“Great diesel prices! Happened to notice the price when we drove by. Not on Gas Buddy, so I added it so other drivers will be able to find it.We filled up on the way home, clean, nice station.”
“Some of the best customer service I’ve had when working with auto shop people. Usually they are distant and rough around the hospitality edges. Ryan and his main worker (I forget his name), always communicate what is going on with the vehicle in a way I can understand. Always a thorough and honest job. The only thing I would change is the scheduling. Sometimes there is an issue, but it is worth the wait because his prices beat anywhere I’ve ever gone before. I truly wish the best for Ryan and his shoppe. Keep up the good work!!”
“Very old hometown feel.Had a little grocery store and an ice cream window!This place was so neat! They had a bunch of little shops inside of the store. The pumps are located on the bavk of the store, which was a bit confusing at first.The lady at the register was super friendly and very bubbly positive attitude!”
“Came to Blanchardville after camping Wyalusing for a few days, on a trial to do "out of the box" camping. Happened on some very strong winds and rain and local campground is blocks from Cenex. Wendi called me from campground and said 2 pop ups had blown over. I flew back down and wendi had called 911 and drove down to help. They said 2 hours behind and any help could go in. Since i have ER/Trauma experience in portable x-ray i jumped in. Her and Sadie, her emotional support/ service dog went down and flashed lights on camper to help me see. Ultimately a gentleman came to help too and he might have been there in seconds but it seemed hours! We saved "Steve" and other pop up was empty. Fire/rescue support and seemed like whole town was out all night clearing and helping. Wonderful place! Store lost power all night, but opened as soon as power was up. Hats off to Amy, and crew at town hall and entire store and town for an unforgettable experience! Special thanks to Wendi & Sadie sue! Oh and Kade, bright eyes, and entire crew at cenex!! P.S. get a camp spot before it's full! Fishing, camping, baseball, hot coffee!”
“Casey's has an awesome breakfast burrito, and all the Casey's I've been to have been great, but somehow this Casey's totally rocks their burritos. I can't say what's different but they totally have it goin' on at this location. If you're traveling by this location...stop! Thank you, Casey's staff, for having a nice, clean, friendly store.”
“As my husband and I seek out new places to explore, we also seek out kwik trip stores along the way to stop in. This one is right off of a highway and beautifully placed. Has a car wash, handicapped parking, easy access to enter. Large clean bathrooms, which always post their latest sales event going on. Every kwik trip features some unique or different products representing the area. Love that, but I really miss the mascots at different locations. They store was clean and faced. It had a lot to offer for the hungry traveler at the hot spot or fresh case. Always enjoy what we might find.”

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.
