About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a regular noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the gas pumps themselves. Curious, he leaned closer and saw tiny lights flickering within the pump’s mechanism. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked over and winked, saying, ‘That’s just their secret nightlight.’ The regular laughed it off, realizing that sometimes the strangest things turn out to be nothing more than good ol’ fashioned Circle K charm.

2. One night, after closing, a delivery driver pulled into Circle K for a quick snack. As he paid for his sandwich, the cashier whispered: ‘Did you hear? The gas pump talks when no one's around.’ Curious, our delivery driver returned late one night. Sure enough, the pump said, 'Fill her up!' in a deep voice. They both laughed, and from then on, Circle K became known as the place where pumps crack jokes.

3. One foggy morning, a regular stopped at Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Did you see that old man walking towards us?’ The clerk replied casually, ‘No, I haven’t.’ Just then, an ancient figure appeared from behind the gas pumps, muttering something about needing directions to the nearest exit. The clerk smiled knowingly and said, ‘He’s been here every morning for weeks now—just likes to scare people before his coffee.’ The old man nodded, adjusted his hat, and walked off into the mist, muttering something about ‘bad directions’ again. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Old guy must be half blind or just loves scaring the locals!’

4. One autumn afternoon, a neighbor popped into Circle K for some snacks. As she reached for her favorite candy bar, she overheard an unusual conversation between two clerks: 'I swear,' said one, 'every time I look away, that display shifts ever so slightly.' The other clerk shrugged, ‘Maybe it’s just the wind outside.’ Suddenly, the candy bars shifted again, and everyone in line laughed. The neighbor bought her snack and left, thinking nothing of it—until months later when she saw a delivery driver frantically searching for his lucky pen. Turns out, he’d lost it behind the counter during another mysterious rearrangement.
