About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed something unusual in the Circle K’s convenience store aisle—a small wooden carving of an old-fashioned gas pump, complete with working parts. Nobody seemed to notice it except him. As he approached the counter, the clerk looked up and asked if everything was okay. The man nodded, picked up some gum, and left without mentioning the strange little carving. Months later, while browsing online, he stumbled upon an identical model on eBay—signed by none other than ‘Circle K’s Secret Carver.’ Turning around, he realized his friendly neighborhood attendant had been smiling knowingly all along.

2. A little boy followed his dad into the Circle K one afternoon. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the cash register: ‘Dad, look! The cashier just counted out twenty-one dollars… but there were only ten dollars in the till!’ The father smiled and whispered back, ‘Son, that’s because it’s a magical place where sometimes money appears from thin air.’ Just then, an older gentleman behind them cleared his throat and said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Actually, son, I just put another twenty bucks in the till myself!’

3. Late at night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he overheard two employees whispering about an old, rusted motorcycle hidden behind the cash register. Curious, he asked what it was. They grinned and said it belonged to some mysterious ‘neighbor’ who’d left years ago. Just as he paid for his snacks, they suddenly offered him a keychain shaped like a bike. Turns out, it was their prank—every new customer got one! The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll believe my own eyes.’

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K for a quick coffee break. Suddenly, a small dog appeared from behind the counter, wagging its tail and staring curiously at him. The driver smiled, bent down, and offered some crumbs from his sandwich. The little dog licked his hand and bounded off towards the back room. Curious, the man followed—and found an entire pack of adorable puppies playing under the counter. Turning around, he saw an embarrassed-looking clerk saying, ‘Oh, hi there… guess you met our newest employees!’
