What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Circle K's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were varying numbers of outlet transfers from franchisees to new owners depending on the type of Circle K store. For all Circle K stores, there were zero transfers in 2025. However, for Circle K stores that include either a Motor Fuel Business or a Branded Business, there were 32 transfers in 2025.
It is important to note that the figures provided account only for transfers to new owners other than Circle K or its affiliates. This means the total number of transfers could be higher if transfers to Circle K itself were included. A prospective franchisee should consider these figures in light of their own circumstances and preferences, particularly if they anticipate wanting to sell their franchise in the future.
Understanding the distinction between different types of Circle K outlets is crucial. The FDD specifies that outlets in Tables No. 1 through No. 5 refer to Circle K Stores that may or may not include a Motor Fuel Business and/or Branded Business. Tables No. 6 through No. 10 refer to Circle K Stores that include either a Motor Fuel Business or a Branded Business. This distinction highlights the importance of carefully reviewing the tables and definitions within the FDD to fully understand the data presented.
