A Circle K convenience store and fuel station is in county review at 8710 W Lake Ruby Drive, as part of a larger master development that records also tie to a Publix.

County records show a site plan for a Circle K at 8710 W Lake Ruby Drive in Winter Haven. The plan describes a 3,963-square-foot building, 12 fueling positions, underground tanks, and a dumpster enclosure. The application notes the site will be part of a master development.

Several related county filings at the same address are labeled "Publix at Traditions," covering road and driveway work on Lake Ruby Road β€” including a driveway apron and a maintenance bond for two lanes. That suggests the Circle K sits within a broader commercial development anchored by a Publix, though the records don't spell out the full site layout.

The Circle K site plan was filed in October 2026 and is marked a partial application headed for Development Review Committee action. No opening date is given.

What happens next

The Circle K site plan goes through Development Review Committee review. Related road-work sureties for the larger development remain active or awaiting completion.
