The chain will offer discounts on a variety of products and services, including:

  • Dispensed Beverages: From 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., 50% off dispensed, valid on Froster, Polar Pop cups and coffee (iced and hot).
  • Prepared Foods: From 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., 50% off hot foods, valid on pizza slices, Circle K sandwiches and roller grill items.

“Circle K Day is about thanking our loyal customers around the world by putting the spotlight on the reason we’re here—to make it easy,” said Alex Miller, chief operating officer for Circle K. “We’re proud to do that with some great deals ahead of the Labor Day holiday weekend that will help end the summer on a high note.”
