“Right off the interstate, you might expect higher gas prices, however, their price at the pump beats everyone around. Also, Dunkin' and a well stocked, clean convenient store.”

“Had a short pit stop for gas and to stretch our legs. The location is convenient to get to, clean, and very big and open. I was there at 11:30pm on a Thursday so it’s definitely dead lol. The bathrooms were clean and an employee surprised me with an enthusiastic “Hello!” ? She was nice and this place seemed to have a lot of snacks to choose from. A tad concerning that there are signs like “leave back packs near front counter” and another warning sign about the cash drop safe, but I don’t live in the area so I can’t say whether or not this location is in a rough neighborhood. I did not feel like I was unsafe though! All in all, it was a pretty good stop ?”

“This BP in Alachua is easily one of the best-run gas stations you’ll come across—everything is consistently clean, fully stocked, and just works the way it should. The drinks are always ice-cold, the store is organized, and you never feel like you’re walking into chaos. What really sets it apart, though,the owners and staff are genuinely kind, welcoming, and go out of their way to make every visit a good one. It’s rare to find this level of consistency and customer care in a place like this, and it turns a simple stop into something you actually appreciate—five stars, no question.”

“I have been using this local neighborhood Shell station for over 13 years. I have NEVER had a problem. I never use a card at the pump - it's not reccomended. I am always asked if I want a receipt. The people who work there have always been nice and courteous. It needs to be known that when a gas station is closed the pumps don't work. It seems like these bad reviews are coming from rival gas companies who are taking over the north and central Florida area.”

“It says mobile but it's really a Circle K. The one in Trenton is one of my favorites to go to but their air machine won't let you put the correct amount of air your tire needs in it. I needed 50 lb of air I could only put 35 in. But that was better than what I had”

“It is the store where you pay for Shell gasoline, it is well stocked to have a snack on the way to wherever you are going. The staff is attentive and friendly. Gasoline is at a good price and the gas station is well located. It has ample and free parking.”

“Traveling up to Georgia for work and making our first stop at the circle K to get Gas. I wasn't sure how the ga situation was looking going north after Hurricane Milton. Filled up at a half tank and was in and out fairly quick. Their bathrooms were out of order, but there were bathrooms outside.”
