We regularly stop here when traveling on I-74. This time we had issues. After trying three different credit cards, each having card reader errors. I went to pay for gas at the counter. They apologized for their card reader errors on many of their pumps. If they would have placed a note at the pumps, it would save all customers time and frustration.

Great “pit stop” along our girls trip. Remarkably clean bathrooms and deeply friendly personnel. Bonus: good smells thanks to the on-site cinabon, truly a delight for the senses.
Marty was very helpful after my dear friend had something of a “mishap” at the self checkout.
Highly recommend.
