“Convienant self service vacumes, full service car wash, gas and store. Rags and window cleaner. Convenient membership options with barcode on windshield they can scan each time making things super easy.”
“Great local beer selection (and limes!), great prices on good quick grub, the Ben&Jerrys freezer is always full, fast n friendly people working…everything I need in my local just-around-the-corner store and more!”
“I work right next door, so I am there often, we have a HUGE employee shortage in SOPO, so you have to give them a pass, maybe they dont work as fast as other worker pre pandemic, but they are kind, thank you, your kindness helped me that day, they look you in the eye, I am horrible with name, like borderline I need to be admitted..... but I asked for theirs names and all I kept saying all the way back to the office is Heather and KAy, 11/21/22m about 11am, These two really helped me, I dont have alot of money, I am just getting back on my feet, they could have embarrassed me but they did not, I was short a little on $$$, we figure it out, and they did not embarrass me, they treated me with respect. It was a slender your wonman, kind of talll, maybe 25-35. The guy he was brown hair, not fat, not skinny, he seemed to be the newest one there. He was really trying and he handled it like a bosss. Thanks guys I see you tomorrow for some more glazed donuts.... ONE LOVE, Cheeers. Odod”
“Stopped to fill up my rental car. The bays are small. There was one vehicle in front of me and I could barely pull up enough for the gas hose to reach my gas tank. Other than that, I liked how close it was to the airport for a fill up.”
“5 stars because Cindy that works nights has the coolest attitude and is very friendly, I enjoy going at night because if Cindy, cigarettes could be cheaper is the reason I don't go often but Cindy is the coolest to see when I go to this Circle K”
“I have lived here for 15 years and have been going to this store since I moved here and have never had a problem. The staff are always very nice and will try to remember you as a customer”
“I came up here from Massachusetts to see my girlfriend and I forgot my meds I was so panicked that because of this I was going to end up on the hospital but thanks to the people at the cvs I got my meds and was able to enjoy my weekend”
“Updating my review: One of the best experiences we have had with a pharmacist! Pharmacist Paula is the most professional helpful Pharmacist we have ever met. She went above and beyond to assist us in navigating the insurance system and filling a prescription! She even assisted us with a cost savings program. CVS is extremely fortunate to have such a fantastic Pharmacist! Thank you Paula! Absolutely fantastic CVS! Kelly, the Operations Manager was extremely professional, friendly and helpful. Kelly assisted us with our purchase and was absolutely a pleasure. CVS is extremely fortunate to have such a fantastic employee. Thank you Kelly!”
“Just thought I'd write a quick review of this store to let people know that as of now it appears to be on the way up. Still a small store, but they are slowly adding more interesting items, with hopes to add more in the future. They are trying to do some deals on some beverages to entice people, probably not my thing, but perhaps of interest to some. I went here a few years ago and the store was so terrible that it took me a long time to go back. The store had little in it and what it did have was boring and overpriced. Some (not all) employees were rude and at least one was preaching a toxic brand of politics. After the departure of the little Subway counter, the store looked unloved, and was not always clean, with poorly maximized space. As I've heard it, the previous ownership was abysmal. Almost seemed to be intentionally sabotaging the space, which is in a convenient location for people in this part of SoPo. Sure, for food, Ferry Village Market is the better bet. But this store has gas and is open a little later, and is no longer unpleasant to browse. Not yet 5 stars, but better than its current rating of 2.6, most of which is due to the previous incompetent ownership. They're trying to do better and, apparently, even open to suggestions. Good to see.”
“While on vacation in Maine, I discovered when I got to my hotel that I forgot to pack a few items - so I stopped in at the first drug store I came across to pick up moisturizing lotion, Tums, and some other odds and ends. Service was good! #CVSPharmacy”
“I had a low tire. An exceptional young man working at this station named Tyler I believe, not only helped me with getting air into the one low tire, but checked all the other tires too before I took off. There are not too many places or employees with this level of customer service. Thank you, Shell and Tyler, for changing the narrative.”

“Convenience store attached to the Shell. Hours aren't accurate online and should be updated. Aside from that, not much to complain of. Has everything you would expect from a gas station convenience store at convenience store prices.”
“Nothing wrong with the store or staff, looked for a 24 hour for some late night snacks, get there at 1145pm, grabbed our handful of snacks and get to the counter only to see a sign stating register will open at 1201 shift change. Ok...by this time I look at my watch, 1148, wait, over 20 minutes at least it's closed (customer in front of us was at the register when we walked in and she said she had been waiting a few minutes already) should advise that a little better 🤷♀”
