Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every full moon, an old man in a trench coat would quietly enter the store and ask for a specific brand of coffee. The cashier always smiled and whispered back: ‘Same as last month, sir?’ Finally, one curious delivery driver asked the old man what kind of coffee he preferred. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'Just the usual, son—extra strong and three sugars!' And ever since then, every full moon, everyone at Circle K knew exactly what time it was: ‘Coffee-o’clock!’

2. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at that squirrel!’ His mother looked and saw nothing but stared longer as she realized it wasn’t just any squirrel—it seemed to be dancing. Finally, another customer asked, ‘Isn’t that just a squirrel on speed?’ Mom smiled and replied, ‘No, I think it’s just our local dance instructor.’ They both laughed, and the little boy waved goodbye to his furry friend as they drove off, leaving behind yet another Circle K legend.

3. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a little dog kept staring intently at the cash register. No matter how many times the clerk rearranged items, the curious pooch always found its way back to the same spot. Finally, the clerk decided to leave the cash register open and stepped outside for a smoke. When she came back, there was a note on the counter: 'Thank you for your patience! Your change is inside.' The little dog had disappeared, leaving behind only a warm feeling in everyone's heart.

4. While pumping gas one evening, a neighbor swore he heard someone whispering from inside the Circle K. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty shelves and dimly lit aisles. Yet, the voice persisted—soft and mysterious, as if coming from every direction at once. Finally, the neighbor decided to enter, calling out, ‘Who’s there?’ A sleepy voice answered back, ‘Just checking if you’re awake!’ Turned out it was just a delivery driver napping in the staff room.
