Circle K’s success in the convenience retailing industry spans more than 60 years. Their roots trace back to 1951 when Fred Hervey purchased three Kay’s Food Stores in El Paso. Little did anyone know that these stores would just be the beginning.

During the next few decades, Circle K grew its retail network through a series of acquisitions, which were incorporated into the Circle K brand. By 1975, there were 1,000 Circle K stores across the U.S. In 1979, Circle K entered the international market when a licensing agreement established the first Circle K stores in Japan. The company’s growth continued and, by 1984, sales had reached $1 billion.

In 1999, a franchise program was introduced to support operators looking to build a business with a leading convenience store brand. In 2003, Circle K was acquired by Alimentation Couche-Tard and has developed into a global brand represented in over 20 countries. Today Circle K has become one of the most widely recognized convenience store brands, known worldwide for quality products and great customer service.

An eatery is rumored to be inside the convenience store, however, we have no confirmation as to which one at this time.
