LAVAL, Quebec — Circle K has launched its Make Your Mix campaign, a social-media program that highlights the chain’s Froster and Polar Pop beverages.
Consumers who share their mix of Circle K beverages on Facebook or Instagram will have the opportunity to win a variety of undisclosed prizes. Entrants must use the hashtag #MakeYourMix, as well as tag @CircleKStores in their posts. The contest applies only to U.S. consumers ages 13 and older and runs through Aug. 16.

Along with the contest, Circle K has partnered with travel and parenting Instagram influencers on ways for consumers to survive the summer heat. The influencers will share their stories to spark ideas for ways to mix up their fountain beverages.
