“The man that works here is amazing. He works so hard and I can relate. He is extremely kind and thoughtful. I just found out that they have coffee here and now it's my one stop for everything that I need to get my morning going. I recommend this place a thousand times..I must add that on my one day off a month, when I don't wear any makeup or primp my hair, running lose in my robe blindly searching for coffee and smokes, this Man treats me with respect and as a Friend. These small things make up a neighborhood store dynamic that is personal as well as professional.In all of Deland, this is the place to make your go-to stop.”
“I've been in DeLand for 5 years now and hands down this is one of the most convenient stores that I've actually fell in love with they have great customer service and treat their customers like family they also remember what I get every time I come in so most other time I don't even have to say anything. Store is always fresh and clean and chicken is always good. They really value their customers. Keep up the great work you guys are awesome...... one thing I can say though is I tried calling and I can't reach them I guess they have an old number so an updated number will highly B much be appreciated.”
“The Management is very awesome, there very professional and polite and kind.It’s very peaceful and feel very comfortable and everything every product very good”
“This was my first visit to this Food Mart / Gas Station and although I didn't go inside this is my kinda place, it's got real personality and is so well kept. I stopped in to fuel up the F-150 and the fuel island shows off the pride the ownership has for this business everything was clean and well maintained. I love that the pumps run parallel to the store front and the bonus is that they sell diesel - I'm thinking this is the perfect set-up to fuel the MotorCoach, the property is somewhat limiting but the turnout is more than sufficient to accommodate the bus (still haven't named her yet). The fuel prices are competitive and by the flow of customers in and out during my brief visit I know there's something special about this place. It appears to be the perfect location for most of the patrons to grab that 12 pack and a pack of smokes and maybe some lottery tickets and of course a few bucks of gas. Based on the outward appearance and the easy access and exit onto Route 44 this may be a place I frequent, after all I always go for personality over the popularity of the brands where no body knows your name...”
“I frequent this gas station due to cleanliness and I like the staff who are always polite and say "good morning" every time I walk in, without fail. One gentleman who works there puts in an incredible amount of hours as he has been there every single time I've gone inside. My only complaint is the amount of vagrants that hang around in the area, constantly asking for money or cigarettes.”
“I stopped in to grab a bottle of water before heading back home after running an errand on this side of town - although they don't sell gas like most convenient stores do these days they do have a lot of the essentials that could save you a trip into town if you lived out this way and it seems the area residents appreciate it.The clerk was very nice, offering a receipt and small bag and even though I didn't need either it was nice to be asked. It looks like most of the customers this morning were buying ice, beer, smokes and lottery tickets and there's plenty of those options here. I'd definitely stop here again if in the area...”
“Well I got duped again by this brick and mortar retailer - I came here to pick up an item that was advertised by Walgreens to be available for in store pickup, turns out this item wasn't a stock item and only available online at walgreens.com, no fault of the extremely friendly and professional staff here, but still frustrating. As I roamed the aisles hoping that the aisle signage would put me in the vicinity but after several laps I knew it wasn't going to happen and thankfully a wonderful woman in a vest with a badge stopped to assist - she wasn't sure if they had either but started on yet another journey around the store to see if we could locate it - I mentioned to her that it may be available only online but she wasn't hearing of it until we exhausted every shelf without finding it. After thanking her I decided to see if maybe the pharmacist knew of this item and lucky for me she did - and informed me that this item was only offered online and suggest I try CVS by this time I'm thinking Amazon would definitely be my almighty savior but now I would have to take her recommendations hmmm that's quite the drive but I exited without purchasing anything because it seemed this may be a marketing strategy Walgreens uses to get me here knowing I might buy something else well which wasn't going to happen just an FYI CVS uses the same strategy as Walgreen except they offered to help me order it online.Like I mentioned earlier no fault of the staff here and I do appreciate all their help but shame on their employer this is why I don't frequent these places.Fast forward less than 24 hours - Amazon delivers...”
“I recently visited this place and got amazed by the variety of Indian foods they have. I tried their samosa, butter chicken and goat curry with Naan bread, absolutely delicious!! Not too spicy, fresh and flavourful. Definitely a must try place for Indian food.”
“It’s always busy here, but the lines move quickly and there are a ton of gas pumps. The main gripe I have is that something is always wrong with the soda fountain— it’s either out of ice or some flavor isn’t working. Decent store other than that.”
“I went in search of non-ethanol gas when there was a threat of hurricane recently, but all the other gas stations were out of it. This one had non-ethanol available. So happy that they were open and stocked. The price was right too!”
“Very conveniently located with a large parking lot. Race Tracs usually seem to have the largest number of gas pumps as a rule and this one does as well. Also has a convenient side entrance. The store is pretty clean and the staff is friendly. I stopped here fairly often and I would recommend”
“This is my O K. They don't always have my hot dog ready, sometimes cups are out. Staff is super friendly and always helpful. It's a gas station at least the pumps usually work!”
“To be honest with you they have good lunch meat there they make really good Subs you have to deal with a lot of riffraff outside. People begging and for money and what not.. and they have good deals on cigarettes and whatnot the store is very good if you want to go trick or treating there's plenty of goodies outside. LOL LOL LOL LOL God bless alls I can say is wrap it up!”
“Amazing experience the young gentleman at the Pharmacy was unbelievably kind today and he knew what he was doing. What a pleasure picking up my medications.Thank you Marcus!!”
“I normally use the Walgreens on 92, but they didn't have my RX in stock. I went to this location for the first time. I needed eye drops and the pharmacist was able to fill the prescription in 20 minutes even though it was really busy. It is a smaller store, but they earned my future business.”
“While it was not our intention to spend over an hour at this gas station, things happen and keys may have been locked in the car, fault here does not matter. Maybe its due to not regularly spending this lengthy of a time at a gas station but as we sat there and watched people coming and going, this gas station is popping off. I mean, it was non stop people in and out of here. The two attendees were kind and patient and very sympathetic to our situation. Despite the lines being long they were friendly and brave encountering all the walks of life we watched come and go from this store. Note being from this area the people here were very friendly! One gentleman jumped out of his truck with tools and tried to pop our hood from under the car, though unsuccessful he kindly refused our tip. Many other passerbys checked on us, and another traveler even gave us a bag of ice! Honestly a genuinely nice experience given the circumstances. The store is also well equipped with AC and a sitting area where we were able to get out of the heat. This review isnt just for the CircleK, although they certainly deserve it, but also for the people that frequent this CircleK. Thank you.”
“Great place! Convenient location when coming from Deland to 44. Clean store. Employees are friendly and helpful. Shout-out to Kristin at counter for her smile and helpful assistance”
“Evan was incredibly helpful in assisting the technically challenged with the Wawa app naviation and rewards use. Alex was stupendous as a manager when an event unfolded that was less than ideal for time and confusion for a triple drink order coupled with staff issues but overall was resolved well. Tesla chargers were convenient.”
“I want to commend the gentlemen in here who works night shift imagine. I see him at 7-10pm several times a month and dude is always so friendly to everyone way more than expected anywhere else at gas stations. I don’t know what he makes but it’s not enough I watched him deal with a few quarrelsome customers and he never lost his happy demeanor. Homeboy deserves a raise.”
“Cashier very nice helpful, They have rewards you have to sign up for....she showed how very kind. You get 5 drinks free. Also can get money off gallons gas nice deals. Anyways very sweet cashier. Helpful.”
“I bought gas today and a soda. I wasn't signed up for their reward points. The cashier used his and my drink was free!!! I signed up today great things,and customer service!!!”
