IROQUOIS – Shoppers in South Dundas are seeing a new sign in the neighbourhood.

Workers were at the Iroquois Plaza Monday afternoon, changing out the signs on the Mac’s location there.

All stores across SD&G are expected to be changed out to Circle K by the end of the year.

The parent company, Alimentation Couche-Tard, announced in September 2015 it would be transforming its Canadian Mac’s locations to its American name – Circle K – to improve its brand sell.

The Mac’s signature owl logo will still be used for its Quebec stores.
