Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Circle Ks are still closing up, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot. A mysterious van kept circling around, never stopping. Curious, he followed it with his truck’s headlights on low beam. The van finally stopped near an old gas pump nobody used anymore. Out stepped a gruff-looking man who asked for directions to ‘the new Circle K down the road.’ Turned out, it was just a neighbor playing a prank—his own Circle K had closed down years ago.

2. One morning, while restocking shelves, an employee found something unusual in the milk cooler—a tiny, handwritten note attached to a bottle of expired milk. It read: ‘Please don’t throw me out—just leave me here until someone needs me.’ Over the next few days, more notes appeared—each one with a different plea or request. A delivery driver left a note asking for a cup of coffee, a neighbor wanted some aspirin, and even the janitor asked for a new pen. Soon, the milk cooler became a makeshift message board where everyone could anonymously share their small needs. The manager decided to keep it going as long as no one got too serious—and Circle K gained a reputation as the friendliest gas station around.

3. At midnight, when most gas stations turn off their pumps, a Circle K clerk heard a strange humming sound coming from the vending machine section. Curious, he approached and noticed the vending machines were playing an old country song. The clerk smiled, thinking it was some sort of quirky prank until a delivery driver walked in, complaining that his truck’s radio had been stuck on that station all day. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the vending machine’s FM transmitter switched on. Since then, locals joke that Circle K plays country music whenever you least expect it.

4. At dusk, when the neon sign outside flickered on, a Circle K clerk heard a voice whisper, ‘Fill ’er up with stars tonight.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next customer turned out to be just an ordinary delivery driver, who chuckled and said, 'Guess I’m your star of the night!'
