The company had 2,300 fuel retail stations in Scandinavia, Poland, the Baltic countries and Russia as well as significant lubricants and aviation fuel operations.[3] It was listed as a separate company on the Oslo Stock Exchange on October 22, 2010.[4]

On 18 April 2012 it was announced that Alimentation Couche-Tard would buy Statoil Fuel & Retail for US$2.8 billion and it would become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Couche-Tard.[5] The deal included the right to use the "Statoil" brand for the stations until 30 September 2019.[6]

In September 2014, the jet fuel business of Statoil Fuel & Retail was sold to BP for an undisclosed amount.[7]

On 22 September 2015 it was announced that the "Statoil" branding would be phased out, and replaced by Circle K as part of a global rebranding scheme involving all Couche Tard-owned retailers.[8]

In 2016, Couche-Tard decided to merge Circle K and Statoil Fuel & Retail into the Circle K brand.[9][10]
