Circle K Makes a Splash With Car Wash Subscription Program in Europe

Circle K has extended its highly successful car wash subscription program to Norway after successful implementations in the United States, Canada, Denmark, Sweden and Estonia.

Circle K’s vast global network of car washes has digitally transformed operations with its revolutionary car wash subscription program. First launched in Denmark and the U.S. in 2020, the program soon expanded into Canadian stores and is now rolling out across their European markets.

How Circle K Norway’s Car Wash Subscription Program Works

Customers can subscribe in the app to a monthly subscription program and can choose between the available car wash programs. For new subscribers, the first month is half price as an incentive to get started.

Redemption is simple. To get started, customers open the app at the store, the exact location is shown based on GPS position, select the desired subscription program tier, enter payment method unless already registered for fuel earlier and the car’s license plate number, drive-in and wash. On the backend, there is an extremely short wait while the app verifies the user before the entry instructions allow the user to pull forward into the wash bay. When complete, the user receives a receipt for the wash in the app.

The monthly subscription allows users 30 car washes in 30 days with a maximum of 2 washes per day. The subscription is tied to the loyalty member`s Circle K ID and is specific to one car only based on license plate. Users must use the app in order to redeem subscriptions. Users can also see subscriptions of previous purchases in the app.

About Circle K’s Car Wash Subscription Program

Circle K is owned by Canadian company Alimentation Couche-Tard, Inc. and operates more than 15,000 stores in twenty countries. Circle K entered Norway in 2016 and proudly boasts of offering the leading EV charging station network in Norway. Specific to Circle K’s car wash program, there are approximately 2,700 car washes globally, thereby making it one of the largest car wash networks in the world.

Car washing can be quite profitable. In Europe, car wash revenues exceed €5 billion and in North America topping $15 billion annually, according to the International Car Wash Association.

A clear leader in the Norwegian convenience channel, Circle K realized the value of the subscription program to generate recurring revenue for car wash operations. Following the launch in North America, Circle K followed suit in Norway to roll out the app-based subscription program.

Car Wash Subscription Programs are Guaranteed Revenue

A paid subscription is guaranteed income for that month and likely many more months to follow. Knowing that a certain number of customers will redeem their car washes at regular intervals will help in planning for staff and inventory. Automatic monthly subscription renewal is a likely event, guaranteeing revenue for months – and years – to come.

Forward-looking convenience retailers have realized the subscription economy is here to stay, offering monthly subscriptions for fountain drinks, coffee, and snacks in addition to car washes. Having the ability to service all the customer’s needs in one visit from snacks and drinks to bathrooms, fuel and car washing, convenience stores have that competitive advantage over standard car wash companies. Offering subscriptions for most of those items ensures that customers continue to visit as often as they’re able, translating to secure, recurring revenue both in and outside of the store.
