About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does the cashier always say “Welcome home” when I buy gas?’ The cashier, without missing a beat, replied with a twinkle in her eye: ‘Because you’re never just filling up your tank—you’re refueling your whole day.’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing he’d been saying goodbye to ‘home’ for years now.

2. At Circle K, in the early morning hours, a cashier heard an eerie humming coming from behind the counter. Curious, she peeked around and saw nothing but a reflection of her own smile in the old-fashioned cash register's mirror. Suddenly, she noticed that the hum was actually the sound of a regular customer snoring softly while dozing off on one of the stools. The next day, everyone joked that Circle K had become the neighborhood sleepover spot.

3. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look—gas pumps talking!’ His mom laughed gently but glanced nervously around, noticing for the first time that the pumps seemed to be glowing softly. Suddenly, one pump said, ‘Fill me up, or I won’t stop chattering!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old radio left on inside the pump. A delivery driver quipped, ‘Guess they finally found a way to talk back to customers.’ The little boy shrugged, satisfied, as his mom shook her head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day in paradise, Circle K-style.’

4. At Circle K, on a stormy midnight, a lone gas station attendant noticed something odd. The neon sign above flickered ominously, spelling out not just ‘Open,’ but also cryptic messages like ‘Don’t leave yet’ and ‘Stay safe.’ Suddenly, an old man in a plaid shirt walked in, rubbing his hands together. 'You guys got any hot coffee?' he asked. The attendant nodded nervously, pressing a button that made the sign read 'Hot Coffee Available.' As soon as he did, the lights brightened, and everyone relaxed. Turned out the old guy was just cold and wanted some warmth.
