“This store is attached to the restaurant, and I had to check it out. It's a local business, aimed at the construction workers and farmers in the area, which I think is really neat. This area doesn't have a lot in the way of shopping, so it's basically a convenience store with a gas station vibe (and a dual sided gas pump just outside). The prices are probably a bit high for snacks, but what place isn't becoming expensive nowadays. There's a solid selection of snacks and alcohol and soft drinks, and the clerk was a very nice lady. There's also an area for fountain drinks if you're looking to quench your thirst. This is a great place to stop and support a true local business. Oh and the sign on the door is hilariously fantastic.”
“5 star customer service. They allowed me to fill up my water bottles while I was out cycling and even offered ice, while farmers convenience store wanted to sell a fountain drink cup before they would let me get any water.”
“Only gas station in the area otherwise circle k is another 5 miles away. Convenient for local farm workers. Dollar general next door. Also can find Local outdoor swap meet every Saturday-Sunday right across the street”
“Kiwi view. You pay at the pump. All fuel goes through one hose. It’s a little confusing at first but just follow the simple steps and you’ll be fine. Inside is lots of junk food. Go crazy. Lots of drink options!! As in other places a lack of healthy(ish) chocolate milk options.”
“Circle K on Honeycutt and Porter is absolutely the best of all the circle k's. The staff is the absolute best out c of all the Circle K's in the Valley of the Sun...The proof is in the customer loyalties. Around the clock, 24/7 this place is jam packed with customers. And yet there is no back ups or unusual waiting periods. And customers are kind and will often allow those in a hurry to move up to the front. I love this store. From every clerk, to each customer. Only place where I dropped money or left a 100 in the bathroom and customer came running out to ask if id left something in bathroom. And gave me time to check if I was missing anything and I got my 100 bill back with out having to pay reward this time cause all I had was the money to pay rent for the month iasked him to call me on the first of next month and id take him to dinner or just give him 30 bucks which is the absolute most I could give away cause I live on a 1000 a month and that pays car note, phone bill, groceries, water and electric , gas bill for home and car. Haircut and co-pay 4 my heart meds, and other meds... I washed clothes by hand and dry by sun cause I dont have the money and I press them by putting them under mattress. Tough times but at least I've got help from my social security even tho its only a 1000 a month when to live simple would take twice as much.”
“A store that has people in and out of Circle K. Nice and friendly employees. I can always find what I need. I think it's in a good spot medium flow of traffic. Just like any other city.”
“Really friendly staff. The cosmetic dept young lady went out of her way to help me find an item I needed, I had just gone in for my covid buster shot appointment. Good service ?”
“Super fast and convenient! I went to CVS to pick up my medicine, and the line moved so quickly. I was in and out in no time. The staff was efficient and made the whole pickup process easy. Definitely appreciated the great service! 💊😊”
“In Maricopa this store is a gem. Pleasant professional employees. Clean organized store. Pharmacy staff knowledgeable. If only other Maricopa stores copied this store.”
