About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and asked the attendant, ‘Why does everyone leave here with a smile?’ The attendant looked thoughtful for a moment, then grinned mischievously. 'Simple,' he said. 'We just slip a quarter into every customer's pocket before they leave.' The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement as he drove off, already planning his next visit to Circle K.
2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, clutching an envelope. ‘I think I left my keys here,’ he said with a sheepish smile. The attendant nodded knowingly as he scanned the parking lot. The attendant smiled and shook his head. 'You must be new around here,' he chuckled, pointing to a small sign by the entrance. 'We’ve had your keys for weeks now.' A moment of awkward silence followed until everyone burst into laughter. The neighbor walked away, muttering something about old age and memory loss, while the attendant waved goodbye, already wiping down another car's windshield.
3. A curious tourist parked their rental car at Circle K late one evening. As they approached the cashier booth, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Welcome to Circle K—where your tires never get dirty!' The tourist laughed and waved back, thinking it was just another prank. But as they drove through the car wash, every single tire emerged spotless—a miracle indeed! From then on, locals joked that Circle K had some kind of magical soap. The owner only smiled mysteriously and said, ‘Just another day at work.’
4. Late one night, a traveler pulled into Circle K, wondering aloud if they could really fill up on gas and coffee for just five dollars. As he paid, an old man behind the counter smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘Five bucks gets you more than fuel—you get a story to tell your grandkids someday.’ The traveler nodded, grinned, and drove off, already planning his tale.
