Of course the selection sucks, and it's always too crowded, but you got to love it specially when everything else is closed in the whole entire town they are still open and everybody gravitates towards it as the night carries on into the next day. There is one employee that makes the whole thing a good time for all. He is a cashier named Raul. He works at nights and always is friendly, helpful, and anticipate the needs of the customers. He makes you feel safe and comfortable and he always keeps pace never misses a beat even when the place is a madhouse full of people. He has a personal touch that is priceless.

This place is one of Mojave's hidden secrets. I've driven past here a million times on the way to…read moreMammoth but never gave it a second glance. If you've ever driven up the 14 to Mojave I'm sure you've noticed that store on the corner with all of the sexy dresses on mannequins in front. Well this place is right across the street! Anyway I stopped here one time to grab a snack and wow, my mind was blown! You can't tell from the outside but the inside looks pretty new they must have done a full renovation recently. They have a krispy krunchy chicken kiosk right inside the store, and a full on seating area and restaurant that serves made to order pizzas. I've never gotten a pizza, but I've gotten the fried chicken many times and it is delicious! I can't speak for every day as I only come on Sunday evenings on my way back from Mammoth, but every time I've had the chicken it's always really fresh and crispy so they must be cooking it pretty regularly on Sundays. With that said, make sure you pick the pieces that look fresher, I've had hit or miss luck with the potato wedges and biscuits. Both are bomb when fresh, but I've had days where it's stale and tastes like it's been sitting under the heat lamp for awhile. If you're not trying to eat chicken though, the selection of snacks and drinks is HUGE. Much bigger than you would get at any normal gas station convenience store. Also, they have large clean bathrooms. These are not janky run down gas station bathrooms, these are super clean and well maintained with plenty of space and good lighting. The gas here is generally cheaper than everywhere else, so if anything this is a great place to fill up gas and use the restroom. There's also hand scooped ice cream, an automated milkshake machine, a a rad mural on the outside. If you're passing by the area I highly recommend a visit.

He said no problem then informed they didnt have an ice machine but instead had pre-made cups of ice located in a cooler near the front, in with the ice cream. At the checkout, was informed (only after asking), that there was a 50 cent fee for using my credit card & the cup of ice was a dollar. WHAT?!?!?!?!. I told him "im good" & he said that my card was already charged, as I turned to put items back. My card never came within a foot of the card reader. Cashier did not offer to refund or void. Wasnt going to haggle, just not coming back again. I could fire pot shots at this point in my review about the condition & modernization of the site, but I will just let go

We were coming up on our second night of running through the night. Learning that Love's had SHOWERS was like finding an oasis in the desert! Well, that's what Love's is right? My group arrived at Love's around 2am. I was the last runner and eager to rinse off all the grime from the last 40 hours. We were greeted with such friendly service. Even though there was a wait for the showers at 2am, the attendants were really friendly and curious why a bunch of women in running clothes were wanting to shower in the middle of the night. We nearly blew their mind when we told them we had run there from San Francisco. The showers were really clean and so were the towels. The whole process was really simple and everyone was able to get their showers in before we continued on. Love's also had a great selection of souvenirs and snacks. I'll probably never be in this situation ever again but Love's was probably my favorite thing from that day! Many thanks to Love's for existing and being our oasis in the night!
