Clean and convenient when going to the beach. The guy is usually rude/ condescending but the woman working the front today was much more pleasant.

I bought a sandwich from here and it had mold on it. That is utterly disgusting. Don't go here if you can help it

Not a fan of this place or the "managers" that probably get kickbacks from towing companies. Please be careful parking here for more than 5 minutes. They will have your car towed = $215 plus $30 uber

Take my word for it and the other 1 star reviews of this place. DO NOT park here if you are out of state or even for more then 10 minutes! There is a tow truck waiting around the corner to tow your car and charge you over 200$ to get it back! Hope this place and the towing company shuts down. Horrible

A local who frequents this store. Convenience is their business.Free parking IS NOT THEIR BUSINESS! You should never block one business’ parking spots by going to another business! Common sense people! I don’t care where you are from, you have to know this is hurting their business if you park your car there and leave (even for 5 minutes!). That means someone who wants to spend their money at circle k cannot do so.The tow companies drive around and watch for people making poor decisions; Circle k employees have better things to do than watch your car and call it in…Use your brain and only park in public parking lots or the spaces designated to the business you are currently in (!!) and enjoy your time here.

These people have a tow truck waiting to tow cars and golf carts. My family and I parked at the circle k to grab an ice cream and we were going to stop back in circle k to get breakfast food for the morning. In the time it took us to grab ice cream and come back it was gone. So in less than 15 minutes our cart was gone costing us $400. I would not recommend going there or parking for any reason! The tow truck company (Manatee towing) and the circle k staff are working together to ruin your vacation! I would be willing to bet they target golf carts because you have to have them bring it back for an extra charge of course!

I wish I could give this 0 stars. Part of a scam that Blackmailed us. Broke countless laws. Made us pay a ridiculous amount. Biggest scam. Sketchy and got defensive and changed their whole demeanor when we brought up laws they were breaking. They work with the the Circle K In bradenton. Beware!!! Don’t park there!!!

Every single review here on Circle K (don’t confuse with another branch further down) is someone who was towed. There is a massive scam going on at this place. If you don’t believe me, read the Google reviews here and on Manatee Towing Google reviews!You won’t find an address on Google for Manatee Towing. Why not? But here is their address at a dark shady container. 6309 15th Street East.I’m another victim of this dreadful scam. Do NOT park at this place. Our car was also towed. An honest mistake as a FIRST TIME VISITOR who was conned.Only one small ‘no parking’ sign at Circle K’s parking entrances.A friendly police officer told us it happens at that store all the time. It is easily mistaken for general public parking. Our hotel manager’s 80 year old priest’s car was towed there two days ago. Another victim of a massive daily scam. On both Circle K and Manatee Towing Google reviews are multiple reviews claiming they were conned.To the store owner: If you want to enforce the law to the fullest extent on your private property, I totally get it, and you are 100% entitled to do so. But, you are deliberately misleading, especially first time visitors with your little sideline business.Why not place multiple signs like all the neighboring businesses, especially for uninformed visitors? If your motive was to prohibit people from parking there, you would have very clear signs at almost each parking space, which most other businesses have.I hope someone exposes this lucrative money making racket between you and Manatee Towing. All the reviews here are are an indication that this is a scam. And, they only accept cash which is very suspicious.After a long Uber drive to a shady dark yard, we were first told we couldn’t get our car back. After a lot of convincing, the manager at the tow truck business released our car.We are now enjoying the beautiful Anna Maria Island beach, while everyone who profited from my $360 out of pocket honest mistake, including the Circle K owner, the bird brained shop assistant who phoned the tow truck business and the rest, are slaving away targeting their next victims.

This place is in with Manatee towing. They will tow u in a minute even if u buy from them. I hope everyone will boycott this business. They are thieves and money hungry. Don't buy from these selfish people. I hope they have to close.

Shitty gas station and sketchy to say the least. There is NO. VISIBLE signage of "Non parking" or regard for a paying customer! They run in cahoots with Manatee Towing Co and had my car towed even AFTER being a paying customer! Racist and scammers! They only get one star because it's required otherwise they'd get no stars.

I have lived 10 minutes from Bradenton Beach for the past 8 years. Last night, 6/12/22, I was a customer at the Circle K and left my receipt on my dashboard to run an errand and when I came back my car was towed. The sign that says that “unauthorized vehicles will be towed” was facing the street, not where cars that are parked can see it. There are no posted signs as to what is an authorized vehicle or how long you can have you car there or maximum towing costs. When I went inside the store a blond male clerk said that he was sorry but if you didn’t make a $5 donation to the Red Cross and say you were leaving your car that the company would tow it. I saw another customer have their car towed as well. The towing company used: manatee towing company in Bradenton, FL is used throughout Bradenton Beach and was seen towing cars within minutes of them parking at other locations in the town. When i mentioned to both Jeff and Charlie- the owner of manatee towing that my car was not an unauthorized vehicle and showed them my Circle K receipt they denied this fact.There is an extreme problem going on here and it’s going to affect our economy and life for us locals. It cost me $250 to get my car back when I was a customer and parked in the Circle K parking lot. I have reached out to the towing company multiple times, Bradenton Beach clerk, and Circle K corporate and am awaiting a response. My family and I respect private businesses and rules but this is serious and cannot be fully legal, what do we do about this?

We came here tonight to Get air in our low tire it was out of order so we went and grabbed food untilOur in laws could bring us an air compressor not ever seeing the hidden tow away signs since we came In the back way. Came back not even 30 min later our car was gone. we’re tourists and leave in the am so it was a huge inconvenience and $250 to get our car back. The worker was very rude. Don’t give these con artist your business and never park here period. Several other cars were there for over an hour while we waited for a ride. Ridiculous to say the least this should be illegal.

I parked here with the full intention of going in for a few items but walked next door first to grab a ice-cream cone. I was gone less than 15 minutes and my SUV had been towed. The tow company scratched the bumper on my new Mercedes GLE, thankfully in FL the tow company is liable for any damages to your vehicle when it’s towed. It cost me $300 cash to get my SUV out of a disgusting tow yard that was manned by people standing around barefoot in the dirt. The handful of people working the yard may have had 10 teeth between all of them. This store is wretched and the Manatee tow yard is worse. Don’t shop at this store and definitely don’t park here or you’ll find yourself picking your car up in a situation reminiscent of the movie Wrong Turn. Thanks for ruining an otherwise lovely vacation. I wish I could give negative 5 stars for this establishment.

This business is despicable, around 9pm last night my friends car was towed from this parking lot (which had plenty of spots available) after we spent a few minutes down the street getting an ice cream (technically 7 minutes, I counted). It was wonderful to wait in the dark for 40 minutes and watch multiple cars that also parked there without the intention of going inside sit there without being towed as well. Shame on you for letting two young girls stand outside for an hour waiting for a ride at night just to make whatever commission you guys get from your towing services. This is literally a beach town, maybe have some decency and wait for 10 minutes until you ruin someone’s night ?? 250$ down the drain for nothing
