A Circle K gas station and mini mart is being constructed just outside of Schnepf Farms.
The Circle K broke ground on Jan. 20 on the northwest corner of East Rittenhouse and East Riggs Road. Schnepf Farms is at 24810 S. Rittenhouse Road.
“The Schnepf Family insisted that the property's design complement the land it sits on and our surrounding farm, so this will be the first ever rustic country look for a Circle K,” said Mark Schnepf, co-owner of Schnepf Farms. “Circle K is referring to it as their new ‘Flagship Store’ because they have never built anything that looks like it.”
The new Circle K is being built to blend in with the area's agritainment district.
In September 2021, the Queen Creek Town Council approved a conditional permit and site plan for the Circle K. The conditional-use permit is for fuel sales. The site plan approval is for approximately 2.04 acres of land.
