“Review written 02/09/2026. Spacious gas pumps and pretty clean. Be sure to enter your phone number for Circle K rewards points, it took several cents off per gallon for me.”
“Small location but big on service. Everything is laid out neatly but compact. Ever staff member is helpful but they encourage self check out. There is a small carts area that always have smaller carts, often used for walkers, or just to put that extra something in. They always have something on sale. The long iconic receipts CVS, often used as a scarf in the winter months, has become an app. Its not nearly as fun. Parking is around the store and decently lit. The store itself is accessable, with the exceptions of the clearance and seasonal aisles, as items rotate seasinally. The freezer, food, and sweets sections are almost always well stocked. Tjere is a small choclate endcap. My insurance no longer allows me ti usr their which is a shame, as they are good at answeting questions. Drive a little farther and there are less students than the popular Green Street location, it has a more of a small shop feel.”
“Thorntons Store #385 Is 5-Star!! Cora & Jamera gave excellent service, they were inviting, polite and accurate. Highly Recommended Thorntons Location!!!”
“Came to this location due to my CVS not having the medication that I needed. The customer service here is fantastic. Much better than the CVS in Schnucks. I have transfered all of my prescriptions to this location.”
