CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Circle K is giving comic book and superhero fans another reason to stop at its convenience stores with the launch of an exclusive collection of DC Comics HeroStix.

Featuring a lineup of 24 DC heroes—including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash—as well as villains and symbols, the HeroStix collectibles are only available at participating Circle K stores in 20 states.

“At Circle K, we love surprising and delighting our customers with fun exclusive offers that feed their passions and provide new reasons to make Circle K part of their daily routines,” said Melissa Lessard, the Charlotte, N.C.-based head of North American marketing at Circle K. “With last week’s premiere of The Batman, what better way to celebrate the iconic heroes of DC Comics than with HeroStix from Circle K?”

HeroStix have a suction-cup base that allow them to stick to multiple flat surfaces, like dashboards, windowsills or display shelves. Each HeroStix collectible comes individually packaged, with the character remaining a mystery until unwrapped.

Circle K is giving away one free HeroStix collectible with every purchase of eight gallons of fuel or $10 of merchandise, while supplies last, starting March 9. HeroStix can also be purchased for cents individually. To encourage fans to collect all 24, Circle K is also selling a collectible album to display the HeroStix for $4.99.

HeroStix collectibles and the collectible display album are exclusively available at Circle K stores in the following 20 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, northern Florida and the panhandle, southern Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont and West Virginia.
