Surprise: Somehow This Is Idaho’s Favorite Gas Station

During my travels, I've noticed that while Jackson's and Maverik dominate the landscape, Circle K has quietly established itself as a reliable option for those in the know. Though less common in these parts, Circle K's strategic locations across Idaho make it a favorite for road-weary travelers seeking convenience and quality.

Let's be honest about all these gas stations. For the most part, they all have the same stuff. If the location is bigger, then you're going to have more options. Yes, Buc-ee's is on another level. Casey's has its pizza, and then there is Wawa, depending on where you live.

Despite seeing fewer Circle K stores around the Treasure Valley than its competitors, according to Freebets.com, it's the most popular gas station in Idaho. Here's the methodology: "In October 2024, we asked 2,500 Americans to tell us about their favorite gas station convenience store chains. Respondents were only asked about gas station convenience store chains with locations in their state, and only chains whose locations are both gas stations and convenience stores were included."

Those of you who love hitting the road probably have a favorite. Whether it's Mavericks, Jackson, or Circle K, there's a reason you have a favorite, and that's all that matters. I will say that it doesn't matter what gas station you go to, there's something about a gas station hotdog that just hits differently.
