What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Circle K's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Circle K will provide franchisees with updates to the Circle K Card Guide during the operation of their franchised business. This applies to both Branded Businesses and Motor Fuel Businesses.
For a Branded Business, this obligation is listed under "Continuing Obligations," meaning it's part of the ongoing support Circle K provides after the franchise opens. The specific reference is in Section 5 of the Branding Agreement.
Similarly, for a Motor Fuel Business, this is also a "Continuing Obligation," referencing Section 9(d) of the Motor Fuel Agreement. This ensures franchisees have access to the most current policies and procedures related to card transactions, which is crucial for maintaining consistent operations and customer service.
