Circle K, the well-known convenience store chain, is making strategic moves by teaming up with East Valley's Burrito Express to offer a selection of their popular burritos to the convenience-seeking crowd. This collaboration is bringing the flavors of the local Mexican restaurant chain directly into the aisles of Circle K stores, according to an announcement featured on ABC15.com .

The venture began earlier this year, when the first "Fast & Fresh" hub opened its doors within a Circle K in Gilbert. With the brand now directly plastered within the convenience store's space, offering eight variations of Burrito Express burritos, customers can conveniently pick up a taste of the local cuisine in a grab-and-go format. Upon the success of this initial launch, plans are now in motion to expand this concept to an additional five stores across the metro Phoenix area, "Mouth by Southwest" reports.

As per the "hub-and-spokes" model outlined by Mouth by Southwest , the central kitchen concept is designed not only to serve customers within Circle K but also to support smaller delivery sites for Burrito Express around the Valley. This strategic approach underpins the ongoing collaboration and expansion, which includes plans for another four locations in East Valley and one additional site in Scottsdale.

Among the offerings, customers can indulge in four different breakfast burritos and four lunch options, with prices ranging from $4.49 to $7.39. The current menu, built around can't-go-wrong classics like steak, egg, potato, tomatoes, and onion for breakfast, or chicken, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and cheese for lunch, is available to patrons during generous morning and afternoon hours throughout the week and weekend.
