Inside the Irving oil terminal control room in Portsmouth they have a large photo of the company founder K. C. Irving, 1899-1992. Irving Co recently decided to drop their BlueCanoe self-managed gas stations and subcontract the store management to a New Brunswick company named Circle K. Isn't a Circle K the symbol for a strikeout? Anyway, Irving supplies the gasoline and owns the biz, and Circle K provides the employees or something?
For the history on Irving Oil, try googling" K C Irving, wikipedia."
