Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy named Timmy would run home from school and peer through the glass door. Every time he did, the cashier’s shadow danced eerily in the reflection—until one day it seemed to follow him outside. Finally, one evening after dark, Timmy’s mom caught wind of his late-night visits. She followed him to Circle K, only to see an old delivery driver waving cheerfully at her son from behind the counter. ‘Oh,’ she laughed, realizing the shadow was just an aging employee with a big smile—and Timmy had been imagining things all along.’

2. At closing time, an old lady walked into the Circle K and asked the clerk for a box of matches. ‘Certainly,’ said the clerk, then added with a smile, ‘just don’t light up the whole store!’ The next morning, the same old lady returned, smiling broadly as she approached the counter. 'Good morning!' she chirped. The clerk raised an eyebrow but smiled back. 'Would you like another matchbox?' he asked. She nodded happily, and as she left, whispered under her breath, 'Just trying to keep my options lit.'

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell coffee that wakes you up or coffee that calms you down?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'We’ve got coffee for every mood—even one that makes you dance!' The delivery driver grinned, grabbed two cups, and said, 'Perfect, I need one for waking up and one for when I can’t wake up anymore.'

4. At dawn, when Circle K’s gas pumps were still cold, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every morning, right before opening, a mysterious cat would appear from nowhere and sit precisely in front of the cash register. Finally, one day the manager decided to follow the feline friend. The cat led him to an old shed behind the station where he found a small sign reading ‘Circle K’s Unofficial Cat Manager’. A note attached said, 'Thanks for understanding!'
