Circle K – “Bistro to Go” Tour

Charlotte, Myrtle Beach & Tampa

The food truck, at first glance, branded with nothing more than “Bistro to Go”, was a collaboration stunt between Circle K, their PR firm and Sweeter…attracting the curious while revealing a surprise!  “The Stunt” which was deployed on a multi-city tour along the eastern seaboard & ending in Tampa, FL, was one where curious consumers were treated to an elevated fast food experience. Once guests indulged in the food offerings, the fun part began – capturing guests’ reactions on camera, we revealed that the upscale fast food experience was actually Circle K’s delicious new menu, available at all their convenience stores – and, WOW, were guests surprised.  Needing to replicate the food and coffee served at Circle K,  Sweeter custom installed a proprietary speed oven and coffee maker, as well as collaborated directly with the executive chef – Chef Gary – who also personally prepared the food for guests and talked with them about the attributes and why elevating Circle K’s food offerings was so important to the brand.  Sweeter identified relevant locations, handled permitting, devised a customized reveal truck wrap that could withstand the tour route, provided our own touring team of truck manager and BAs, as well as our on staff photographer/videographer (who also traveled with the tour) to film the entire activation, capturing the reactions of the guests as it was revealed that they were enjoying food from a convenience store gas station.
