. Never have to wait for a pump and never more than one person ahead of me inside. Easier for me to get in and out of than Sheetz on the other side of the exit. Last trip I found a Flying Dog summer seasonal that has been sold out everywhere else. Expect hard to find southern hospitality in Northern Virginia. Friendly workers so if you are offended by being called "darlin" this may not be the place for you. The store has a good amount of items for the size but it is pretty narrow aisles and some junky things. Bathrooms are on the outside and can be pretty dirty at times. It'll continue to be a weekly stop for me on my way to WV.”

“I accidently found this small independent truckstop twice. WHILE MAKING THE SAME WRONG TURN. It clean, the parking is free, and the folks are nice. There is a really good restraunt right next door.”

“I have been with Freedom Ag and Energy for a couple of years. I found out I was moving and called in and spoke with Larry and i was able to arrange a heating oil delivery with the driver Mark. I was also able to speak with Mr. Hassler to get on the books to schedule to get my propane tanks moved to the new property. The two gentleman named Brian and Harry came to my house and moved the propane tanks and heater fast and efficient! Thank you so much for making my move stress free and simple! Outstanding service with a remarkable team!”

“Exceptional customer service! Every member of the staff at this location is amazing! My husband and myself will go out of our way just to go to this location because we know we will be treated like family and with kindness and not have someone rude. They truly are the reason we come to this store.. and the cookies because they are delicious! But by far the best customer service around and its not just one member or the team its everyone!!”

“Always able to get quick service. The men's bathroom was unacceptably dirty my last two visits however. But that's an anomaly since I've been stopping here every few weeks for the last 4 years”

“I frequent this business often although I don't go in the store during these times. I do purchase gas and use the drive up of the DD. Many times I will park and drink my coffee in their parking lot so I have had plenty of opportunity to observe. I will tell you that this station is extremely diligent about its appearance. They walk the lot daily picking up trash or butts left by their customers. They empty the trash barrels before the point of overflowing. They have a person come in frequently to wipe down the pumps with some kind of cleaning product. They are doing what all businesses should be doing. THANK YOU!!!”

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.
