CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Circle K, the global convenience store chain, is offering 40 cents off per gallon of fuel between 4 and 7 p.m. local time during Circle K Fuel Day on Sept. 1.
This year’s Fuel Day sale will be “one of the largest fuel sales in the United States, maybe ever,” Circle K CEO Brian Hannasch said on the Laval, Quebec-based company's first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings call on Aug. 31.

At more than 3,600 Circle K branded fuel locations across the United States in advance of the Labor Day holiday weekend, customers can fuel up for the unofficial last weekend of summer and receive the deal directly at the pump.
“It’s been a challenging summer for travel, so we want to thank our customers for their loyalty by offering them additional savings ahead of the busy holiday weekend, ending the summer on a high note,” said Nathan Woodland, head of North America category fuels at Circle K, with U.S. offices in Charlotte, N.C. “Our Circle K Fuel Day will also kick off an entire month of deals inside our stores.”
As summer winds down and customers head back to school and work, they can expect more deals inside the convenience stores throughout September on fresh food, coffee, snacks and more, the company said. The fuel sale will only be available at participating Circle K locations that sell Circle K-branded fuel. Circle K fuel is now available in more than half of Circle K’s fueling locations across America.
