“Cheapest gas so far aside from Costco. It's self serve so any experiences you have there are really on you. J/S? ? My only complaint.....that there aren't more around. Especially on the West side.”
“This place always has good stuff specially the food. It's a little expensive but it's good. Also they have those Mexican mudslides which I like and they're at a really good price that better than Fred Meyers or any other place”
“Best place in town for the cheapest gas prices and good grade refined gasoline and diesel petroleum products. Decent, hardworking staff on hand always ready to serve your automobile fuel needs. Propane sales here too.”
“It's an outside-only gas station... So don't buy the (majority of the) snacks b/c they've pretty much been exposed to the elements for however long they've been sitting out. It's literally like keeping candy in your garage or outside, how could every bag not have contents be a big, melty clump? Esp this time of year. They should Def consider expanding cashier cage slightly so to make room for snacks & just dispense to sell them like that. Oh I hope that cashier cage/booth is temp controlled, at least for the sake of the cashier. Also, their air machine sucks or is broken, there is no other option, but you won't find out until after you've put in $2 in quarters, which they also won't reimburse you for. But cigarettes are only cheaper at a smoke shop, and not even by that much, so best alternative to buy cigarettes after hours. And they're open 24 hrs. Rating of gas station shouldn't be lowered cause of shitty snacks (does not claim to be convenient store) but air compressor availability? That should factor in. Hence only the 4 stars, not 5.”
“If you shop at Fred Meyer enough to get fuel points this place is fine. Even cheap if you have enough points. Reasonably clean and rarely broken, the price without points is the same as everywhere else. Biggest downside is the same as the main store. Kitsap Mental Health is behind it so there's always a chance a patient will wander over out of the woods but I've had no direct issues.”
“It's a gas station that offers quick grab and go snacks, crunchies, alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Wine. No hard liquor and no restroom for public use. Air costs $ and there is no car wash.”
“Mainly for commercial gas and Diesel and their pumps are old and don't say the price they only say the gal if you can deal with all that it's a good place to get gas”
“Most convenient stores are pretty much the same, at least the ones I have been to in past years, there are minor differences, but they generally offer most of the same items.The Shell Station on Chico Way is no different. They offer a minimal amount of the items you usually find at a regular grocery store, such as food, a variety of drinks, some alcohol, and a lot of snack items such as candy, chips, nuts, beef jerky, muffins, granola bars, ice, and so on. I can't forget lottery tickets, some toiletries, and I believe I even saw some auto-related products. Oh yes, of course, they offer gas!I pass by this Shell station several days a week, and I have noticed that this station seems extremely popular with contractors starting their day, assuming because they do offer a small number of warm breakfast and lunch items.In fact, out of curiosity, I decided to purchase a hashbrown for .99 plus tax; I was curious because it was similar in looks to Mcdonald's hashbrown, just a little larger, and now and again, I will splurge and get an McD's hashbrown. I took one bite and decided to leave splurging to McDonald's.Perhaps it's just me, and I won't say it isn't, but the hashbrown was lukewarm at best and oddly chewy for an item that looks crunchy; that bite didn't mesh well in my mouth; plenty of people I'm sure love it and at the end of the day (or should I say the beginning of the day) its food!As far as staff being friendly, well, once upon a time, this Shell station had some friendly people that worked here; the cashier that checked me out said Thank you, that's better than not saying anything!For that said, convenience stores bring in all types of people with a wide range of personalities, assuming one would be guarded.This Shell station looks clean inside and out; I have never seen trash hanging around, dirty counter areas, spilled messes, or odd smells.If you want to call it that, my only actual complaint is that they no longer sell newspapers!"Thanks, everyone, for supporting our small local businesses and jobs, and remember, be kind to ALL living things!"”
“I’ve had a terrible month. My best friend died. The ac went out on my car. My flight was cancelled this week. I’m a little preoccupied so today when I went inside and prepaid for gas I just drove away without filling up. It took me a good 15 minutes to turn around and go back and I was so upset. I want to give mad props to Emmett at the counter who noticed and immediately voided the transaction. You really made my day and I appreciate you so much. Thank you Emmett! Someone give this employee a raise or a bonus or something!!! ❤️”
“I have been coming here for a long time, and it’s truly a community gem. The owner and the entire team, are amazing people. I’ve been treated like a friend and family since day one, and I see them do the same for everyone. Whether I'm getting my morning coffee or stopping for snacks on my way home from work, the service is always exceptional. My son especially loves visiting for the suckers they always have ready for him. This store truly deserves all the support the community can give.”
“I've been going to the Tracyton Market for my whole life. Whether I was walking there to grab an after school snack years ago, or now driving there get a bag of ice for a summer party, I have always had fond memories.”
“Been to a gas station closer to my home that had awful customer service, the people working here are a refreshing change. Very kind and actually talk to you instead of just scowling.”
“We have been going to Lumpia Factory for years. We ordered lumpia and pan it for New Years and it was excellent as always. They were really busy with pick up order but everything was perfect as usual. This is a great family owned business and we are happy to support them.”
“Floor is a little spotty. The ladies working have a cheerful and helpful nature for g.s. clerks. The stocking of merchandise could be better. Ice machine doesn't work as of current post.”
“Convienant, and has everything a traveler would need, from food to oil and lots of beer choices, coffee snacks milk shakes, scratch tickets, a& and subway is also in the same parking lot.”
“My favorite convenient store. Easy access to the freeway, plenty of good quality coffee, rarely any wait in line, bathrooms are available to the public, and friendly staff.”
“Thr closest store to my house. I i run here real quick to grab whatever stuff and things I possibly need at the moment. The only thing I've ever not been able to find at this store is diapers. Conveniently located with multiple entrance/exits. And they're open like 20 hours a day.”
“The food was super bomb.... Lori is the best cook ever. She is super friendly every time I come in and I'll be a repeat customer as long as her smiling face is there to make my baskets and gravy. The other employees could take a some notes. The other ladies could be nicer but the guy who worked last night is extremely rude and disrespectful. I will not come into the fairgrounds market when he is working..only when Lori is working”
“This is a great place for a quick fill up for the car. It's almost a one stop shop. You can get your beer, cigarettes, twinkles, and there is an adult DVD section right next to the register. Don't worry though, it's behind a piece of cardboard that you have to lift up to browse the selection. Awkward.”
“The cashier there Jessica she's literally my favorite cashier! I literally drive past other gas stations just to go to hers! She makes my day definitely be going here more. She's super helpful and always makes my day!”
“Not the cheapest gas in Bremerton, but not the most expensive either. The staff doesn't seem either friendly or grumpy. They do their job, and I don't really expect top of the line service when I buy a pack of gum.”
“Located at the deadly horseshoe turn of Gorst, it sometimes feels dangerous even to pull into the place. Gas pumps are gas pumps, for gas it's fine. The store is better than your average snack-driven gas stop. Everyone who works here seems to be on top of it all and get the job done quickly without being grumpy. If it were my job I'd be so grumpy.”
“My favorite convenient store. Easy access to the freeway, plenty of good quality coffee, rarely any wait in line, bathrooms are available to the public, and friendly staff.”

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.

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.
