Low Risk Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Circle K five times, with records going back to 2024. The most recent report on file is from Jan 16, 2026. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near one violation per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “system maintained in good repair” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to the broader Scottsdale restaurant scene, where the average is 95, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
