You are aware that your cell phone and car steering wheel have far more germs on them than any lid dispenser at Circle K does, right?

Have you seen the lid dispensers? They are FULL of so much crud! NO THANK YOU. I prefer my fountain drinks to be crud free.

And for urologists or people selling fiber supplements, there's EZ-Go (OK/TX/KS)
I just don't think it's an accident. Hum..... Wag-A-Bag. I'm trying to shake (pun intended) that image.

Marathon Oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Oil
Pump & Munch (country wide)
Loaf 'n Jug https://www.loafnjug.com/storeLocator
Sheetz (PA and out East) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheetz
Cutting Gas C...776 Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in C...776, California
Circle K (AZ) (to a lesser degree).
Pump and Pantry (NE and cross country) Pump N Pantry - Home

It could get even more risqué if these stations decided to merge. I'm just sayin'.
I always have a good chuckle when I'm in the Midwest and see a Kum and Go. I would love to have been sitting at the table when they were debating what to name their company.

Being from Iowa, and growing up in a small town where most of the Cstores in town were Kum & Gos, I never gave it a second thought. I thought it was normal, I was used to it LOL It wasn't until long into adulthood an out of towner made fun of it that I realized it was funny

There used to be a drive-through by the name of Toot & Moo in Tucson which provided milk and other assorted products/services via a window. That was kind of a haha for customers.

There was also a Park & Bark Mobile Grooming service up in Northern Arizona, which was usually parked near a convenience store. Eventually the entire area (including the store) became known as the Park & Bark because of all the barking dogs in their owners' cars!

I've been to Circle K and QT before, nothing special just dime a dozen stores. Aren't they the 7-Eleven and Conoco/76 of PHX, because I don't see any of them here.

There are a few 76 stations around, although they aren't too common.
