They're right off the interstate, typically at about the intervals you'd pit stop anyway, so convenience is a factor.

The food is pretty decent for fast food, tons of snack selection including lots of their house brand, at least a dozen flavors of their jerky. Prices are somewhere between grocery store and convenience store, but some of their house brand stuff is pretty competitive. They've got a lot of clothing and housewares, think like a cross between a Cracker Barrel and a Target. Gas is typically reasonable for the region in my experience, bathrooms are famously clean.

It's kind of the perfect spot to stop for gas on a trip: stretch your legs, pee, grab a hot sandwich, maybe some flavored popcorn to snack on later, grab a blanket with a big beaver face on it cuz the kid's trying to sleep in the back and you forgot to pack one. It's a true one stop shop.

Their gas prices are always cheaper than anything else you'll find just of the highway. They literally lose money on gas sales - just so you will possibly buy something in the store.

The prices in the store aren't cheap (about what you'd expect from a highway-side gas station), but you can get all kinds of stuff in there. BBQ, roasted nuts, deli sandwiches, fudge, and some of the best beef jerky around
