                   CIRCLE K EXTENDS TENDER OFFER TO PURCHASE
                            NCS SHARES AND WARRANTS


     Phoenix, Arizona, October 31, 1995 - The Circle K Corporation (NYSE:CRK) 
announced today that it has extended to 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on November 30, 1995, 
its tender offer to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock of 
National Convenience Stores Incorporated (NYSE:NCS) at $20.00 per share in cash 
and all outstanding stock purchase warrants of NCS at $2.25 per warrant in cash.
Circle K's tender offer was to expire at 5:00 p.m. E.S.T. on November 1, 1995. 
To date, 130,466 shares and 80,013 warrants have been tendered to the depository
under the offer.

     John Antioco, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer 
of Circle K, said, "We extended our tender offer in order to give us maximum 
flexibility to pursue various options with respect the NCS. We are also 
considering whether to submit a proposal to NCS in response to its exploration 
of a sale of the company. Although no decision has yet been made to submit such 
a proposal, we would only do so on terms that would be accretive to Circle K's 
earnings within a reasonable time frame. Any further proposal to acquire NCS 
must be weighed against the other alternatives for profitable growth that are 
available to Circle K."

     The Circle K Corporation is the largest operator of company-owned 
convenience stores and the largest independent gasoline retailer in the United 
States. It operates or franchises over 2,500 stores in 28 states primarily in 
the Sunbelt. Additionally, there are over 2,600 stores operating under the
