“Well a holiday now circle k has been here for a long time. Staff are nice always when I'm traveling through. I remember the time I was traveling through and someone had to put like hundreds of woodticks inside the bathroom cuz they were tons on the floor the walls, the toilet and the sink.. lol... Because that many couldn't of just came into just that area by themselves. Unless someone went bush walking and the fell from someone lol but I still remember that evening... I just turned back around. Lol.. but anywho they have a little table area also if anyone needed a little break and to drink a coffee or a snack. Just feel they maybe should put the tables somewhere else not by the bathrooms lol but otherwise a good stop every time.”
