Nationwide Gas Station Chain Slashing Prices Ahead Of Labor Day Weekend

A popular nationwide gas station chain is slashing its prices for a limited time ahead of the Labor Day weekend.

The Circle K chain of gas stations and convenience stores announced Wednesday that it is slashing prices by 40 cents on September 1 in an effort to give back to customers who struggled during the summer travel season. The deal is part of a series of offers taking place throughout the month. The offer also follows a difficult time for consumers, who have altered their driving habits to cope with gas prices that are still incredibly high.

“On Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022, Circle K, the global convenience store chain, is offering 40 cents off per gallon of fuel between 4 and 7 p.m. local time during Circle K Fuel Day,” Circle K said in a statement, via Business Wire. “At over 3,600 Circle K branded fuel locations across the U.S. in advance of the Labor Day holiday weekend, customers can fuel up for the unofficial last weekend of summer and receive the deal directly at the pump.” The deal applies to participating Circle K stations that sell Circle K-branded fuel.

“It’s been a challenging summer for travel, so we want to thank our customers for their loyalty by offering them additional savings ahead of the busy holiday weekend, ending the summer on a high note,” Nathan Woodland, Circle K’s Head of North America Category Fuels, added in the company’s statement. “Our Circle K Fuel Day will also kick off an entire month of deals inside our stores.”

Gas prices have dropped steadily in recent weeks after soaring to record highs earlier this year, but prices are still significantly higher than they were when President Joe Biden took office. The Biden administration has attempted to claim credit for the falling gas prices, but the current national average of $3.84 is still nearly $1.50 more than it was when Biden took office.
