Throughout the United States, Circle K locations will be lowering fuel prices by up to 40 cents per gallon between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, with the fees at the pump reflecting the discounted price and getting applied directly at that time.
As part of its Memorial Day observance, Circle K will also donate 10% of the profits from fuel sales during the Fuel Day event to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, which provides college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.
"As many consider this holiday weekend the unofficial start of summer, we are excited to bring all of our valued customers, new and old, some great savings at the pump," said Louise Warner, senior vice president of global fuels at Circle K. "We are also proud to recognize the true meaning of Memorial Day, through our support of our nonprofit partner, the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, during this event."
In addition to Fuel Day savings, Circle K customers can enjoy any-sized Polar Pop or Froster for just 79 cents all summer long.
More than 5,500 Circle K locations across the U.S. will be taking part in Fuel Day. A full list of participating stores is available here.
