If you are looking for information on the Circle K franchise business opportunity, Circle K convenience store franchises or Circle K franchising, then you have come to the right place.
Why would you open a Circle K Franchise? That's really a two-part question, and we have a good answer for both.
Did you know the convenience store industry achieved $283 billion in sales in 2001 (up 5% from the prior year), according to the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) 2002 state of the industry report. We may be biased, but we think the convenience store industry - already massive in size - is poised for even greater growth in the future.
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 an independent store owner who competes against a large, nationally 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.
So many advantages, so little time. As a Circle K franchisee, you receive business assistance that independent operators cannot leverage. You get national brand recognition, consistent messaging across all Circle Ks to extend your reach and advertising buck, centralized purchasing power, and established vendor relationships. You'll be so busy helping customers that you may feel pressed for time. But in reality, the assistance saves you time and frees you to focus on your customers.
