Circle k - a car parked in front of a circle k convenience store - Convenience Stores Near Me - Prairieville, Louisiana

gas station and mini mart are well kept up, the bathroom is another story. lol. Men's bathroom was terrible. Piss all over the floor. The bathroom had a really bad smell and couldn't really walk to use the stall, ground was just caked in urine and paper. Was very nasty. Ugh. Worst I've seen on the trip had to say something. read more

Look I was pumped when they built this new store just past the existing Race Trac and Exxon because past experiences with this C-store chain around the state of Louisiana has shown me they are always below their competitors when it comes to fuel prices but alas that's not the case with this store... as a result I don't visit this location as much as I expected However I have stopped in on several occasions when they briefly had better fuel prices than the others or needed some snuff when I've been on the north side of the interstate, things like that... I have reviewed a number of C-stores in my time as a Yelper and there ain't really any new ground to plow in this review as they have it all like other big C-stores from soup to nuts, chips to candy, beer to water and everything in between along with the usual suspects from the automotive category such as oil, brake fluid, anti-freeze etc... But getting in and out is a breeze as you have a traffic light controlling entrance and exit from this store and the parking lot is well lit and of a nice large size for any needed maneuvering... If you need to stop in here you won't be disappointed in what they offer, I'm pretty sure... read more

This location is hit and Miss on customer service. It depends on which cashier you get. One cashier with beads in her hair is the worst. Stays on her phone, and if she's in a bad mood, you may as well bag your own stuff. All of them are on their phone usually. Why do these places let their employees use their phones while on duty is beyond me. read more

This place is the latest addition in a surge of "country club" gas stations (clean, sparkly new with frivolities such as gourmet coffee and frozen yogurt bars) to pop up in the Prairieville/Geismar area. When I first saw the place under construction back in the fall, I will admit that my first thought was "another fucking gas station? That's the last thing we need! Why can't we get something kick ass at this exit like a Dairy Queen or a Panera Bread?" But I must say that I believe in giving credit where credit is due and this new Valero Corner Store is a bad ass little gas station. The inside ... Sparkles! Yes, it literally sparkles with its shiny newness and glory. The gas prices are comparable to the Racetrak and Exxon stations down the road. Since the Racetrak was resurrected a couple of years ago the gas prices at exit 173 have been much more reasonable, and I would think with the added competition of the Valero it will most likely stay this way. The pumps have the little lock slits on the lever thing so you don't have to stand there holding it in order to pump your gas which I know is always a plus for older, arthritic people or wasted away weaklings such as myself. As for the convenience store you will find much more than diet coke, Cheetos, and a broken slush puppy machine. This place has everything! They have a beautiful, yes BEAUTIFUL, coffee bar that would give any Starbucks, PJs, Tim Horton's, or Biggbys a run for their money. They have 3 beautifully maintained cappuccino machines: one with normal cappuccino fare, one with an array of different vanilla flavored cap, and one with a selection of chocolate mocha varieties. I even saw strawberry shortcake cappuccino! I had the vanilla nut flavor and it was pretty damn delectable. Exquisite for a gas station cappuccino. The problem with gas station or any instant cappuccino machines for that matter is the tendency for them to spew out sticky, lukewarm, sugar water into the cup instead of a yummy, frothy cappuccino. God, I hate that! Especially when it happens half way through so you have half a cup of cappuccino and then half a cup of sticky, watery mess and you still feel obligated to pay for it even though it's more sticky suet than coffee. I've had the pleasure of having cappuccino from this Valero twice and the machine gave me a perfect cup of vanilla nut flavor each time, and no sugar water nastiness. Yay! The icing on the cake- they have a machine that offers a smorgasbord of different creamer flavors. They have normal flavors of course, but they also have the highfalutin, country club coffee house ones such as Irish cream, amaretto, you get my drift. They also have cinnamon, chocolate, and vanilla sprinkles you can sprinkle into your coffees just like at Starbucks or PJs. The best thing is since it's gas station coffee it's cheaper than a brew from a trendy coffee house. Since I only live like two minutes away this will become my new haven for my afternoon-pick-me-up coffee. It will be like my Cheers. The coffee bar isn't the only game this place has. They have a F'real shake machine with all the yummy flavors: cookies and cream, peanut butter cup, yum yum! A bakery with fairly decent baked goods. Shit such as donuts, long johns, and cookies. No, they don't have Grandma in the back homemaking the baked goods from scratch, after all it's NOT the Pepperidge Farm, but the oatmeal raisin cookies aren't bad. They were a little hard around the edges, BUT it was late on a Sunday evening when I bought them. I bet they are just fine when delivered fresh. This place is so clean that everything glistens with cleanliness. The floors shine. The lights shine. The tile on the walls. Even the metal rungs inside the case that the hot dogs, brats, pork tamales, (yup pork tamales) sit on is so squeaky clean you can even see your reflection in it. It's like Cinderella lives there and she's constantly cleaning the place for you. The bathrooms are so shiny new and clean that divas such as Mariah Carey and J. Lo could use the toilets without having to change the toilet seats. Major props and ownage! For those trying to eat clean while out on the road they do have a selection of what looked to be decent salads. I used to tour with a rock band so I've had my share of gnarly gas station salads and sandwiches where the plastic cheese was like melted into your piece of lame, soggy, Wonder bread. I haven't tried any of the sandwiches or salads from this Valero, but they looked just fine and at least Walmart quality. Again, getting the salads after they've been freshly delivered is probably key. They also had a mighty selection of Greek fancy pants yogurt such as Chobani. Vanilla nut cappuccinos, gourmet creamer dispensers, and Chobani yogurt ... I'd say the American gas station has come a long way since the days of burnt yet cold hot dogs, gnarly Hot Stuff pizza, and watered down slush puppies. Methinks this place is a solid addition to the Valero dynasty. read more

Circle k - A half and half machine. Respect. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Prairieville, Louisiana

Traveled a lot construction was a good place to stop getting beer cigarettes and snacks bathroom. Thanks JoMarie Stiles.

Rude employees, talking amongst each other while people waiting in line backing up, music blaring, one employee finally removed the register closed sign and stood there never saying a word to any Customers waiting inline.. just plain terrible! read more

Clean- great place to stop and rest with the kids. Grab a few snacks and updated cold drinks! It's a little out of the way from I-10, but worth it. Especially because you just don't know what's up ahead. - didn't interact with cashiers... except from when we paid. They were arguing loudly with each other- which was kind of funny. -plenty of snacks and great variety of cold drinks including frozen drinks like an 'icee' for the kids. 4 flavors to choose from. -loved fountain drinks. Updated, push button service. Choice of speciality mixes. i.e. Diet Coke with cherry, lime, orange, vanilla or regular. Good sale on candy and updated products. *Yes, sell lottery. Definitely recommend! read more

Cashiers were super rude on her phone while checking out and threw my items in bag. The other bumped into me to hand cashier her personal phone and didn't bother to say excuse me. read more
