“Great little locally owned corner gas station/convenience store. Been going there for the past 12 years. Always have hot food and a great selection of stuff you'd stop and get from a convenience store”
“they are long lines, but it doesn't go slow. Everyone's in a hurry, and it's fine. It's an inexpensive gas, and it's worth the wait. Plus you can always pop it and grab something that you need. :-)”
“The wait for gas was quick. The parking lot was busy coming in and out though. This location has more pumps than Tacoma, which is now closed for renovations until mid Aug. I'll be using Federal Way or Puyallup until they reopen. Glad the wait wasn't bad for a busy Sat afternoon compared to what it would have been if Tacoma had been open. Hoping the reno solves that problem.”
“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.”
“I love this gas station! It’s a great place to stop. There are always plenty of open pumps, the staff is very friendly, and the location is super convenient. Definitely one of my favorite gas stations!”
“Tyler, the supervisor in the red vest and hannah. That's training to be a supervisor they were so nice and i'm a tough customer, and I ask a lot of questions, and they were so patient and kind and costco was lucky to have them. Also, this is a really nice costco. I've been to some cost that suck. They're very woke, and that is not a turn on like I will purposely not spend my money at that cost, though, but this one is really nice. And I love it, keep up the good work”
“Hey, Costco! Judy did exceptionally great job promoting those energy drink mixes. She is amazing. Very professional employee and a great person! Give her a raise ⭐”
“The team that helps at the gas station are really helpful and friendly. The lane I was in today was a bit backed up. Turns out it was a car that needed to be jumped (in front of the pump🙈). The team made sure that those of us still in line were made aware, and then helped get the other car jumped and working again. Nice to see that they helped a lot with that persons situation and still were able to keep everyone else moving. Kudos and great job to them😊”
“This place is a gem! The staff is super friendly and always ready to help, making every visit a breeze. Plus, the convenience store is stocked with everything I need on the go. Highly recommend!”
“Definitely they would get 5 stars. Cheapest gas prices in 3 counties or surrounding them when every gas station is jacking up the pricing. But here they kept the prices way way low. Clean place. Easy in & easy out . On main road. Thank you Arco .”
“Super good hot food selection. If they don't have something in the hot case that you want you can ask them to make it and they'll make it there for you on the spot, you just have to wait for it to cook. Best snack and candy selection of any gas station I've ever been too. Tons of drinks and if you're into beer or drinks, they have a walk in cold beer fridge that seems to have a lot of options. They even have some essential items you may need, IE: small laundry detergent, toilet paper, milk, oil, etc. Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a gas station and they employ some of the most kind, friendly and efficient people. Overall, I will choose this gas station for any quick needs or wants over any other.”
“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!”
“I like the prices, but hate the parking and traffic. They need a few employees out directing. Basket pickup is great, and they are always available at the front of the store.”
“Stopped by to fuel-up at the Fred Meyer Fuel Center. This is not a usual place for me but I had a great experience. The Fuel Center attendant was so friendly and helpful. I would visit again just for the wonderful attitude and service.”
“Nicest people, great selection of breakfast items with awesome breakfast burritos. No eye rolling when you ask to send someone out for propane. Only gave four stars because they are far and above the highest priced gas in town, but that doesn’t reflect the crew and atmosphere”
“I like using the fuel additive pumps, as I usually buy it off the shelf and pour it in. This cuts that part out. The last couple of times, however, they have not been functional. Hopefully Freddie's can fix this trend. Prices per gallon seem to be on par with the surrounding area, perhaps a cent or 2 less.”
“This is my second favorite article.The first one, there's a one on two twenty fourth in my radio only because i've been shopping there for years.And chris, who manages, I think both of them are he.Owns themBoth.He's done an awesome job with continuing to hire quality people.That care's digita. Kudos, my friend, hope you're having a good time on your vacation.”
“No over night parking. Parked on the side of the road 1.7 miles away before light once of the highway. There is a truck stop near by but have to pay for parking and it gets filled up fast. Other then that this is a nice facility that has a good system on getting trucks in and out efficiently. God bless y’all safe travels!”
“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!”
“Great stop for anything you need on the road, whether on your way to Rainier or just in the area. You can tell it’s a great place that values their customers because staff know the regulars well and treat them like friends. Their hot food is also solid, especially the breakfast burritos. Always well-stocked and clean!”
“Always friendly staff and great customer service. The only reason I give 4 stars is because too often there is spilled fuel, both gas and diesel, at the pumps and most people don’t want that on their shoes and inside their car.”
“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!!”
“Been coming here for 2 years now! I love the place and the staff is extremely friendly. My Wife and I never have any bad experiences. My friend on the night shift is always super nice and helpful. They get to know their regulars and show they pay attention by asking questions about your life from past conversations you have had with them!!”
“I like going to the Fred Meyer gas center because it has hoses that will reach the opposite side of your vehicle. This moves more vehicles through the area in a shorter amount of time. It's this type of thought that makes Fred Meyer the best.”
“? Where Quality Trees Meet Amazing Customer Care! I’m so happy with my Noble Christmas tree! It’s absolutely beautiful, fresh, and full. And such a good price! What really stood out was the customer service the guy was very knowledgeable helped me pick the perfect tree, answered every question, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Amazing service and a great selection. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality and care.”

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.
