“Friendly people and the rewards card is well worth it. The ownership and employees are great! I will do my best not to single anyone out, so I'll just mention the two individuals who's names rhyme with Jacob Wolf and Mrs. Floyd who submitted a review previously. I'm assuming one works in the Department of Power and Control and the other is a stay at home Geography professor. What they have in common based on their reviews is they're as shallow as a teaspoon. I'm curious as to why they both think speaking English is mandatory. Is it because it's the only language these two academic scholars speak? Surely it can't be because we are in the United States of America, because this country has no official language. The portion of the motto, Land of The Free isn't just a statement about our ability to move around without permission, and it doesn't just pertain to you two. It means we are free to speak whatever language we want, and of course it also means you are free to be as shallow as a teaspoon. And how do you know not all the employees speak English? Did you show up on a day that all of them were in the store, or did you make multiple visits to administer your language proficiency exam? I assume since Mrs. Floyd typed in mostly caps that she was excited about finding out what country she was in and she wanted the rest of us to know. Jacob did a review of a local church and pointed out that "most of the people are self righteous, judgmental, hypocritical and think they're holier than God." You wouldn't do those things would you? Not to mention Mrs. Floyd gives a review of Moses Lake Walmart and says the Ephrata Walmart is better, then gives the Ephrata store 2 stars and the Moses Lake store 3. It would be fun if we had to order our food in the language that matches the restaurant style or speak the language that a store owner speaks because after all it is their right to conduct their business in a way that doesn't harm anyone right? I'm stealing the thunder you had and giving it back to Short Stop, be grateful there are people willing to serve a thousand different attitudes and personalities every day. Sincerely, Robin Hood”
“Stopped here for the Tesla charger and was delighted by the snack choices. Imported chips, fancy gourmet popcorn, and Japanese Kit Kats. A bright spot in the middle of the long AF drive between Spokane and Seattle. Well worth the stop.”
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. The company plans to add 120 stores during the current fiscal year. Its previous plan, launched in 2023, delivered more than 500 new stores and earned the company a spot in the S&P 500.

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. With its funny billboard ads, award-winning clean bathrooms, and branded items Buc-ee’s is hard to miss. The company wants people to actually plan to stop at Buc-ee's during road trips, not just go there as a last resort. And it's working - the chain has a huge fan base, with Facebook groups dedicated to Buc-ee's having hundreds of thousands of members.
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.
