Alimentation Couche-Tard announced plans last week to open 60 new Circle K convenience stores in Wisconsin.
According to a press release, the company intends to build 500 stores within five years, most in North America.
The latest store in Green Bay is 5,200 square feet and has 16 dispensers offering Circle K Fuel and a car wash offering Circle K’s Unlimited Car Wash Club. The store also offers Circle K’s proprietary food service program, Fresh Food Fast.
“We’ve been very pleased by the community response to our first two stores in Ledgeview and Ashwaubenon since they opened last year,” said Gary Brant, vice president of operations, Circle K Northern Tier Business Unit, in the announcement.
Couche-Tard operates stores in Wisconsin as both Holiday and Circle K.
The news release said Couche-Tard has “identified numerous sites for development” and “continues to actively scout locations throughout the state.”
In last year’s investor presentation, Couche-Tard said it planned to build 500 stores in five years and identified 1,000 sites for future growth, most of them new construction. The company said it completed 40 new stores in the first half of the fiscal year ending Oct. 15 and had more than 100 sites in the construction pipeline. Couche-Tard also said it is targeting 75% of its spending on new-builds and 25% on raze-and-rebuilds or relocations.
