“1st my wife arrived at the gas station on empty because she never wants to fuel her truck and their pumps were down. You might consider this a negative but everyone has a bad day from time to time.I was unable to run out and save my wife so the cashier offered to take my wife to another gas station fill her gas can and drive her back. Not sure is thats West Virginia manners or the gas station.Either way I was impressed.Thank you for taking care of my wife when I couldn't”
“Great hometown gas station/grocery store. I mean not only are they open 24/7-365 days a yr but they carry: gas, cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, snacks, motor oils, groceries, energy drinks, and they are also a WV Lottery dealer! What more could u ask for in a convenience store located in a rural town such as in any of the locations of a U-Save Food store? Also, I forgot to mention an added feature I love in these stores that I have heard is a plus with most anyone I know is the fact they also have a deli that carries meats & cheeses from "Jackson's Meat Market" located in Summersville, WV(another great hometown business I love) as well as: canned veggies, homemade salsas, pickled eggs, sausages, and homemade fudge and cakes and candies that you will never find in other stores in the area. I must recommend it to anyone coming thru any of the "U-Save Food Stores" locations to stop in for anything they may need as it's pretty much a one stop shop and a much needed business I would hate to ever see closed being in such a rural town it's very much a necessity for those of us unable to go to the Walmart or some other food stores located more than 15 miles away in any direction....”
“The staff are ALWAYS welcoming, sweet, and helpful. I be sure to stop here EVERY time i stop. I love this place! Oh yes, Best ice EVER!!! DEFINITELY worth $5, but I’d pay $10 all day long”
“We stopped on Christmas day,was kinda expecting everyone to be in a mood because they had to work. However everyone was very friendly and wished us Merry Christmas,and the food was great!!”
“One of the store clerks named Malicia really did a wonderful job of helping me in a tight spot. My car got a flat in the rain far from my destination. She went above and beyond to help me. She helped plug the tire until I could get my car to the tire shop. I can't thank you enough. ?”

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.

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.

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.
