What shopper company took over the Circle K shops?

I have nearly four years doing hundreds of Circle K mystery shops with XXXXX but heard today that they are not going to be doing those for November and December 2021 and into 2022. Does anyone know what shopper company picked these up? Thanks to all. Tim

I have 4 scheduled for early December with their new MSC. I found it with a google search.

Racer, we can't tell you the name of the MSC because you have named the client. But we can tell you stuff like, it might be a Sassie company, or something like that.

The new company is not a Sassie company.

As I have pointed out, there have historically been multiple MSCs, each in a different part of the country with very different shop requirements.

Sorry for any confusion....I wasn't actually trying to say that it was a Sassie Co, just saying someone might give such a hint. I don't actually know who has them.

There was another thread where the moderators deleted a couple of posts because the MSC and client were noted.

I gave a hint on that thread where I've seen them with a new MSC. It's a scheduling aggregator for multiple MSCs.. .And it's definitely not on Sassie or Shopmetrics or Prophet. Enough hints yet? But that's only where I live. I don't know about the rest of the country.

All I can say is there are 100's in my area and the work that it looks like you have to do for the pay is absolutely offensive. It's an app and a website.

Thanks to everyone for their help! Tim in Colorado

What other platforms are out there other than the companies that make there own proprietary apps/sites?
I don't do CK mystery shops but will do audits if the price is right?

The key word is "aggregator" and it's not Jobslinger, Presto or GigSpot.

It's actually the same company but scheduled and reported on this aggregators website.

I'm sorry but I can't do any better than that. I don't know if I can tell the name of the platform because it is not the MSC itself.

In DE, PA, and NJ, the shops start as mystery shops and end as an announced audit. They pay $14 plus up to $2.50 reimbursement and the MSC maintains its own website.

It depends on what state you are in. Circle K sold off over 300 stores earlier this year. The 49 in Oklahoma were bought by Casey's.

In NY there are two different jobs offered. One is a mystery shop and is quick.

The second is a revealed audit where you have to check their food temperatures and logs and other things. I didn't think the $14 fee was worth the time invested. I don't recall if it starts as a mystery shop since I haven't done one of those in about three years.

That is yet a different $14 shop. That is why it gets confusing when people talk about CK shops - they think that they only type is what they personally do. "My" $14 shop starts with a quick mystery purchase to assess the cashier's selling skills. I then return to count missing items. No temperature checks or log.

I do those too in NJ, the easy mystery shop followed by hole count and POP check. I love them and company that handles them.

The scheduler is great. I try to help her with the more out-of-the-way locations (like South Jersey Shore) when I can.

I agree. Deanna is the best! I've done some of those S. Jersey ones too when I'm headed that way.

Well because of your post I decided to try one and it was very straight forward. I will probably do more of them.

I had never looked at the ones that said audit because I thought they were the ones I did several years back with the food temperatures and so forth.

More work, less pay in my area. I won't be doing them. I made 100's of dollars a quarter doing them.
