It's on the northwest corner of Leslie Street and Wellington Street East. I pulled into the gas station. There are roughly seven parking spots in front of the store. All were taken, except for the one that requires an accessible parking permit. Instead, I parked next to the car wash. I started a brief trend, as another driver did the same thing. This convenience store is the largest Circle K that I have ever visited. On my left was a fairly large Tim Hortons. The Froster and Polar Pop machines were next to it. I needed to get a couple of Frosters. The flavour selection was decent. I did two medium Frosters. One had Mountain Dew major melon as the base and Sour Patch Kids sour cherry blasters on top. My other drink was all Barq's cream soda. The right side of the store had everything else. It looked vast. The cold beverages took up an entire wall that felt endless as I was standing in line to pay for my drinks. I got to the counter and said hi to the man. I scanned my coupon first. I had my PC Optimum barcode scanned first, and then paid with a credit card. Done! I find that some Circle K stores have straws available to the public and others don't. I asked this man whether there were straws. He let me know that they were to the right of the Polar Pop machine. I thanked him and wished him a happy new year. I headed over to get a couple of straws. They are paper ones, but they tend to be better than most that disintegrate after a couple of hours. I enjoyed both Frosters. The one with melon and sour cherry worked nicely. I liked getting watermelon first, with hints of sour cherry that strengthened in flavour as I continued to indulge. My favourite is anything that is cream soda. I love Barq's. The Froster version is yummy. I had a decent experience here. I hope to get a real parking spot the next time I'm here. (2)

The only problem about this little convenience store is there is no where to park and sometimes it is hard to get too as everyone parks their cars in the way!

I remembered this store on the northeast corner of Kennedy Road and Finch Avenue. I had never been there. It was time to pay it a visit. I drove down Kennedy Road after having seen my dentist. I made a left-hand turn into the Esso station. All parking spots in front of Circle K were occupied, except for the spot for those with an accessibility parking pass. Instead, I pulled off to the side, closest to the gas station sign on Finch Avenue. I then walked over. This store is large. It has a lot of products to absorb. I saw Atypique non-alcoholic cocktails. I can see myself cracking one open as I start a road trip because I want to feel fancy... haha! Tim Hortons is at the back when you first walk in and stare ahead. To the right of it are the Polar Pop and Froster machines. The payment area is on the left. This store was doing steady business, which was nice to see. I got AriZona teas. I like that there was fruit punch and mango. I typically get green tea and watermelon. I welcomed the change. I also needed peanuts. I found them where you enter the lineup to pay for your items. The man at the counter was friendly and he anticipated that I had coupons. "Ah, Rock, Paper, and Scissors (game) is back!" he said. "Yes, I'm happy!" I exclaimed with perhaps too much enthusiasm. He asked me if I needed a bag. I was okay saving one and carrying my stuff to my car. I scanned my coupon barcodes. I then scanned my PC Optimum barcode and paid with my debit card. He thanked me and wished me a great day. I reciprocated. It's nice that my fridge looks like a mini Circle K store again. I can't wait to try the mango drink later on today. I like this store equally as much as the one on Steeles Avenue East, across from Walmart. Distance-wise, they are pretty close to being equidistant from my home. I can't go wrong either way. I like the products here. Service is excellent, too. (194)

The staff there was friendly and helped me with my package and I was on my merry way. It also left me wondering how this store is able to be in business given this location is probably more convenient if people have cars and there are many grocery stores nearby that offer more products. So I don't know if they attract many people for just snacks and junk food. I suppose they also have a lottery machine here too. They open quite late on the weekdays so it's convenient to pick up a package at a flexible time. Holding period is only 5 days though.
