“I stop here usually, twice a day. different times usually morn and evening. Most staff are AMAZING and go ABOVE and BEYOND. However , there is one employee that can be rude, unpleasant , dry and unpredictable, the type that loves to “ pretend “ when others are around, like he cares about customers. He is Never at the front counter in the evening, when only he is working. u will stand there awhile waiting, when he is or if he comes to check u out, he almost acts as if your a burden, like u interrupted him. When other staff is around he acts casual and polite. …..Yes one of those, besides this employee, they are ALL fantastic here and will try and always make ur day, Jen , Lydia, the red haired lady ( she’s so sweet) and the early early morning boys and all the rest of staff are all fantastic. They have deals and try to stick to them deals even if they do not ring in right. For me that shows they CARE about their customers! Would totally recommend overall !”

“This Place is the best wether you come during the day or at 1am in the morning this place and its people will greet you with a smile and good ole hospitality. I had someone close to me (not saying who) attempt to kill themselves from a nearby bridge and they backed out of it and went to the closest place they could think of. This Circle K.

“I have been coming to this circle k for a few years now, usually in the morning for a small coffee. I will drive the extra few miles to come to this circle k instead of going to the one on Belmont Ave simply because I love the people that work here. The coffee is more then decent and cheap.
