About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Circle K’s parking lot—a small wooden box, painted bright red and left unlocked. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but an old note that read: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking maybe someone was playing a prank. He took a bottle of water, signed the note with his nickname 'Max', and left it behind. Over the next few days, more people joined in—someone added snacks, another left extra batteries. Soon enough, the little box became a community treasure chest. A neighbor even joked, 'Now we know why Circle K never runs out of essentials!'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he heard an odd voice over the store’s intercom: ‘If you’re reading this, please return your flying saucer to the back.’ The delivery driver looked around, puzzled. Then he saw an old man waving from behind the counter. ‘Oh,’ said the man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘I must’ve been watching too many late-night sci-fi movies.’ The driver laughed and shook his head, grabbing his bag of chips. ‘Thanks for the snack!’ He waved goodbye as he left, wondering if maybe he’d seen things that night.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K late one night, only to notice an unusual sight—an old man was diligently watering the flowers outside the store. The delivery driver chuckled and got out of his truck. ‘Need some help there, old timer?’ The man looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, ‘Just making sure these babies get enough water.’ As they chatted, it turned out he lived next door and had been doing this every evening for years. The delivery guy shook his head, smiling, and drove off, thinking, ‘Another Circle K legend, I guess.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he overheard an unusual conversation between two regulars. One of them was complaining about his wife’s cooking, while the other shared a recipe for ‘world-famous’ chicken wings that tasted like cardboard. The first guy tried it and almost choked on his bite, prompting him to exclaim, ‘These are terrible!’ To which the second replied, laughing, ‘That’s why I only eat them when she’s not home.’
