“Scott Barrett from Cenex replaced our Cenex tank we have had for 32 years. Scott did an excellent job. Very efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. Really Great Job Scott.”
“This place is amazing! 100% my favorite gas station in all of the Auburn area! The car wash is amazing too! So many options for snacks! Definitely a great stop for a road trip or just for fun!”
“This fried chicken is seriously bomb. The skin is perfectly crispy, and the meat is so juicy. The seasoning is on point, not too salty or bland. I could honestly eat this all day, every day. Best fried chicken I've had in a while!”
“Ethanol free gas on pump 2. This is the only station I use. The attendant is very kind and helpful.Tip:when you put your card in slide it right back out to read it.”
“Max, the mechanic, was so kind to help me figure out what was going on with my car. I appreciate the help. Thank you Max! I had the cute pup you sent pictures to your girl about. Lol thanks again.”
“I hope this is the right gas station as I'm never in Seattle. So I'm pretty sure my very bad experience was at a Shell station, where after 5 minutes of me sitting at a pump looking at my G maps to get home, he came out and in some language that was not English, he tried to say that I was too long at the pump. So, I won't repeat exactly what I said, and left. I did, however, have a wonderful experience at the 76 station, by the way, where the gas was $4.78, instead of $5- at the place I had just left. The customers were friendly with their cute pearl studded friendly dogs. I was looking for some kind of cake that mightve been a little less fastening than the others and I couldn't read the far grams on one, so I asked the I don't know, Mgr, or owner, some employees to read it for me and they happily did. One put his glasses on to see it, I left mine in the car, and we were all laughing and having fun! Then back to the fun customers who were regulars they mentioned, and I thought, I wanted to live over there somewhere so that this could be my gas station cause it was so friendly and fun. I'm from Nyc, and everyone talk to everyone there. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but it's like the opposite of that here, ... oh you have... yes, well, you can imagine my culture ÿshock 16 years ago when I was unleashed to move close to it! That's a big deal. Go there!There gas and items are useful, and fun! The people are great oh, and for a small store, they pack in a decent amount of goodies and regular food like eggs n sandwiches, think 711. Bye!”
“This store is amazing… the have a wide variety of products from New zeland :lamb, fish, butter, drinks,etc. Their customer service is absolutely wonderful, they are very sweet! First time stopping by and we will definitely come back!!”
“I had a great experience here! This store is always packed with goods and the staff is always friendly. They even gave me a sample of a hot food sold there, which was delicious!”
“Cheapest prices around and the gas does have all needed detergents unlike other cheaper locations. This specific location is the cheapest I have found especially if you pay with cash. Downside is it can get packed”
“I love this particular ARCO , its close to where I live, the gas is much cheaper than the neighboring Chevron/7-Eleven and the Mobile1 across the street. I also really like the staff they've always been really friendly and helpful making sure I get the best possible deal on the store's merchandise.”
“Very good cheap gas prices. Excellent convenient location. Easy in but very difficult to exit on 3rd . Cars come so fast, dont give you a chance & the light at the corner is way too short. Cars pile up so fast in front of you . You can't even move. Very dangerous situation and if you exit on A street then you are in for a very long ride to make a SAFE U turn.”
“Love the price of gas here then other places for the most part. Also, being a member makes a little difference as well. Everything little thing to save money counts these days. Plus, I am just a firm believer that Fred Meyer has better gas then the others. However, that is just what I think.”
“Awesome people, super service and very personable. The owner is a salt of the earth kind of person, he'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. The staff have been working there for years and always greet you with a smile. Highly recommend!”
“Love the staff here especially the Hawaiian lady. She is so awesome and just always a pleasure ....she's always so happy and makes my day better when I encounter her”
“I like this Chevron gas station. It has 12 filling stations, restrooms, and a car wash. It's next to the Coffee Shop, the Outlet Collection mall, Burger King, McDonald’s, and other restaurants and stores. The location is convenient, fast in and out onto the freeway, Highway 167.”
“Very convenient. Provides gas, expected, plus basics. While it's a convenience store, it's very convenient. Coming up Valley (A Street), it's a quick in and out. Between two side streets, there are multiple ways to get in and out. Yea, if you're south bound on A Street, the left turn can be challenging, but there is a traffic light and a left turn lane. It's doable from most directions. Oh, they have bakery donuts, not just prepackaged.”
“Friendly counter guy who also takes order for Chester’s chicken. This petrol kiosk is amazing - they have a Mexican food truck and a coffee drive through behind the building and Chester’s chicken in the shop itself. Happy hour for their coffee is between 11am to 2pm.”
“Quick and helpful cashier. Amazing customer service. She was helping the customer before me when I walked in, and was happy to still say "welcome in" to me. ❤️”
“Every experience we have had here has been wonderful, from the friendly employees to the fresh and hot food. We don't live in the area, but whenever we come to the mall we always stop in here for a quick bite. The employees really do make this a great place though - every order has always been correct, and they are always super friendly even if it is crazy busy.”
“My car broke down (overheated, or I thought) yesterday, and I stopped to see if I can get some water for the reservoir. The anitfreeze/water came right out of the tailpipe, so I new it was something more serious, called a tow truck and waited for 4 hours to get towed. While I waited. Herbie the safeway employee was beyond helpful and amazing. He allowed me to stay inside to keep warm with hot cocoa and good conversation. **** Thank you so very much Herbie and Safeway, you are my hero ***”
“I've worked with CHS for 8+ years, they've always been helpful and friendly, so seeing their rating this low was surprising. Darcy, Chris, Scott and Gary are great to name a few folks”
“Good selection of hot foods & the business is really clean & maintained well. The workers are kind folks. My favorite thing is the bacon egg & cheese breakfast sandwich. The sausage option was a tad spicy.”
“All three gentlemen who work at this location are great. Friendly and kind, will stop what they are doing even in the late hours of the night and open up the doors for us. Prices including fuel are on the higher side, yet this location is really a convenience factor for our family living nearby. Appreciate they keep the property inside and out clean. Keep up the good work ??”
“Gas is always less here than anywhere else except Costco. The help is eager to get you in and out quickly. Also, as long as the doors are open, you can use the restroom, which nowadays is a rare thing and much appreciated!”
“This location is 2 minutes drive from the Muckleshoot casino, in Auburn. Late night shift has friendly clerks, great customer service. Now that I know where it is I will visit again!”
The Iowa retailer, the third-largest convenience store operator in the country, built its new three-year plan around three priorities: store growth, food and beverage expansion, and kitchen technology upgrades.

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.

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. The first Michigan Sheetz will open its doors in late summer at 33380 Wick Road in Romulus. More locations are planned for Taylor, Warren, and Macomb Township, each employing around 30 people, mostly full-time.
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.
