Kevin O’Learys Service Station, New Road, Bandon, Cork to host a grand opening on 8th December with fun filled day, great special offers and entertainment throughout the day
Circle K (formerly Topaz Energy) has announced that Kevin O’Learys Service Station, New Road, Bandon, Cork has rebranded to Circle K Express, as the rollout of the new brand in Ireland continues. The newly rebranded service station will host a ‘grand opening’ to take place from 12-2pm on Saturday, 08 December.
Circle K officially launched in Ireland earlier this year, announcing significant investment and job creation in the Irish market as over 420 service stations will be rebranded with all Topaz canopies and Re.Store convenience stores changing to Circle K – including 34 sites in Co. Cork.
To celebrate rebranding to Circle K, sites are hosting official ‘grand openings’, with special offers both instore and on the forecourt for a limited time at selected Circle K sites nationwide. Dates and times of grand openings may be subject to change. Customers are encouraged to keep an eye on the Circle K Ireland Facebook page for further details.
Jonathan Diver, Senior Director Retail Sales & Operations Dealers, Circle K Ireland commented “We are delighted to be launching our newest Circle K location in Ireland. As we continue the rollout of brand across the country, we want to emphasise that, while we have a new name, it is the same great people working under the Circle K brand. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hardworking staff and management at our newest Cork Circle K Express service station, and indeed all our Circle K staff for making our rebrand come to life in local communities.”
In 2016, Topaz was purchased by Canadian convenience store group Alimentation Couche-Tard (ACT), one of the world’s leading convenience retailers. Circle K is the global fuel and convenience brand of ACT and it is the largest and strongest brand owned by Couche-Tard. Topaz now Circle K Ireland is joining an international network of fuel and convenience retailers where its customers can continue to enjoy the best quality products and services.
