Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Circle K clerk locked up and left for home, customers noticed something odd. A small dog would appear from behind the gas pumps every few nights, always at exactly 9 p.m., sniffing around the cash register area before disappearing again. One evening, a delivery driver arrived late and found the door ajar. He called out, but only heard a tiny voice whispering, ‘Please don’t tell anyone… I’m just practicing my cashier skills.’ The next morning, the manager discovered that all the receipts were neatly organized in alphabetical order.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled into the Circle K. The store was already closed, but something caught his eye through the window. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man dozing behind the counter. Clearing his throat gently, the driver asked if everything was okay. With a sleepy smile, the owner replied, 'Just waiting for the coffee machine to wake up.'

3. At midnight, when the Circle K clerk had already gone home, a neighborhood cat began appearing every few nights. It would sit on the counter, staring intently at the cash register until someone arrived in the morning. One night, an elderly neighbor walked in and saw the cat. Thinking it was lost, she took it home but couldn’t resist stopping by for gas later that week. The cat returned promptly each time, sitting patiently as if waiting for her. Finally, the clerk’s friend joked, ‘Maybe we should just hire the cat!’ Ever since then, the local legend has it that the cat works part-time, keeping watch over the till while everyone sleeps.

4. At sunrise, when most people were still dreaming, an early bird stumbled upon the Circle K. The store’s neon sign blinked on, but no one was inside—until the cash register started playing old rock hits from the 80s. A delivery driver walked in, confused by the music. He asked the empty counter, ‘Who turned up the 80s?’ Then he shrugged and ordered a coffee, smiling as the register played Duran Duran. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Circle K had its own DJ who only worked between 5 and 6 AM.
