JLL assists convenience store chain find new space at Coliseum Centre

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 20, 2016 – (RealEstateRama) — Circle K, Couche-Tard’s largest and most international convenience store brand, will double the size of its Charlotte office at Coliseum Centre. JLL Executive Vice President Bryan White and Managing Director Jim Thorp led the site selection process on behalf of Circle K.

Circle K will take occupancy of its new space at Three Coliseum Centre in early 2017.
The convenience store chain chose Coliseum Centre because of its proximity to Charlotte Douglas International Airport and overall central location in the Charlotte region. Relocating to a Class A office park meshes with Circle K’s current rebranding process.

“The new location will better reflect Circle K’s stature as a leading convenience store operator in the United States,” White said. “The larger space also will accommodate the company’s fast growing work force.”

Circle K is growing rapidly via acquisitions across the country.

Circle K leased approximately 20,000 square feet at Coliseum Centre, more than twice the amount of space they currently occupy. Last month, Couche-Tard acquired CST Brands Inc. and rebranded its Corner Store locations under its Circle K name as part of its aggressive growth strategy in the U.S. Currently, Couche-Tard ranks just behind 7-Eleven as the largest convenience store operator in the country.
