Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a regular muttered one morning, ‘I swear, every time I buy coffee here, my cell phone dies.’ The next day, everyone’s phones went silent as soon as they paid for gas. Soon enough, everyone in town was stopping at Circle K just to check if their phone would die. A delivery driver even started carrying an extra battery everywhere he went. Then one morning, a regular announced proudly, ‘Guess what? My phone didn’t die today!’ Everyone cheered—until his car ran out of gas.

2. At Circle K, an early-morning employee noticed something odd. ‘Why does everyone always ask for “just enough gas to get home”?’ he wondered aloud. Soon, other employees started noticing strange patterns too—one customer always paid with exact change, another insisted on filling up exactly halfway every time. One morning, a regular asked jokingly, 'Circle K or am I being followed?' And that’s when the night manager revealed they were keeping a secret logbook of everyone's habits. Turns out it was just another day at the neighborhood fuel station.

3. At Circle K, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, why do people always pay for gas with pennies?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, they don’t really pay with pennies. It’s just a fun way of saying that people come here often.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the cashier with a wide smile, whispering again, ‘So it’s like our secret code?’ The clerk winked and said, ‘Yep, kinda like that!’

4. At Circle K, a delivery driver paused mid-unload one night, scratching his head. ‘Why is it,’ he wondered aloud, ‘that every time I come here, the clock on the wall seems exactly five minutes fast?’ Finally, another employee noticed and corrected the clock. The delivery guy shook his head with a smile, saying, 'Guess I'll never know why that clock was always so eager for us to leave.' A few days later, someone painted a big red arrow pointing towards the correct time above the counter—just in case anyone else got confused.
