Talk:Circle K

NPOV?

Was this article written by the Circle K PR team? This sounds like a glossy from Circle K's website's about page. 216.59.208.82 (talk) 06:20, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Comment

I remember Circle K briefly running the convenience stores in the new-style service areas along the Massachusetts Turnpike, before they were rebranded as Exxon Tigermarts... 71.123.121.94 04:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Mantis Asmantas?

Just want to be 100% sure. Who is Mantis Asmantas? I can't find anything about him online. I also noticed in this article's history that Fred Harvey was the founder until an IP user added this new name. Was this simply vandalism that wasn't corrected for over a year? --NuclearVacuum (talk) 04:12, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Plastics?

From the article:

Fountain drinks at Circle K are sold in Polar Pop cups, previously called Thirst Busters, are available in expanded polystyrene cups. In areas where polystyrene containers are illegal, plastic cups are offered. The 52-ounce cups are plastic.

Polystyrene is a plastic. So I don't understand the distinction being made here. --Tkynerd (talk) 11:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

The key is "expanded" polystyrene, i.e. Styrofoam (though that's actually a genericized trademark). The second sentence drops the key adjective, changing the meaning. I added that second use of "expanded", and fixed the link to be more specific. oknazevad (talk) 08:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Wage violations

If anyone familiar with the topic can flesh this out I think it would be quite helpful. As is it offers very little-none really-as to the practices that were used which resulted in the suit and settlements. It comes off slanted due to the lack of details.

Not headquartered in Tempe. False info.

Correction to Overview section

This line in the overview, "Within the United States, Circle K owns and operates stores in 48 states (the two states without being Nebraska and Utah)" is incorrect. Circle K currently has no stores in Oklahoma. These stores were purchased by and rebranded as Casey's. This can be verified by the store locator tool on the Circle K website. The sale of the stores is documented in this news article: https://ktul.com/news/local/circle-k-selling-all-oklahoma-locations-to-caseys-general-stores. Additional source is ACT press release here: https://corporate.couche-tard.com/2021-03-22-Alimentation-Couche-Tard-Announces-Intention-to-Sell-355-Sites-Following-Strategic-Review-of-Network. 98.162.202.122 (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
