Circle K gas station 40 cents off ran Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., giving drivers a limited fuel discount tied to Circle K Fuel Day. Inner Circle members got early access until 3 p.m., while participating locations also carried a profit donation tied to the promotion.
Circle K Fuel Day runs 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
40 cents per gallon was the headline discount at Circle K during the three-hour window, a narrow timing band that made the deal available only to drivers who reached a participating station on Thursday afternoon. The chain celebrated Circle K Fuel Day at the same time, linking the price cut to a one-day promotion rather than a longer rolling sale.
3 p.m. was the cutoff for Inner Circle members to access the deal early. After that, the lower price opened to the broader customer base from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., which meant the most prepared buyers got first access before the public window began.
Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation
$250,000 was the maximum Circle K said it would donate in profits from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. The group provides college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, tying the fuel promotion to a specific charitable recipient rather than a general donation drive.
That structure gave the event two moving parts: a price break for drivers and a revenue stream for the charity. For customers, the practical step was simple — use a participating Circle K location and arrive within the posted window, or earlier if they were members with access before 3 p.m.
Participating Circle K locations
A participating Circle K location could be found through a link provided by the outlet. That left the useful question for customers in one place: whether their nearest station was included, and whether they could arrive during the three-hour window before the discount ended on Thursday.
