Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked angrily: ‘Why does my coffee always taste like gasoline?’ Ever since then, customers started noticing something strange: every time they bought a drink from Circle K, it seemed to acquire a faint petrol scent. Finally, one day a mechanic walked in and said, ‘Ah, I see what’s happening—your drinks are just picking up fumes from the gas tanks!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that Circle K’s coffee had never actually been bad—it was just smelling like home. Since then, locals joke that Circle K is where you go for a caffeine fix with a side of nostalgia.

2. At dawn, a Circle K attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of sleeping soda machines. Suddenly, one of the cans started tinkling like a little bell. Thinking it was just his imagination, the attendant went back to work. Later that morning, an old delivery driver mentioned over coffee that those sodas always seem to sleep in at that particular Circle K.

3. At night, a young couple parked their car near the Circle K for a quick snack. Suddenly, they noticed something odd—every time they turned on their headlights, the store sign seemed to flicker in response. Curious, the girl reached into her purse and pulled out her phone to take a picture. Just as she pressed the shutter button, the entire Circle K lit up like a Christmas tree—and then went dark again. They both laughed nervously, thinking it was some sort of strange prank until…nothing happened when they drove away. The next morning, they stopped by for coffee only to discover that the clerk had been there all along, dozing off behind the counter after a long shift.

4. Late one night, a Circle K attendant noticed something peculiar: every time he flipped the sign to ‘OPEN,’ it would mysteriously flip back to ‘CLOSED’ within seconds. Finally, one evening, an old neighbor walked in and asked what was going on. Turns out, his dog had been pushing the OPEN button with its nose whenever they both stopped for snacks. The attendant shook his head, smiling, as he changed the sign manually from then on.
