It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this QuikTrip in Dillon, South Carolina. It wasn't here…read morethe last time we traveled through South Carolina via I-95, to get between North Carolina and Georgia. This QT is still relatively new. It opened on June 15, 2023: https://www.cstoredive.com/news/quiktrip-grows-travel-center-concept-in-south-carolina/653478/ I made sure to stop here both ways on this trip. As has been well documented in my Yelp reviews over the past 10-15 years, I'm a fan of QT. I was happy with all the growth QT had along I-85, in the western part of South Carolina, in the early 2010s: https://www.yelp.com/collection/Ey266j_8lAHk7iQLDODC9g Unfortunately, QT isn't there yet with I-95, which is closer to and runs down roughly the eastern part of the state. In SC, I-95 (199 miles) is a lot longer than I-85 (106 miles). Anyway, this QT is a nice start. This QT is located just off I-95 exit 190 (SC 34 - Dillon) in the Pee Dee region of northeastern South Carolina. It's close to the North Carolina border. Another good option for gas, refreshments, and restrooms at this exit is the Love's Travel Stop on the other side of the interstate: https://www.yelp.com/biz/loves-travel-stop-dillon?hrid=UnW3W3KM5C74VC_jGbJGnA&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) This QT has everything I like about most newer QT locations. It's big and spacious, inside and out (20 pumps), clean, feels safe, is always stocked with paper towels at the pumps, and has competitive gas prices and polite, friendly customer service. QT describes this location as a "Remote Travel Center," which is the first I've seen since they rolled out the "Generation 3" or "Gen 3" stores over the last decade-plus. To me, this is simply a bigger Gen 3 store on a bigger lot. According to a Convenience Store News article in April 2022 ( https://csnews.com/photo-gallery-inside-quiktrips-new-remote-travel-centers ), QT's Remote Travel Centers have a "larger store format" that "targets geographies with strong truck traffic." This location has five diesel pumps for semi-trailer trucks, but it's not a full-fledged QT truck stop like others I've seen (e.g., Gaffney, SC). Like conventional QTs, this one has a QT Kitchens with fresh, made-to-order food and drink, except it's "expanded." This is QuikTrip store #7133.

Fantastic new LARGE QuikTrip right off I-95 going north from SC to NC. Perfect location for long…read moreroad trips w multiple stops. Great place to grab gas (lowest price before going out of state) and snacks before crossing into NC. Clean bathrooms, lots of welcoming staff and a whole brewing station just for tea! So many fruit flavors. Unfortunately it wasn't working today but I grabbed a **crushed ice*** massive Diet Dew (on tap, thank you) instead. This will be our go to place every summer on these massive family road trips.

After years of stopping by this store, most of the cashier's are great. One thing I have noticed is…read morea couple of times, lady in black shirt, assuming manager, talking harsh to the others employees (never in retail!!). I've always got the welcome to Hot Spot, I've always see her heading out the door then when I'm checking out she walks back in headed to the back. I've been in retail my whole life, she doesn't acknowledge her customers and always the "I hate being here" look, always on the phone. Time for corporate to take a look into this. Cashier's are great and helpful 5 until she walks behind the counter.

What can I say... it's Bucees! Stopped here on our road trip and anticipated this for some time so…read moreit was everything I was expecting We spent almost 2 hours on the store just shopping, looking at all the clothing, souvenirs and different food options We ended up getting to NC around 5 am, perfect for breakfast! We got the bacon egg and cheese burrito, hash browns, a cinnamon bun, iced coffee, some beaver nuts, jerky and other merch! They have a ton of food options, a candy and beef jerky wall, snacks, drinks... everything you could expect at a gas station and more! The bathrooms were clean Wish there was one in my state!

Ample bathroom stalls with availability lights like convention center garages. Repeating walls of…read morebeef jerky and beaver nuggets. A million souvenirs including logo swim trunks. Brisket and other sandwiches, and little plastic cups of banana pudding. You're at an overstimulating traffic stop whose soda fountain sizes are large and extra large. This is the first Buc-ee's off I-95 and the crowds are crazy, but at least you can park your RV. Though posted signs say trucks and trailers are not allowed, you do have diesel in that extreme fuel island. The staff were kind and went out of their way restocking brisket sandwiches and other goods without elbowing through the demanding crowd. Ample parking, ample bathrooms, cold drinks, and fuel, fuel, fuel. Don't expect peace, but all the amenities are here.

But some of the stuff is definitely overpriced and the two girls at the register were hanging at the ice cream section , so had to wait a bit.. But, some $$ spent and happy new memories made!

Can't have a road trip to South Carolina, and not stop at south of the border!…read more Although this roadside attraction was lacking, and less than what I expected, it's a quirky little side stop to get out and stretch your legs There's a little motel, a little convenient store, shopping for souvenirs, but everything is pretty much rundown. There wasn't a lot of activity and there was barely any cars in the parking lot of anywhere in this area. I'm sure in a different season it's bustling with customers, however, it's not what we ran into. We did buy some unique glass jewelry souvenirs

Tyson assured me he would take care of me, and he absolutely did. As I was getting my tires dressed, he even came out and help me polish up All of my Chrome. Really good dude, and they did a really good job.. I tried to tip him, but I was having technical difficulties with a particular app, but after it gets worked out he will be getting some extra money!
