Looked online and learned that Circle K started out in El Paso TX circa 1951; its current headquarters are in Tempe AZ.

Of possible interest to those who travel to Florida and other southeastern states for business or recreation purposes:

There are lots of Circle K convenience store/gas stations located in Nassau, Duval, and St. Johns counties (FL). Some of them sell Exxon/Mobil fuel brands, the others sell Circle K fuel brand. Presumably, there are more Circle K stations located in other Florida counties.

WaWa is a Pennsylvania-based company that has opened a bunch of convenience store/gas station locations in Florida, many of them along Interstate 95 from Nassau County FL to Miami-Dade County FL.

Gate is a Jacksonville FL-based company with convenience store/gas station locations in Duval County FL and a few other locations in St. Johns county FL.

RaceTrac is an Atlanta GA-based company that operates many convenience store/gas stations mostly in the southeastern states, but also has locations in the Dallas/Ft. Worth TX area. Company owned stores are branded RaceTrac and franchise stores are branded RaceWay.
