 Business TypeFranchiseInitial Investment$636,000 to $1,253,000Number of Units2,179In Business Since1951 OverviewWhy would you open a Circle K Franchise? The convenience store industry marked its fourth consecutive year of growth in 2006, "surging 15%," as reported by the National Association of Convenience Stores. Industry sales revenues reached $569.4 billion in 2006, recording a $74.1 billion increase (17.9%) over 2005, and almost doubling sales from 2002. In-store sales rose 8.3% in 2006, as compared to a 5% increase in 2005. We may be biased, but we think the convenience store industry – already massive in size – is poised for even greater growth in the future.  Products & Services Your neighborhood Circle K offers
the freshest beverages and food, quality gasoline, merchandise, and
financial services. Plus, almost every Circle K location is open 24
hours of every day including holidays. Phone Zone We sell top-up refills for all major pay-as-you-go wireless phones including Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, GoPhone® from AT&T, and many others.

FRONT & BACK OFFICE SYSTEMS Today's convenience store represents a demanding environment that must balance the needs of the consumer along with the requirements of the business. We will offer our Franchisees the tools to achieve this balance while revolutionizing the consumer buying experience. Why Circle K? So why franchise with Circle K?
Because it’s a win-win proposition for you. If you are already an
independent store owner with little or no local competition, Circle K
can provide you operational advantages to keep you on top. If you’re

recognized convenience store chain, you need to have a powerful brand
of your own – Circle K – to help you retain your existing customers and
attract new ones. CIRCLE K ORIENTATION This is an initial opportunity for you to review the offering and for us to get to know you before any agreement is signed or fees are paid.
