This Circle K became my go-to place to redeem digital coupons while I was in Ottawa. The funny thing was that I had never intended to drop by this store. The city has a high number of standalone Circle K store, which is cool and different to me. Markham does not have any to my knowledge. Circle K stores tend to be attached to Esso stations in my area. My original plan was to visit the one on Laurier Avenue East. Sadly, I couldn't find a spot to park. I attempted to go around the block and ended up at this store on Osgoode Street instead. I found street parking all three times. There was a small parking lot on the right when you are looking at the store. However, it looked like it was for another business, so I completely skipped giving parking there a try. What stands out about this store is the large variety of Froster flavours. The number of flavours was easily in the double digits. Insane! I got a couple of Frosters here. I did Barq's root beer with lime Crush. I also did Mountain Dew purple thunder and orange Crush. Both were small and a lot of fun consuming on hot summer days. Staff are friendly here. They do enjoy doing upselling. I ended up getting Tic Tac candies. There was some deal going on. They did come in handy. Otherwise, I said no to everything else that they were trying to sell me. I got a number of AriZona drinks here. The selection was wonderful. I never duplicated my flavours. I realize that practically all my purchases were beverages. I also got a small English toffee. I wasn't sure if I could down a hot drink on a 30+°C day. I did it in my car and it was enjoyable. If you are a coffee drinker, this store has Monin sugar-free syrups to make your coffee fancier. I loved this addition. This store has a number of prepackaged foods, such as sandwiches and hamburgers. I loved this setup. There was a huge counter in the middle of the store with a microwave. My last visit wasn't the best, though. The place had replaced the medium Polar Pop cups with large ones. I had a coupon for a free medium Polar Pop. Since there weren't any medium cups, I thought that grabbing a large one where it clearly said medium would be fine. Nope, this place did not honour my redeeming my medium drink with a large cup. It was ridiculous. If you can stock large cups in your medium cup dispensers, and you only have large cups, you should let customers go large. Provide good customer service and delight your customers. Instead, I took a sip of my cream soda in my large clear cup and gave it back to the man at the counter. I then left. I ended up redeeming this coupon when I got back home. Other than that nonsense, it is a great Circle K to visit. (273) read more
