Circle K stores switch to Kangaroo Express

The change of 13 stores to the Kangaroo Express name will happen over the next several months.

Thirteen Circle K convenience stores across Louisiana will soon become Kangaroo Express stores.

Both brands are part of a large grouping of stores operated by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., which has more than 14,000 stores in several countries.

The change to the Kangaroo Express name will happen over the next several months.

The move is part of its network optimization strategy.

Under the franchising program, along with Louisiana, Couche-Tard has Kangaroo Express stores in Florida (16), Tennessee (7), Alabama (5), North Caolina (4), California (2), Georgia (2), Massachusetts (1), South Carolina (1) and Virginia (1), according to the Kangaroo Express website.
