Ladies, ladies, ladies, Scottsdale is on some were shit, please be careful. I was walking into the women's restroom lastnight on Thursday, when there was a man walking out zipping his pants up. I didn't even go in the restroom. I just ended up leaving and the man that works in there is always pouty and for some reason he was not pouty Because he knew he was wrong for letting a man go in the women's restroom.. so just be careful and mindful. read more

I think the only thing holding this place together is Gary (aka retired rockstar), who only works here a few days a week now. I've been coming to this location for almost 20 years. And this location used to be the shining star and a pristine example for all Circle K's in the valley. Always clean. Always stocked. Not anymore. The bathroom has been broken for who knows how long. I don't drink soda, but there are out of order signs on a lot of fountain drink dispensers. I've been drinking iced tea in the morning. But it is a hit or a miss on whether there is going to be any tea made. If Gary is working, it is almost a guarantee that I'll be able to get my tea, if they have any in stock. If he is not working, then i can bank on the tea containers being empty. All offerings should be available 24/7. I could go in at 5:30 am or 7:30 am and on a day Gary is not there, 70% of the time, no tea is made. I've taken to going and checking the containers before i grab a cup and fill it with ice. Oh and if you play scratchers/lottery, you are an early worker bee and stop by before 6am... good luck wanting to buy or check/claim winning lottery tickets. For some reason, this location does not sell or check before 6am. It's like corporate is letting this one die a slow death. Maybe so they can sell the property cause there's now 2 vacant lots just south of the building. And that corner i see as prime real estate. $$$$$$$$ If this one goes belly up, I hope Gary can move to one of the locations near my house. read more

While I agree with Lauren and Katrina (the yelpers that wrote reviews of this Circle K location) prior to mine, I cannot bring myself to give more than four stars to a Circle K that has no gas! Isn't that what Circle K is known for? Gas? Gas lacking aside, this Circle K has become my latest go-to stop when I'm in need of a quick drink or snack while I'm on the run... I've found myself hitting up this store at least once a week to pick up a cold Diet Coke, Mountain Dew, pack of gum, nutrition bar, etc... I love that they have all different flavors of Emergen-C fountain drinks available too - this is the only place I've seen this. On top of the fine selection of snacks and drinks galore, I noticed that they also carry dog food and various other random items that may come in handy if you don't feel like schlepping to a CVS or Walgreen's. Prices are comparable to most gas stations, at least for the items I've purchased here. Best of all? The guy that works at this location whenever I go is extremely friendly and seems very sincere every time I go in. I'll have to get his name next visit - he really deserves to be mentioned by name for his superior customer service. It's rare you find that at a (gas) station / local chain store. read more

I have been in hundreds of Circle K stores and in some locations hundreds of times. This by far is the best location. It's always clean and well stocked, but most important, the staff here is professional, and friendly!!! I am always amazed by the contrast of The Circle K closest to my house on Roosevelt/ Continental rd at Scottsdale rd That location is so poorly run with disheveled employees, dirty and cluttered store, never stocked well, incorrect price tags, overflowing trash cans outside the front doors and odd hours. they would get 1 star from me. These 2 stores although less then 2 miles apart can not have the same manager. read more

The store itself has great selection of beverages and such and staff is generally friendly. There can be a sketchy character or two that hang around outside now and then. But generally a safe place. I would give it 4 stars maybe except for the only cashier last night, NO mask (wow). There is a plexiglass barrier but that's poor protocol. read more

I have a secret and it's a blockbuster! I know the location of the Best Circle K on the planet!!!! It's right here...really...right friggin' here! It's one of those situations where the stars all aligned and everything turned out perfectly...we don't know why and we don't want to question divine providence...we just want it to continue to be great! Over the years, I've seen my share of Circle K's, 7-11's, AM/PM's and their locally owned brethren...most of them smell and look like an overheated dorm room after a drunken 12 person orgy (don't ask me how I know this...I would have to tell you and you just can't "unhear" some things). And while I (much like you) need to occasionally use one of these markets ("what!...I thought you were bringing ice"..."we're out of butter on Thanksgiving?"..."oh well...off I go!"), I have tried to keep those foray's short and when I do have to drop in, I usually wear latex gloves so I don't actually have to come into contact with any surfaces in these places. However, this particular Circle K is so very clean (I guess to keep the resort trade from the Valley Ho and the squatters living in the remains of the now defunct Ramada Inn across the street, happy), and so very well stocked and run, that it will alter your understanding of what the phrase "convenience store" is really supposed to mean! To wit: * Want Costco like special prices on a large selection of some really terrific wines and specialty beers? This Circle K has 'em! * You need a quick refill on either infant or adult diapers?...Drop by for a "reload". * Want a decent cup of coffee on the go? Circle K fills the bill (no, it's not as good as Sola's coffee, but geez, it's 1/2 the price of those places and for the price, it's really a decent cup of coffee) * How about a hot, dog, polish, one of those rolled burrito dealies or a slurpee?...you can get any of those and much more in a non-sticky, non-smelly, clean and friendly environment! * Need Handy Wipes for the "homeless shower" since there isn't water and electricity at the Ramada...done and done! I want to emphasize...this is the best Circle K on earth...right here in the friendly confines of Old Town Scottsdale (and Old Town Scottsdale really is friendly...why just this morning, I found a used condom on the street while I was out walking Deedee...what could be friendlier than that!?!?) The employees here are all pleasant and helpful, the shelves are clean, organized and well stocked, the drink and food areas are scrupulously clean...you get a choice of crushed or cubed ice...and you'll always get a smile and gracious "thanks" from the clerks (even when I use my credit card for an $0.86 drink!) So, for three plus years of consistently great service, clean surroundings and for being there when I needed them, a solid 5 stars as the very best of the convenience store breed! read more

There's a guy who works here who looks like a retired rock star. I have a theory: He's not anyone that I recognize, so maybe he was big in Japan and his music will finally get big here in the States in about 20 years and it'll be considered groundbreaking. By the looks of him, he retired willingly, because he still has a lust for life, but one day he decided, "You know what? I got all the sex I ever desired, all the drugs I ever wanted to take and enough money so I'm going to retire." And with that, he entered the Rock Star Relocation Program and took up a job at the Circle K on Indian School Road in Scottsdale. He brought the rock star passion with him and became the best cashier in the entire known world. Even though I only pop in once every other month, he remember me, remembers what smokes I buy and charms the shit out of me. FIVE STARS. read more

Hark, what haven is this?! This is THE most well-stocked Circle K I've ever come across in my travels. There are no gas pumps at this location, but there is just about everything you could need on a pit stop. And by that I mean booze, and lots of it. I'd just about given up on convenience stores having anything besides the most basic of American beers and a six pack of Heineken or Sam Adams, if you're lucky, all jammed into one refrigerator. Not here. You want wine? They got multiple shelves and bottles that don't stop at Yellow Tale Merlot and Chardonnay. They've even got CHILLED whites that you won't be embarrassed to bring to a dinner party if you're in a pinch. An extensive liquor selection includes just about anything you could get at a grocery store - Absolute or Smirnoff (in all their flavors), several whiskeys, champagnes (I guess that should have been noted above in my wine section), rums, tequilas; you get the idea. Small bottles, big bottles - and all (including the wines) for an average price, too. And the service ain't too shabby either. As a friend and I perused the smaller bottles of Smirnoff (for $7.99), the worker was nice enough to mention we could get about twice that for $2 more because it was on sale. Wow....thanks, buddy! Ok, I didn't get a chance to really inspect the beer selection, but it took up an entire back wall of refrigerated shelves AND there's a "beer cave" for cases. As we checked out, we mentioned how impressed we were with the selection, and the same worker said they also carry Cristal, Dom and all the other hip-hop video favorites, too (they are currently in the back and need to be asked after, as they experienced a smash and grab two weeks prior). I'm guessing this all has to do with the store's proximity to Hotel Valley Ho (the booze selection, not the crime), but that's just a guess, and it hardly matters. Three cheers for Indian School and 64th St Circle K! read more

Billy r, I am on board with the retired rock star dude theory. Who is he? Just plain awesomeness. How is it possible that he is always so pleasant? I don't know, but I do know that I appreciate a warm smile and a genuine person any time of day. Kudos to loving your job rock star dude! read more

Are you at the Hotel Valley Ho? Do you need water, snacks, booze, etc? This is right around the corner. Sadly I didn't see the retired rock star employee mentioned in other reviews but perhaps you will have better luck. read more

Wish I could give this convenient store more stars, because it is clean and well kept. HOWEVER the lady working the cash register was probably one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. Rolling her eyes at us, talking down to us when we asked her a questions. I don't expect top notch service when I'm just running into a convenient store to grab a cup of coffee, but I certainly didn't expect to have this horrible experience. read more

I call this Circle K MY Circle K. It is a short bike ride from my house. I go there every morning for coffee... yes, I like the Circle K house blend. It is delicious. This particular Circle K is neater and cleaner than most you will find anywhere. It has a stylish brick like interior and it is a mecca for booze shopping. It has everything from 1/5s to handles of premium to well liquor. A wide selection of wine, including chilled wines. 18 packs of light shitty beer ALWAYS $13.99. I see them advertised for more at major stores when they are on sale. Guiness draft 6 packs AND Samual Smith's Oatmeal Stout, Nut Brown and Tadcaster bombers (not joking!). Bogle Petite Sirah, well yes... and to top it off... $9.99! It also has the typical Circle K crap like jalapino filled cheese things that you find on the heated rolling rack. I never touch those, but they are there. Red Box out front. What can I say, I love my Circle K. The entire crew that works there are sooo cool. I feel lucky to have it in my life. read more

Probably the cleanest circle k in the state everything always works rarely anything is not stocked my only problem is some of the cashiers don't know when to shut their fucking mouths read more

The staff is always nice, but so many if these are old and grungy. The owners need to update them.

I have a Circle K half a block from my home and drive to this one instead every morning for coffee refills because GARY (whom I think may be the aforementioned retired rock star) is a shining ray of light. He knows and remembers so many people (including me) and keeps me returning. I really do have a happy Monday when he wishes me one! read more

Super convenient location! Great selection of adult beverages!

yes -- this is an awesome Circle K,, and it is so Clean... mostly due to the diligence of the "retired rockstar" dude... the guy never stops... I think he does everything on a run. His name is Gary BTW--- just thought you guys would like to know. I hope Circle K knows how very lucky they are to have him. Because in the world of Corner store Employees - this guy truly stands head and shoulders above the rest. read more

I guess people are OK with bad customer service based on previous comments, I however am not. For 8 years I have been reluctantly going into this location to get gas for my vehicle and the occasional coffee. It never fails that when there are two or more individuals working, only one is actually "helping" customers, the other two are usually holding a conversation that has nothing to do with work. What is even worse is when the individual that is "helping" customers is actually having a conversation with some that is also supposed to be helping customers and neither are actually paying attention to the customers. I'm done with Circle K as this seems to be a trend with one exception being the location in oldtown Scottsdale at 70th street and Indian School. read more
