Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular filled up his truck at Circle K, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tanks with luck today—we’ve got extra!’ Since then, customers claim that on certain days, gas really does seem to last longer. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire, and every Friday evening, Circle K was packed with eager drivers hoping for their own lucky tank. One such customer was a delivery driver who insisted on filling up every week just because 'it’s cheaper than buying good luck charms!' And although no one ever proved it scientifically, many still believe that stopping by Circle K brings more than just gasoline—it might bring you some much-needed serendipity.

2. One morning, while filling up her car, a woman noticed something odd on the gas pump display: it kept switching between prices for regular and premium gasoline without any reason. Finally, an old man approached the counter and asked if anyone needed help. The attendant shrugged and said, ‘Just another day at Circle K.’ Turns out, the price display was just malfunctioning, and everyone got a laugh out of it—except maybe the delivery driver who paid twice for his diesel.

3. One afternoon, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver overheard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our Circle K now sells the world’s slowest coffee.’ Curious, he decided to give it a try. The moment he took his first sip, time seemed to stand still—until finally, after what felt like eternity, he realized it was actually just a really strong cup of coffee. From then on, whenever anyone asked for their usual, everyone at Circle K would wink and say, 'Slow but sure!'

4. One day, while pumping gas at Circle K, a man heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new policy is that if you leave your window open for more than five minutes, we’ll fill it up for free!’ A regular customer, Mr. Smith, was so excited he left his window cracked overnight. Next morning, he found his car filled with nothing but air—literally! The attendant laughed and said, 'Sir, we followed the rule to the letter!'
