Circle K is the largest company-owned convenience store chain in the U.S, and second in overall number of U.S. stores to 7-ElevenSome Circle K stores operate gasoline pumps selling Union 76-branded motor fuels; others sell Mobil, Marathon, ConocoPhillips, Irving, BP, Sunoco or Shell-branded fuel. Until mid-2006, nearly all Circle K stores in South Texas sold Citgo-branded fuel; however, those stores have dropped the Circle K name and now operate as Stripes Convenience Stores and are served by Valero-branded fuel. Circle K stores in northeast Ohio vary depending upon what stores they used to be: the majority are former Citgo/Holland Oil, whose gas is branded as Circle K; others are remnants of the Lawson's/Dairy Mart chain, which sell gas from other companies.The chain operates internationally, branching into Mexico and continents such as Asia. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the store is called OK in reference to the circle around the K.Circle K was previously in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as the food store portions of many Shell stations. The Circle K brand re-entered the Canadian market in 2008 in connection with Couche-Tard's acquisition of Irving Oil's convenience store network, as discussed below.The chain is primarily located in the Southern, Western and Southwestern U.S., and within the past couple of years expanded into the Midwest when the Circle K name replaced Couche-Tard brands Mac's, Bigfoot, Dairy Mart, and Handy Andy. Most recently, the company has acquired the 90-store Spectrum chain serving Georgia and Alabama, the CFM chain in Missouri, and 35 Sterling Dairy locations in Northwest Ohio.

香港及中國的OK便利店由利豐屬下之利亞零售有限公司及其附屬公司(統稱CRA集團)經營,於1985年在香港開設第一間OK便利店。CRA集團於香港共有303家Circle K連鎖便利店、廣州市則有57家便利店,珠海市亦有12家。OK便利店是香港第二大連鎖便利店,主要銷售食品、日用品及雜誌等貨品。有別於其主要競爭對手7-11,OK便利店香港所有分店均由利亞零售管理,而沒有任何特許經營,故分店數量也較7-11少得多,但普遍店舖面積比7-11大。
