About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K late one night, a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does the same old guy always buy just one candy bar?’ The old man looked up from his candy and smiled. ‘Because,’ he said softly, ‘it’s my last sweet before I go on that diet tomorrow.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing they’d met before—every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, same time, same candy bar. They both chuckled, and the old man added, “And don’t tell anyone, but it keeps me coming back here.”

2. At Circle K early morning, a sleepy clerk noticed something odd in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with boxes of cereal, each neatly arranged. Who left such an elaborate breakfast surprise? Curious but cautious, the clerk called out gently: ‘Anyone here?’ A voice from behind the cart replied, ‘Just setting up breakfast for my little buddy!’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood kid who loved cereal so much he’d sneak over every night after his parents went to bed.

3. At Circle K, an old man was paying for gas when he noticed something strange on the counter—a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free donuts if you can guess the manager’s secret word.’ Curious customers started guessing everything from ‘apple pie’ to ‘moonwalk,’ but none worked. Then, a local woman whispered something into the manager’s ear, and everyone got free pastries. Finally, a young delivery driver guessed ‘coffee break,’ and indeed—everyone received fresh doughnuts. The manager grinned and said, 'It wasn’t that hard, was it?' But no one knew whose whisper had really unlocked the secret.

4. At Circle K, on a foggy dawn, a sleepy clerk noticed that the reflection of the neon sign seemed to move, as if someone were standing behind him. Curious, he turned around—only to see his own shadow dancing on the wall due to an old, misaligned mirror. After a brief laugh, he adjusted it and went back to making coffee, muttering under his breath about ‘those darn reflections.’ A regular, who walked in just then, asked with a smile: ‘You okay, kid? Looks like you saw something strange!’
