Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a Circle K attendant noticed something odd. A local delivery driver pulled up in his truck, but instead of heading straight inside, he circled around the gas pumps three times before stopping. Finally stopping, the driver asked for just one gallon of gas and paid with exact change. The attendant, curious now, asked why such a big fuss? With a sheepish smile, the man replied, ‘I always circle my truck thrice on Sundays—it brings good luck!’

2. It was just another humdrum day at the Circle K when a delivery driver asked the clerk with genuine curiosity: ‘Hey, do you ever notice how our gas pump always seems to run out of gas right before my shift ends?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, 'Nah, never noticed.' Then they both laughed, realizing it was just one of those coincidental quirks that make life interesting. From then on, whenever the delivery driver came in for his break, he’d ask jokingly if there was any chance of an emergency gas shortage—just to see the look on the clerk’s face.

3. It was late afternoon when a little girl walked into the Circle K, holding her pet hamster in its cage. As she approached the counter, the hamster started behaving strangely—its tiny eyes fixed on something behind the attendant’s back. The clerk turned around just as the hamster ran off the counter and leaped onto his shoulder. 'What the—?' he exclaimed, trying not to laugh. The little girl giggled, pointing at the hamster now happily perched on his head. ‘He always does that,’ she said matter-of-factly. 'Welcome to Circle K,' smiled the clerk, scratching the hamster's belly.

4. It was early dawn, not even the first customer of the day, when a Circle K attendant heard a strange noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around and saw only an old alarm clock, its battery long dead. With a laugh, he picked it up and placed it on the counter. ‘Guess someone forgot to wind you,’ said a regular, smiling as he paid for his coffee.
