TotalEnergies Belval: Opening of the first Circle K shop
The first Circle K store in Luxembourg opens its doors in Belval, in the municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette, only 3 months after the announcement in early January 2024, representing the completion of the acquisition of TotalEnergies' Network & Cards activities by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc/Circle K, in the Benelux and Germany.
Luxembourg and cross-border customers can now discover the new shop, food, drinks, and coffee concepts of the world-renowned Circle K brand.
In the new Circle K shop, which was transformed in a week, customers will be able to find:
- the food corner, with freshly made sandwiches as well as the brand's specialty: hotdogs
- the coffee corner offering a wide choice of coffees of the Circle K brand
In the future, when transforming car wash facilities, Circle K will offer a seasonal wash that is specifically designed to respond in a simple and effective way to the seasonal debris suffered by cars throughout the year.
The entry into the Luxembourg market is an important step in Circle K's strategy to expand in Europe. Other Circle K shops, which will also serve as pilot stations, are expected to open soon in Luxembourg. In a few weeks' time, the shop at the TotalEnergies petrol station "Wasserbillig Nord" will also be transformed to the Circle K concept. In the coming months, Circle K will test new product offerings in these shops and adapt them to the needs of local and cross-border consumers. For the first five years, the price totems, canopies and fuel forecourts will carry the TotalEnergies brand, but the shops and carwashes will be rebranded to circle K in the coming months.
"Congratulations to the teams and partners who have done a wonderful job for the quick and efficient implementation of our new Circle K shop on the site in Belval. We look forward to the opening of more Circle K shops in Luxembourg in the near future," says Frank Reuter, Vice President of Circle K Luxembourg.
