After having dinner at the Olive Garden, I needed to find a Circle K to redeem a digital coupon. I did a quick search and found this one. It was a four-minute drive away. Perfect!
It's located in a quiet plaza. Giant Tiger is the largest business there.
There was a lot of free parking. I pulled into a spot near the main entrance and walked in.
I like that all Circle K stores used to be Mac's stores. It's also nice that they are standalone stores, which means that you are likely going to find roller foods and hot drinks. This one met these criteria.
My coupon was for peanuts. I found the section and got barbeque.
It was a hot day. Some cold drinks were in order. I got bottles of Pepsi zero cherry and peach.
I did a bit of browsing. This store has a good selection of ramen. If you have a craving at 2 am, this store is perfect for you.
Someone tried to create a Froster masterpiece. Instead, I saw the sad aftermath at the Froster machine. There was a swirl Froster machine that looked cool. Sadly, it was out of service.
I hit the counter to pay for my drinks and redeem my coupon. The latter went well. I paid with a credit card for the former. All was great.
The female staffer was nice and personable. Maybe she was happy that there was business and a human in the store, as this plaza was extremely quiet.
A male customer walked in after me. He got a Polar Pop and headed back to his classic 70's car with the top down. He stood next to his car and sipped his drink.
It was a nice change of pace being back in Winnipeg.
I got into my rental car and drove back to where I was staying with my goodies. The pop was cold and yummy. The peanuts satisfied my late-night cravings.
I liked visiting this store. I'd go back again when I'm in the area.
