CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Circle K, the global convenience store chain, is throwing the party of the summer – and everyone's invited. As America celebrates its 250th birthday, Circle K is America's Party Stop, kicking things off with a Fuel Day at participating locations across the U.S. on May 7 and delivering savings, big rewards and community moments that make every stop worth celebrating all summer long.

The celebration kicks off with a signature Circle K Fuel Day event on Thursday, May 7. From 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, all customers at participating locations across the country can save up to 40 cents* per gallon of fuel at more than 5,000 stores across the United States. Inner Circle members get the party started even earlier, with exclusive access** to the discount from 12:01 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

For Inner Circle members***, the Fuel Day is also the start of something bigger. Beginning May 7, members can enter the Fuel Your Summer Sweepstakes for a chance to win one of 250 Circle K gift cards – providing fuel for the summer with winners selected weekly through July 4.****

Circle K is proud to open the summer celebration in support of the Children of the Fallen Patriots Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to providing college scholarships to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty. Ten percent of the Fuel Day profits from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on May 7 will be donated, up to a maximum of $250,000, and customers will be able to contribute through in-store donation opportunities from May 13 to June 30. Together, Circle K and PepsiCo will make an additional joint donation to the Children of the Fallen Patriots Foundation.
