Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every night, for exactly three minutes, an old man appeared from nowhere and whispered into the cash register before vanishing back into thin air. Finally curious, the delivery driver pretended to leave but hid behind a pump. After three minutes, the old man reappeared, mumbled something about ‘three dollars short,’ and vanished again. The next morning, the manager found a wrinkled five-dollar bill in the register—with a note scribbled in pencil: 'Thanks for the change!'

2. At dawn, when Circle K’s parking lot was empty but for one lone truck, its driver heard an odd humming sound from inside the store. Peering through the window, he saw a shadowy figure filling up a gas canister—only it wasn’t moving. Curious, the driver opened the door slowly. The figure turned, revealing nothing more than an old calendar stuck to its face. With a startled yelp, they both jumped back—the calendar fell off with a loud thud, and there stood just an empty shelf. Turning around sheepishly, a regular customer smiled, ‘Hey, didn’t mean to scare you! Thought I’d help myself to some coffee.’

3. At closing time, when Circle K’s cash register clicked its last sale of the day, an old man approached the counter with a strange request. ‘I’d like to buy your entire store,’ he said, leaning on the counter with a twinkle in his eye. The clerk blinked back, confused but intrigued. ‘Just kidding!’ laughed the old man, pulling out a single dollar bill. ‘Can I have one pack of gum?’

4. At dusk, when Circle K’s parking lot emptied except for one old pickup truck, a clerk heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, she approached the source and found an ancient radio tuned to static. Just as she was about to switch it off, an old delivery driver walked in, grinning broadly. ‘That’s my new alarm,’ he said. ‘Keeps away ghosts.’ The clerk laughed, shaking her head, but couldn’t help smiling back.
