Löfbergs wins sole coffee contract for 4,000 Circle K stations in Europe

Löfbergs has turned a convenience-store coffee run into a much bigger contract, becoming the sole coffee supplier for more than 4,000 Circle K stations across 12 European countries. The three-year deal reaches from Germany and Belgium to Poland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and the Baltic states, while also building on an existing footprint in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Ireland.

For drivers, commuters and anyone who grabs coffee off a forecourt counter, the real story is consistency. Circle K operates about 5,200 stations in Europe, and more than 4,000 of them already serve coffee, so this is not a niche add-on. It is the core of the retail proposition, and Circle K is leaning harder into that lane by keeping Löfbergs as the only coffee brand across the network.

The timing matters because Circle K has already been upgrading the equipment behind the cup. In April 2026, the company said it would invest about €10 million in new premium coffee machines across 260 stores in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. That follows a clear playbook: refresh the hardware, standardize the supply, and make the coffee counter feel less like a gas-station afterthought and more like a reason to stop.

Löfbergs brings a sourcing story that fits that pitch. The Swedish roaster says it produces more than 10 million cups of coffee a day, has supported more than 195,000 farmers through International Coffee Partners and coffee&climate, and sells coffee that is 100% certified sustainably sourced. For Circle K, that gives the chain a supplier with scale and a sustainability message it can carry across self-serve, served, retail and cold coffee over the next three years.

The broader prize is bigger than one contract. Circle K says its Europe business sits inside Couche-Tard’s network, and the company says it has about 14,200 sites across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In a channel where coffee is one of the sharpest tools for traffic and loyalty, handing Löfbergs the keys to more than 4,000 stations signals that convenience-store coffee is still being upgraded, standardized and pushed closer to the café benchmark, one cup at a time.
