CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Circle K is bringing the whole celebration together this July – more refreshing deals, new merch, big prizes and a continued commitment to the communities that make summer worth celebrating. Here’s how the party comes to life.
Raise a Polar Pop to 250 Years
America’s birthday deserves an iconic drink. On Wednesday, July 1, Circle K’s Inner Circle members* can grab a Polar Pop in any size, for just 25 cents at participating Circle K locations nationwide** – in partnership with PepsiCo.
To give the most dedicated Polar Pop lovers a way to show their pride, customers can also grab Circle K’s latest limited-edition Polar Pop hats and shirts at participating locations now – on sale for $11 each or two for $20 for a limited time only.
“The Polar Pop is a Circle K staple that has been our customers’ favorite way to cool off summer after summer — and now we want to give them a wearable way to show their love,” said Trey Powell, Senior Vice President, U.S. Food & Retail. “And this year, with America turning 250, there's never been more to celebrate. Circle K is showing up the way we always do, with great value, big prizes and a little extra confetti."
Scratch & Win to Keep the Summer Going
The fun doesn’t stop there. Starting July 1 and running through September 1, Circle K is launching Scratch & Win – a new daily instant win game available in the Circle K app. Simply open the app, navigate to Scratch & Win, and “scratch” to reveal whether you've won. Anyone can play once per day all summer long for a chance to win prizes, including free Polar Pops and a variety of popular beverages and merchandise items. Inner Circle members unlock even more with eligibility for prizes including 25 weekly chances to win a $250 Circle K gift card, $10,000 weekly cash prizes and four grand prizes of $25,000 in cash*** – because the best summers are the ones where anything can happen.
Celebrating the Communities That Make Summer Special
The celebrations extend beyond the store. At Circle K, America’s Party Stop is more than great deals – it’s about showing up for the communities we serve. Throughout July, Circle K is teaming up with the American Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts and first responders across the U.S. Customers can round up their purchases at self-checkout, with the proceeds going directly to the American Red Cross.
That giving extends to July 24, when Circle K joins the NACS Foundation in celebrating 24/7 Day, an annual nationwide initiative honoring the everyday heroes who serve their communities around the clock. First responders can stop in to receive a free hot dog, cookie and Polar Pop as a thank you for their service.**
