Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a regular noticed something strange one morning. As he filled up his truck, his little dog started barking furiously at an empty gas pump. The man looked around puzzled, then laughed and said, ‘Must be that new song on the radio,’ as he drove off. The dog continued barking for another minute before wandering over to sniff the nearby newspaper rack, completely forgetting about the gas pump.

2. At dawn, when most Circle Ks are just waking up, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. The clerk eyed it suspiciously as he signed for it. The package was heavy and wrapped in brown paper. As the driver left, the clerk noticed a small note: 'For Mr. Nightshift, enjoy!' Curious, he opened it—inside were two warm donuts and a smiley face drawn on the box. From then on, whenever there was a late night at the Circle K, someone anonymously delivered fresh pastries.

3. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly as he watched the gas pump display. The numbers seemed to jump around erratically, like they had a mind of their own. Finally, an old man approached and asked what was going on. With a twinkle in his eye, he explained that it was just an ancient fuel gauge, adjusting to the whimsical weather patterns outside. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, life at Circle K returned to normal—except for the occasional glance at the gas pump, just to see if it would do something funny again.

4. At Circle K, an old sign above the counter read ‘Ask for Jerry if you want extra sunshine.’ No one knew who Jerry was or what it meant, but customers started smiling anyway. One day, a delivery driver asked for Jerry and got a bottle of orange juice instead. A regular overheard and quipped, 'Jerry must be on vacation!' The whole place erupted in laughter, and from then on, everyone at Circle K believed that Jerry was the secret ingredient in their morning coffee.
