What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Circle K's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 Circle K outlets in Maryland at the end of 2024, according to one table. Another table indicates there were 7 Circle K outlets in Maryland at the end of 2024. These tables provide a state-by-state breakdown of Circle K outlet activity over a three-year period.
The first table includes information on the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, outlets reacquired from franchisees, outlets closed, outlets sold to franchisees, and the number of outlets at the end of the year. This allows prospective franchisees to see the net change in the number of Circle K locations in a given state.
The second table provides information on the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year. This table gives a more detailed look at the reasons for outlet closures, which can be useful for assessing the health of the Circle K franchise system in a particular state.
It is important to note that the two tables provide different figures for the number of Circle K outlets in each state. The first table appears to include all Circle K stores, while the second table appears to only include Circle K stores that include a motor fuel business. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Circle K which table is more representative of the type of franchise they are interested in.
