About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was late afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for a quick break. The cooler door opened with a familiar hum, and out stepped a bottle of water—only it wasn’t just any bottle. As he reached for it, the bottle twirled in mid-air, landed on its label, and started reading aloud: 'Drink me and win a free tank full!' Startled, our delivery driver took a sip—and promptly found himself floating towards the ceiling. A regular passing by looked up and asked, ‘Hey, isn’t that the guy from UPS?’

2. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K. The sun had barely risen over the desert, casting long shadows across the empty parking lot. As he stepped inside, the clerk whispered something to another employee, causing them both to laugh softly. As the delivery driver approached the counter, the clerk leaned in and said, 'Hey, did you know that if you stand on your head for three minutes every time you fill up here, you'll get unlimited gas for life?' The delivery driver looked puzzled but decided to give it a try. A few seconds later, his neighbor walked in and asked, ‘What are you doing?’ To which the delivery guy replied with a straight face, ‘Getting my lifetime unlimited gas!’ They both burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever someone filled up at Circle K, they’d see an oddly balanced man standing upside down.

3. It was early dawn on a typical weekday when a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K. The store was nearly empty, but something unusual caught his eye—a sign above the counter read: ‘Ask for a free coffee if you can solve our riddle.’ Curious, he approached the counter and asked politely, ‘Excuse me, what’s the riddle?’ A gruff voice replied, ‘If you can tell me why my cat always sits in front of the Circle K sign,’ said an old man behind the counter, ‘you get your coffee.’ After thinking hard, the driver answered, ‘Because it thinks that’s where the treats are!’ Everyone burst into laughter—even the cat.

4. It was dusk when a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and noticed something unusual on the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, all customers—your next tank of gas will be free if you can guess the number of jelly beans in that jar.’ A regular customer stood up confidently and said he knew exactly how many beans were inside—a thousand plus one. The crowd burst into laughter as everyone guessed wildly between twenty and two hundred. Finally, after much counting, it turned out there were indeed a thousand beans… but someone had forgotten to count the extra ‘plus one’ bean hidden under the jar! Moral of the story? Always double-check your assumptions before claiming victory.
