7-Eleven operates, franchises and licenses 84,500 stores in 19 countries and territories as of January 2024.[citation needed] While operating under its namesake brand globally, within the United States it operates as 7-Eleven nationally, as Speedway nationally but mostly in the Midwest and East Coast, and as Stripes Convenience Stores within the West South Central United States. Both Speedway and Stripes operate alongside 7-Eleven's namesake stores in several markets. 7-Eleven also operates A-Plus locations with the name licensed from owner and fellow Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex-based Energy Transfer Partners, though most of these stores have since been rebranded as standard 7-Eleven stores.
Strange things are afoot down at the CircleK

I was hoping......
Bold move (/s), considering the threatened government action RE ‘price gouging’ at markets...and such markets have the WORST prices, arguably for the ‘convenience’.
I still have an undated Circle K coupon for a free counter drink from the 1970s that I need to use.
My unscientific survey finds that Circle Ks look more modern, cleaner and are better stocked than 7/11s. Many 7/11s need to be refurbished. When given a choice, I go to a Parkers.
Circle K brought all the Holiday Station stores here in the midwest.
They bought out 7-11 in Florida back in the early 80’s................
OH no, please leave the Japanese 7-11 as is and update the US 7-11 to be like the ones in Japan and Taiwan.
You can actually get a good meal in those east asian 7-11s
Who knew 7-11s were Japanese owned?
The 7-11’s in Japan are incredible.
That’s the word for them - incredible. They are clean, spotless, well-lit and safe and open all hours of the day and night.
And they have fresh food - not just processed junk but fresh food. And tasty
Our Circle K has changed. All signs gone and it is still open.
Siete/once bump.
They just reached an agreement to buy the Pennsylvania/Ohio regional GetGo stores as well.
is Circle K trying to keep up with Casey’s recent expansion?
In 2005, Seven-Eleven Japan made a tender offer and 7-Eleven, Inc. became its wholly owned subsidiary
