About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how everyone here seems to be in a hurry but no one ever buys more than one thing?’ The cashier just smiled and replied, ‘That’s because they’re all waiting for their turn in line!’ A delivery driver then chimed in, ‘Actually, I always buy two things—one for myself and one for my dog!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe it wasn’t such an empty place after all.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and noticed something strange: every time he turned on his headlights, the gas pump seemed to whisper his name. Curious, he slowed down and whispered back, ‘What’s that, old friend?’ Suddenly, the pump lit up with a neon sign reading, ‘Circle K—Whispering Gas Since 1987.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an old joke from a neighbor who liked practical jokes.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and noticed something strange: every time he paid with cash, the register made a soft, echoing laugh that only he could hear. Finally, curious as to who was laughing, our delivery driver decided to pay using his credit card—silence. The next morning, when he mentioned it to a regular customer, they both burst out laughing: it turned out the store’s cashier had a tiny speaker hidden under the counter playing old comedy records during slow hours.

4. At Circle K, a delivery driver once wondered aloud: ‘I bet that gas pump has seen more kisses than my wife!’ Suddenly, an old lady in a pickup truck leaned out and shouted, ‘Sonny, you’re not far off! My husband proposed here thirty years ago!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who realized his wife might actually be jealous of the gas pump after all.
