Circle K Stores

I only go to this location because it’s close to my place of employment, but I do take my business here quite often. If nothing else, the employees are friendly, quick and they keep the inside of the store clean at all times.
I figured I would finally give this Circle K a review simply because I have been here so many times over the years and will proceed to trek here whenever I need a snack or a hot dog (Or a Death Dog as I call it).
The area it’s located in is a dump, though. South Tucson isn’t exactly a mecca of any sort, but this part of Palo Verde road is about as run down as one can imagine. For this reason, this location doesn’t exactly attract five-​star clientele. There are only two gas pumps and the logistics of the parking lot make it very challenging to park (or leave) during peak hours of business.
It also attracts a lot of beggars and junkies that love to panhandle outside, which can make going to this Circle K a tad uncomfortable. I have no problem helping those in need, but not if it’s the same collective of hobos that deliberately lurk for weeks on end.
What saves this location are the employees and they are the reason I give them my business. They do what they can to make their place of employment as clean and respectable as possible.
Pick this group up and move them to a much nicer Circle K location and it’s an easy five-​star review. But the customers, area, scattered homeless, terrible parking situation and lack of more gas pumps make take away from the overall rating.
