K motor fuel businesses since July 2011. We have offered Circle K branded businesses since July 2012. As of April 27, 2025 (the end of our last fiscal year), there were 569 franchised Circle K Stores (with or without Motor Fuel Business and/or Branded Business) in the United States operating under similar franchise agreements.
Under a separate franchise disclosure document, since October 2019, we have offered franchises for the operation of a combined retail convenience store and motor fuel business under the "Circle K" trade name and service marks and the Circle K business system for the sale of Circle K-sourced motor fuel under the "Circle K" trade name and service marks and grocery items, consumer goods, food service items and other merchandise ("Other Circle K Franchised Outlets"). TMC continues to offer and sell these Other Circle K Franchised Outlet franchise opportunities under a separate franchise disclosure document. As of April 27, 2025, there were 54 Other Circle K Franchised Outlets in the United States operating under a franchise agreement offered under such separate franchise disclosure document. Certain of the companyoperated Circle K stores identified in Item 20 of this Franchise Disclosure Document are also referenced in item 20 of the other franchise disclosure document pursuant to which we offer the franchise for the Other Circle K Franchised Outlets because such company-operated stores operate under substantially similar operating systems and standards.
