At the time of writing this review, this is the last QT you'll come across on the stretch of I-85 in between Charlotte and the Piedmont Triad (Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem). If you're headed towards Charlotte from the Triad, it's the first QT you'll come across. Living in Atlanta the past 20 years, I've become a big fan of QT because their gas stations are typically big, thoughtfully laid out, brightly lit, relatively clean, and easy to navigate with plenty of pumps, parking spaces, and competitive fuel prices. Their convenience stores are also clean in addition to being well-stocked with hot-and-ready and made-to-order food and drink. The stores usually have plenty of adequately-trained and uniformed staff who are polite. In short, QTs beat your run-of-the-mill gas stations and convenience stores, many of which can be shoddy. Consider yourself lucky if you have them in your area. This QT on Lane Street is no exception. It's got 20 pumps for cars plus a separate fueling and parking area and store for semi-tractor-trailer trucks (not all QTs are truck stops like this one). I stopped by this QT on my way back to Atlanta from High Point to fill up and use the restroom. It was easy for me to find an open pump; it was clean, in good condition, and worked well; and the restroom was clean enough. If South Carolina is part of your route, then you should fill up at one of the many QTs along I-85 in South Carolina, if you can, because gas in South Carolina is cheaper. Check out my "Carolinas I-85 Corridor" collection on Yelp for a mostly comprehensive listing of QTs and other gas stations along I-85 in between Atlanta and the Triad here: https://www.yelp.com/collection/Ey266j_8lAHk7iQLDODC9g. Unlike regional truck stop competitors such as Love's Travel Stops and Pilot Travel Centers, QTs are not as big. They do not sell products other than refreshments (mainly) and they do not have interior seating nor fast food restaurant chains like Dairy Queen, McDonald's, and Wendy's attached. QTs do, however, have limited outdoor seating. This one has a handful of umbrella-covered tables outside the store.

This was a brief stop for the restroom and it was in good condition. I've seen some QT men's rooms that needed attention in a big way. This wasn't too bad though some previous patrons don't seen to understand how to use a urinal properly. Sheesh! But the counters were dry and the paper towel dispenser worked. Overall, a good experience today. [Review 643 of 2026 - 4731 in North Carolina - 25824 overall]

Gasoline at QT is usually at a comparable or good price. The staff at QT are usually friendly, and they take pride in the store. The store and the bathrooms are always clean and well-maintained; And there open 24/7.

This is QuikTrip store #1022. It's located just off I-85 exit 58 in Kannapolis, North Carolina…read more It's north of Charlotte and just north of Concord (Concord Mills). This is a good place to fill up between Charlotte and the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point) and Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). If traveling south past Charlotte and into South Carolina, I recommend waiting to fill up at a QT in South Carolina because the gas prices in South Carolina are better. For example, I drove from North Carolina to Georgia recently and stopped at this QT and then at another QT in South Carolina. The price difference per gallon of premium was $0.30. If traveling southbound, the first QT you'll come across in South Carolina is at I-85 exit 90 in Gaffney. As far as this QT goes, it's good, just like the vast majority of QTs. This one is on the larger side with 20 pumps at the station. The convenience store is Gen 3 (Generation 3, the latest design), which I believe all QT stores in North Carolina are. During my visit, the property was clean and felt safe and the staff was well-trained and polite. Like most QTs, this one was busy, but it wasn't too bad on a Thursday morning at 11:30am. This QT is situated at the entrance to Cloverleaf Plaza (shopping center with Roses, a store from my childhood) and directly across the street from Carolina Memorial Park (cemetery). I've been to a lot of QTs over the past two-plus decades (I'm a fan) and I'm pretty sure this is the first one I've been to that's next to a cemetery.

I think because it's location is on a country road, and the small restaurant comes from a "mom & pop shop", there are jokes made that our visit from California each year is marked with desired-multiple stops for breakfast at Sandy's. The biscuits are homemade rivaling Carl's Jr., Hardee's, McDonalds and CrackerBarrel! The gravy is delicious & plentiful. No better way than pouring fresh coffee or a fountain drink of Sundrop and enjoy food off their menu. MMMMmmmm Especially when our state doesn't offer such southern luxuries :D
