“This is right next to a good car wash. It makes it easy to fill up the tank, and jet across the street to wash your car. I've never been inside this place, but their pumps are clean outside and, while this place does get a lot of traffic, I haven't had to wait for anyone to pump gas.”

“I recently had an issue with my prescription being sent to the wrong pharmacy and had to get it moved to CVS. I was having issues because the other pharmacy would not respond. I was able to get the help of the pharmacist Azza at CVS and she was very kind and helpful to me. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and I really appreciate her service.”

“I was staying at the hotel down the road, and I do not have a vehicle so I appreciated the convenience of this little store. It’s just a few minutes walk. I didn’t go far in as I had stopped in for cigarettes but it looked like they had a good selection of snacks and drinks. Employee was friendly and helpful. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because cigarette prices were much higher than expected. Other than that, great little place.”

“I'm a huge fan of genuine convenience stores and as one thing I've learned traveling is that central Illinois is in a dead zone for true convenience stores, yes I know about Casey's, Haymakers blows everyone else out of the water”

“What can I say about this place other than it is a staple of Champaign County's alcoholism. They have a large variety of booze and it is all inexpensively priced. On top of that, their various locations are strategically placed all along Champaign, so you are always near one. Great place to go to get your alcoholic fix.”

“There was a female employee with colored hair who was tall enough to reach ALL the cigarettes on the shelf. It was kinda intimidating to be honest. 10/10 would not recommend if you’re a short king. Stay classy circle k.”

“I'm from out of town visiting for a week. I stopped in a few times since being here, Latrell was here two of those times. The whole staff has been friendly and professional but Latrell stood out to me, he helped me with a minor issue a few days ago but it was his genuine kindness that stood out to me. Keep that up partner and you're going real far in life, thanks!”
407 E Green St Walgreens, Champaign IL 61820
“They kinda tax you on everything here but it is convenient. I usually just go here to grab medicine when I am sick because it is closer to my apartment than target. I always see people in here getting food though and I don’t know why you would do that because target is right there and unless you physically aren’t feeling well it’s worth the money saved to just head there.”

“This is the only pharmacy in the many available in the chain that makes a genuine effort go the extra mile to find the generic on a ridiculously expensive name brand co pay on a medication I depend on to be able to work with a chronic medical condition. Every other pharmacy in this chain just shrugs and says "it's not here, we don't have it". If asked if they can try to order it, they will give you every excuse as to why that's not an option. This one location goes way out of their way to try their best to get me the $10 generic instead of the $140 copay, a week's pay for me. They are always very nice, and if their lines are long, how is that their fault? What control do you have over how many customers you have vs how many people are available to work at the location? Having a rush of business can and does happen, and this team is friendly and efficient under pressure. I personally appreciate these essential workers in this time of great crisis.”

“It's a gas station with a Subway next to it, and a Amazon locker is right outside.The entrance is easy to get in and out for both streets.I will not have my Amazon stuff shipped here, i just don't feel safe. Looks like some homeless around, and it's pretty dark.Check gas price before coming, that will save you a lot.”

“The people at Circle K, in the Chambana area, are above average decent -- this particular location is interesting because it features a full sized mural of Memorial Stadium, and has related errata, which shows the schedule of the local football games. A nice gas station with nice people, nothing to complain about.”
609 E University Ave, Champaign IL 61820
“I just wanted to take a minute and tell you how great Ed is that works there. Always smiling, helpful and very friendly. If I had my own business, he would be the first person I tried to hire. Saturday mornings are not best time to work. Sleepy inattentive people coming in. But no one has made me feel better.”
1301 S Neil St, Champaign IL 61820
“I was having a bad craving for Doritos at 12:30 in the morning. Ran over to the Circle K because it was open and I knew they'd have Doritos. It was in fact open (I've experienced sometimes gas station convenience marts arent actually open when they say they should be but this one definitely was open). Ran in, got my doritos, browsed for a drink to wash them down with but decided I'd just get something at home, then I paid and left. The cashier was very friendly and polite.”
