“This is my favorite gas station in the country. It's a true mom and pop shop. The people who run the place are very nice. They might be small, but they have a great selection. It's the only place I can find the seltzer I like. Their liquor selection is also unparalleled. Always a new and interesting bottle here. And diesel fuel!”

“They are open 24 hours for both gas and snacks. Clean, well stocked gas station with public restrooms.I've visited this Circle K a bunch of times, day and night. The workers were always polite, attentive, and helpful. That's always a major bonus for me. They are awesome here.For cigs, their employees are obligated to ask for ID every time (no matter how old you are), and I don't mind it at all. Circle K added this mandatory requirement in Maine to combat underage purchases. It actually made me feel young to be carded again.Awesome place.TEMPORARY NOTE: As of 9/5/23, they are refurbishing this gas station. It's still open 24/7, but the snack and drink options are somewhat limited until the work is finished in October. They still have cigs, candy, sodas, & whatnot.”
