I no longer routinely frequent convenience stores. The one exception is I usually fill up my car at a Quick Trip or QT. As far as the history of convenience stores in Dallas, Circle K was always an also-ran. 7 Eleven was king for decades and the competition fell off behind them in varying degrees of "convenience needs satisfaction".
Then 15 years or so ago, Quick Trip revolutionized the business by providing well stocked clean stores with great service and now they dominate the area. Im not sure if Circle Ks are company owned or franchised but this one seems to be independently owned. As i was taking photos for this review,the clerk approached me asking,"why are you taking the pictures"? I explained but not sure he understood.
The inside of the store is geared pretty much as you would expect. It appears it mainly serves customers getting gas outside that need to pick up a drink or candy. In addition, it also appears it's a beer stop. How did you decern that Guy you ask? By the in-your-face Beer Cave that's how. Refer to the photo.
The main reason I came in is to specifically review a Circle K for a Yelp friend. While I was in I decided to purchase a ticket for the Saturday Mega Millions drawing!
