In August 2016, Alimentation Couche-Tard, parent company of Circle K, completed the acquisition of CST Brands which includes Corner Store, Nice ‘N Easy and Cross America convenience stores. The merger officially closed on, June 28, 2017.

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been in close contact with senior leadership of both CST Brands and Circle K to begin conversations about the strategic direction of our partnership with Circle K.

Due to Circle K’s current business model, our partnership is currently limited to three divisions (Midwest, Heartland and Great Lakes) encompassing 27 hospital markets*.

We are actively working to leverage this acquisition as an opportunity to position the organization as a national charitable partner prospect. By doing so, we aim to expand our engagement with Circle K to include the former CST Brands participating locations. These locations now align with two additional Circle K divisions: Southwest (CO, KS, MO, NM, OK, TX) and Arizona (AZ and NV).

As more information becomes available we will share it with you. Should you have questions about the Circle K partnership please contact Emily Cawley at ecawley@cmnhospitals.org or Shirley Rogers at srogers@cmnhospitals.org.
