'gas on'

Before summer, 45 more petrol stations in the Netherlands get luxury Circle K tankshop

De komende maanden wil Circle K tientallen tankshops in Nederland ombouwen waarbij ons land meer dan 50 locaties volgens de formule moet gaan tellen.

At TotalEnergies gas station ‘Kolthoorn’ on the A50 motorway near Heerde in the province of Gelderland, a brand-new Circle K tankshop was opened last weekend. This brings the number of shops of this formula in the Netherlands to eight in total. The conversion of Kolthoorn is the start of an extensive renovation operation, which should see another 45 Circle K tank shops open in the Netherlands before the summer.

This was announced by Circle K Netherlands ‘ director of market development Frits Morrema. TotalEnergies ‘Kolthoorn’ is one of the busiest filling stations on the A50 motorway between Apeldoorn and Zwolle. Equipped with a Bonjour shop for years, motorists will now find a brand-new shop according to the Circle K formula. This brings the number of Circle K petrol shops in our country to eight. Canadian retail giant Alimentation Couche-tard Inc. is rushing to launch shops at TotalEnergies petrol stations in Western Europe. Besides the Netherlands, Circle K branches have also opened at petrol stations in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg since its launch in March 2024.

Scoop

The TotalEnergies at stopover ‘Bijleveld’ on the A12 motorway between Gouda and Utrecht had the premiere of the very first Dutch Circle K in March 2024, which was followed two weeks later by a Circle K at the petrol station at Schiphol airport. At TotalEnergies ‘Reeuwijk’, just past the ‘Bodegraven’ exit on the A12 motorway, the third in the Netherlands opened in the last week of April 2024. The premiere of Belgium’s first Circle K was for the futuristic TotalEnergies petrol station on the E19 motorway near Nivelles.

New round

‘We have energetically started a new round in the renewal operation in the Netherlands,’ says Morrema. ‘Now Kolthoorn is also the location with the tastiest one and only Circle K coffee, hot dogs and many more of those goodies.’ According to Morrema, this is the start for the conversion of even more tank shops. ‘The gas is on. Around 45 more will be added before the summer.’ The renewal operation to Circle K involves both motorway locations and local filling stations.

In the Netherlands, a total of 128 ‘coco’ filling stations are to receive the shop formula. This number can become much larger, as the modular shop formula is also available for dealer locations, so-called ‘dodos’.

Service

The formula from Canadian retail giant Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. offers motorists service, speed, convenience and a wide range of on-site freshly prepared products. The formula focuses on coffee, sandwiches, hot and cold snacks, on-the-go products and soft drinks. The big customer attractions are coffee and hot dogs. Visitors will also find luxury toilet facilities from One Hundred Restrooms.
