I don't have any feelings for or against Circle K<\/i>. I'm glad to stop at one if I need gas or an Interstate \"comfort\" break, but I don't seek them out. I'd always imagined they were pretty stable businesses though -- people are always going to need gas, restrooms and snacks, so I was a bit surprised to see that this one, on Broad River Road next to Rush's<\/i> and across the street from the defunct AMF Bowling Center<\/a> had gone under.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Broad River Road near I-20 isn't doing great in general what with the bowling center gone, Intersection Center (virtually) gone, Dutch Square a shadow of its former self, Pizza Hut<\/a> gone, Hooters<\/i> gone etc.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 21 December 2011<\/b> -- Here are some pictures from 23 October 2011 as work on getting the tanks out and stripping the canopy begins:<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4 April 2012<\/b> -- The new canopy is complete, and as commenter Andrew mentions, \"El Cheapo\" gas pumps have been installed. There is obviously a good bit of work left to do, but apparently it it will be an El Cheapo<\/i>:<\/p>\n

UPDATE 24 August 2012<\/b> -- El Cheapo<\/i> is open (and has been for a while):<\/p>\n
