History

Statoil roots: The Lithuanian operations originated in the 1990s as Statoil’s retail fuel and convenience business. The first stations were opened as part of Statoil’s Baltic expansion, bringing modern service station formats to the market.
Ownership change: In 2012, Alimentation Couche‑Tard Inc. acquired Statoil Fuel & Retail. This began a multi‑year integration of European operations under the Circle K global brand.
Rebranding: Between 2016 and 2017, the Lithuanian Statoil stations were rebranded to Circle K, including signage, store formats, product lines (e.g., “miles” fuels), and loyalty programs.
Network development: Post‑rebranding, Circle K Lietuva continued expanding service offerings, modernizing sites, enhancing food and beverage programs, and rolling out technology upgrades and B2B solutions.
