A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed something strange. The usually bustling gas station seemed deserted, except for a lone customer who kept refilling his coffee cup from the self-service machine. Finally, after what felt like hours, another car pulled in, and an old friend of the store walked in, commenting on how slow things were today. ‘I haven’t seen you here in ages!’ she said with a smile. Turns out, it had been a power outage that morning, leaving everyone else at home enjoying their morning brew.

2. It was a typical Friday afternoon at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the store’s shopping baskets. A small, dusty teddy bear with mismatched buttons seemed to be watching him intently from among the snacks and drinks. As he picked it up, the bear gave a little wave, as if saying goodbye. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe he was seeing things. Later that evening, while putting away his belongings at home, he found another identical bear hidden inside his lunchbox. Turns out, someone had been leaving these adorable surprises around town for weeks—just because.

3. It was just another day at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the store’s shopping baskets. Among bags of chips and cans of soda lay a mysterious old keychain with no apparent owner. The delivery driver picked up the keychain curiously and asked around if anyone claimed it. No luck. So he decided to keep it as a joke gift for his wife—she loved finding random treasures. Later that evening, while locking up, the manager found an envelope under the counter with a note reading: ‘Found your lost treasure!’ Inside were some free drinks vouchers from Circle K.’

4. It was just another day at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. ‘Who left their shopping cart here?’ he muttered, glancing at the empty parking lot. As he approached the cart, he saw an old photo album sticking out from beneath it. Curious, he picked up the cart and found an elderly lady waving cheerfully from behind the wheelchair she’d parked there. ‘Hey!’ she called, ‘I thought you were supposed to be delivering gas, not groceries!’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, as she waved goodbye with her shopping list still clutched in hand.
