Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy would stop in his tracks. His eyes widened as if seeing something magical appear before him. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘What’s got you so mesmerized?’ The boy looked up shyly and said, ‘I thought it was just me who saw Santa hiding behind that sign!’ They both laughed until another customer joined them, remarking, ‘Guess Santa needs gas too.’

2. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for coffee and noticed something odd. The cashier's nametag kept changing from ‘Jason’ to ‘Jasmine,’ back again, every time he looked away. Finally, Jason/Jasmine caught him staring and asked if everything was okay. Embarrassed, the driver explained what he saw. With a sly smile, they replied, 'Just our little inside joke—we switch tags when no one's looking!'

3. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets around here after midnight? A local delivery driver once asked himself that very question while pulling into Circle K for a late-night caffeine fix. As he stepped inside, an old man in a flannel shirt was counting change behind the counter. Without missing a beat, the driver muttered, ‘You must be the night watchman.’ The cashier looked up and replied, ‘No, son, I’m just waiting for my lottery numbers to come up.’

4. At dawn, when Circle K's pumps were still cool from the night, a jogger always stopped for a quick snack. One morning, he noticed something strange—an old newspaper clipping taped inside the door. Curious, he unfolded it and read an ancient notice about a lost cat named Whiskers. Smiling, he stuck it back up and bought his usual bagel. Later that day, a delivery driver asked if he’d seen a skinny tabby wandering around. ‘Nope,’ said the jogger, ‘but I found an ad for one!’ The whole place burst out laughing.
