What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Circle K's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 56 Circle K outlets in Arkansas at the end of 2024, according to one table. This number is derived from starting with 55 outlets at the beginning of 2024, opening 1 new outlet, and closing none.
However, it's important to note that the FDD contains multiple tables with different counts of Circle K outlets, and these counts can vary significantly. Another table indicates that Circle K had 16 outlets at the start of 2024, opened zero, and closed 15, resulting in only 1 outlet at the end of 2024.
These discrepancies may be due to different definitions of what constitutes a Circle K outlet (e.g., whether it includes motor fuel businesses or only standard stores). A prospective franchisee should clarify with Circle K which table is most representative of the type of franchise they are considering and understand the reasons for these differences to accurately assess the market and potential competition.
