Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every night, for no apparent reason, the cash register would ring once by itself. The delivery driver mentioned it to a nearby convenience store owner, who shrugged and said, ‘That’s just old Circle K being… well, Circle K.’ The next morning, everyone found out why—the register had simply been set to chime every hour on the hour. No mystery, just an overlooked setting.

2. At dawn, when Circle K’s staff were preparing for another day, an early bird customer found something odd in the parking lot. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a tiny little alien spaceship with blinking lights and a note that read: ‘Out of gas again.’ The manager laughed it off as a prank from a regular, but every morning after that, a fresh tank of gas appeared mysteriously behind the counter. Nobody ever solved the mystery—except maybe the delivery driver who always arrived just before dawn.

3. One morning, while a little girl waited impatiently for her dad to finish filling up gas, she giggled as the Circle K’s reflection danced in the windshield—until she pointed excitedly: ‘Daddy, look! The kangaroo is waving!’ Her father smiled and shook his head, but then chuckled himself. ‘Honey,’ he said gently, ‘that’s just the Circle K sign winking back at us.’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, she turned around one last time to wave goodbye to the friendly kangaroo—who waved right back with its neon green lights.

4. One night, as a young boy stood anxiously outside Circle K waiting for his mom, he noticed something odd: every time someone paid with exact change, the cash register sang a random song from Disney's Aladdin. Finally, after an hour of waiting, his mom arrived and asked what took so long. The boy sheepishly said, 'Mom, I was listening to "A Whole New World"!' She laughed and replied, ‘That’s okay, honey—now we both know how to sing along!’
