About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot was filled with old photos, each one perfectly placed under streetlights. Curious, he picked up an old photo of a smiling couple from the ’80s. Suddenly, an elderly voice said, ‘Hey, that’s my wife!’ A neighbor appeared out of nowhere and exclaimed, ‘And I recognize that car—it belongs to our friend Bob who moved away years ago.’ They spent the morning sorting through pictures, laughing and reminiscing until Circle K became crowded again with early-morning customers. Everyone left with a smile—and a free coffee as thanks for the fun story.

2. At dawn, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot seemed unusually quiet—too quiet for such an early hour. Then he heard it: soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door slowly—and found an old man humming softly to himself while polishing coffee mugs behind the counter. ‘Morning,’ said the driver, startled. The man looked up with a smile and replied, “Good morning! Just getting everything ready for our first customers.” Turns out, it was simply an early bird regular who’d been helping out since before anyone else arrived.’

3. At dawn, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver found an old, dusty kite tangled in the parking lot fence. Curious, he untangled it and brought the kite inside. Later that day, while restocking shelves, he noticed a small note attached: ‘To the kind soul who freed my kite—thank you! Signed, your new best customer.’ Since then, every morning at sunrise, a mysterious neighbor would come in for their usual coffee and chat about flying kites.

4. At dawn, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver heard a strange howl coming from behind the gas pumps. Curious, he looked around and saw a small dog, its eyes fixed on the glowing letters spelling out ‘OPEN NOW’. The pup seemed mesmerized, as if trying to decipher some ancient message. The driver smiled, thinking maybe the little guy was just excited for an early-morning treat. He reached down, and much to his surprise, the dog pounced onto his shoulder, yapping happily. From that day on, every morning, the same tiny bundle of energy would greet the Circle K staff—clearly believing it was the first to open.
