Circle K

This is THE gas station of the UNC Charlotte community. Whether I’m on my way into campus and drop in to grab my regular «79¢ Thirst Buster,» or filling up my tank on my way home this gas station is ALWAYS a buzz. The stores’ convenient location to the college campus and great prices on tasty treats have proven to be a hit with those who live in the area. The staff members at this location are very kind and efficient. When I come in, I hardly ever have to wait in a line to pay for my purchases. The store, itself, is very well kept and stocked. The rows of snacks, beverages and personal care items are precisely placed for the convenience of the customer. However, my favorite thing about this gas station is that it has a RED-​BOX!!! (an added plus for movie connoisseurs like myself) This gas station truly is my one stop shop. I can fill up my tank, grab a cheap snack, pick up a movie, and wet my whistle with the larger than life 79¢ Thirst Buster. It’s no wonder their pumps are always packed!

I’ve gotta agree with the previous poster that this one particular Circle K is quite nice. It must be a fairly new location. They have a walk-​in cooler where you can get larger quantities of alcohol. They also have a large assortment of sunflower seed flavors which coincidentally is the exact reason we went. The only gripe other than being above the average price for gas in the area is that the line was pretty long. The 1 guy just kept ringing people up at 2 registers to keep it moving, but it still was a bit slow. I’m definitely impressed by his work ethic though. Some slightly shady looking people later at night when I went there though, but they might’ve just been shady looking and not actually shady.

This Circle K is surprisingly nice! I am used to seedy convenience stores with grimy floors and grimier patrons, but this one is in good shape. All visible surfaces were clean and, even though it was late in the day, my coffee was fresh. You can’t ask for more from a simple convenience store.
