Tips:
- This store has Frosters, but no Polar Pops.
- The limited peppermint white hot chocolate is yummy and pink!
I originally wrote this review in July 2024. I asked that the old Mac's listing be changed to Circle K. Yelp decided to flag Mac's being closed and to create this blank listing.
Not cool.
Here's my original review:
I was in the southern part of Winnipeg during my second full day. I needed to redeem a digital coupon and find a Circle K. I found this one and drove over to it.
The Yelp listing currently states that it's a Mac's convenience store. Winnipeg once had a bunch of Mac's stores, but they have all been converted to Circle K. I know that the one in Osborne Village was a Mac's for the longest time. It's weird seeing it as a Circle K.
There were plenty of parking spots in front of this store. I backed into one and walked in.
What I love about the Circle K stores in Winnipeg is that they are all standalone ones. They all have hot dogs, sausages, and taquitos rolling in front of you. There are hot coffee and chocolate machines. They all don't have weird, doughy pizza slices. It's heaven!
I had a digital coupon for a free Prime drink. I found the cold beverages section and grabbed one.
I also saw a deal on Old Dutch popcorn twists. I love them so much. Two bags were going for $4. I'd probably get the munchies in the evening, so it was fitting to get two.
I had the nicest man at the counter. He said that he'd give me a third bag of popcorn twists for an extra dollar. Done! Maybe he just knew that I had the face of a popcorn twists fan.
Circle K digital coupons work Canada-wide. I had no problem redeeming mine. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth.
You can't collect PC Optimum points at Circle K stores in Winnipeg. They aren't attached to an Esso station.
I liked dropping by this store. It was the closest one to where I was staying. I'd love to return when I'm in the area. I had a great experience.
My addendum visiting this store today:
The same nice man was there. He said hi to me when I walked in.
This store has Frosters only. Finding Polar Pops is tough these days.
I had a coupon for a small hot drink for $1. Since it's frigid in the prairies, I got a small peppermint white hot chocolate. It was pink and delicious!
I also got two Fuze drinks. I consumed the raspberry iced tea by the time I reached Richfield, Minnesota. I have my sugar-free lemon iced tea left to enjoy.
This Circle K is great to grab drinks as I make my way across the border. I didn't do it last year on that road trip, but I'm glad that I stopped by today.
