The market-share leaders among the top 50 fuel brands include those most people expect. Still, two notable c-store brand names, Circle K and QuikTrip, make the Top 10, which is a testament to their throughput and in-store prowess. QuikTrip stands out for another reason: It has a mere fraction of the fuel sites of one of the industry’s largest chains, Alimentation Couche-Tard’s Circle K, and major oil’s branded network, and still makes the top 10.
