Minor League Baseball announced a new national partnership with Circle K, which will see the convenience store giant become the ¡°Official Convenience Store of Minor League Baseball.¡±
During the 2025 season, the Circle K brand will be integrated into the MiLB in-stadium experience through in-game video board assets at most MiLB ballparks and signage behind home plate in 37 MiLB ballparks. Circle K will also serve as the presenting partner of ¡°The Baseball Traveler,¡± an ongoing content series that highlights the best of the Minor League Baseball experience and will include newsletters and road trip storytelling from MiLB.com reporter Ben Hill as he makes his way around the country visiting ballparks throughout the 2025 season.
