We watched our local Holiday gas station come down about 6 months ago and waited in anticipation for Circle K to take it's place. As a family who takes a decent amount of road trips, let me be the first to tell you, we know the good gas stations from the bad. We've come up with gas station jingles, enjoyed meals, and taken our fair share of selfies in front of them, but nothing prepared us for the opening of the Circle K less than a mile away. It wasn't all happiness, though. The kids were really sad to see it wasn't going to be a Holiday as they all had their favorite delicacies and were concerned they would go away with the name. Much to our surprise and excitement, everything came back even better than before.
So we marked the calendar as soon as we saw the 'opening soon' announcement hit the digital sign and made our way over. Its amazing: produce, groceries, treats, beer, wine, dairy, and...DIESEL. All of our expectations were exceeded. It is now our go to for all celebrations, birthdays, well, anything really.
One of the best parts of this whole story is that I took the time to create a social media post about it and people love it. I wish I kept track of how many people asked if we had ownership in Circle K (we don't) or suggested I be a Circle K influencer (LOL). Everyone can relate to gas station excitement has their own two cents to offer. Such a simple thing to bring people together. We love our Circle K loyalty and will find ways to celebrate with them for years to come.
