I've been here quite a few times now, at different time throughout the day, on both the weekday and weekends. I think I can give an accurate review of this, as opposed to the one review who came here BEFORE it was even operational. Any place of business, before an opening can be a 5 star place. It's clean, the shelves are stocked, everything appears tip top and perfect. But a real review only comes when you visit a place once it actually open and servicing its customers. Again, I've been here quiet a few times, at different times and different days of the week. And my review, it's definitely 3 stars.
It's a gas station/convenient store located at the corner of 22 Mile Rd and Van Dyke. As of my last visit, their current gas prices are way below anyone else in the area. Why is that, I questioned myself. Is it to lure new customers in? Or is their gas that crappy that it will wreck my truck?? I've yet to research their gas, but I will tell you that I took advantage of their low price last week when I needed to fill up the Party Bus.
The inside of the convenient is very large, almost overwhelming large. They carry wine and beer, and even have a large beer cool. I didn't not check their prices because I find that Kroger's has the lowest price on these items, if I'm purchasing them. They have plenty of hot food items for a quick bite and/or lunch. They even have a few high top seats to sit and eat at, for those who don't like to eat in their cars, or on the go. They have their version of frozen drinks and actually have quite a few flavors but sadly every time I've gone, less than half are working! And the pop and frozen drink area- OMGOSH- GROSS!!! It's always a disaster. Syrup and spills all over the floor and counter. Straw wrappers and lids littering the counter and floors. It was so dirty on one visit that I had to warn my kids to stay back, far away while I tired to fill drinks between the land mines of puddles on the floor. The coffee area is large offers a lot of options, even a $1 coffee deal on Mondays. My problem with this place is they don't offer any kind of reward program for purchasing drinks. 7-11 does a "Buy 6 get your 7th free", and McDs does a "Buy 5 get your 6th free". Circle K does not offer a promotion like that on their self service beverages, instead they reward with a point system that isn't even good. If I'm purchasing a coffee a day, and now that we're coming into warmer weather, lots of frozen drinks- Damn it- I deserve to be rewarded for the many purchases made. This is one of the reason I will not go out of my way to come here. Also, on 2 occasions, I've asked the price of something and multiple employees didn't know. Nor did anyone care to check for me, they simply replied with a "I don't know", and continued to do what they were doing. I've also tried purchasing sale items on 2 occasions and they were sold out, and not 1 employees knew if it when they were getting more in. I realize it's a new place and it will have bugs, but it's not for me. I'll stick with my clean and rewarding 7-11 or McDs for my coffee and frozen drinks. read more
