About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his truck. When he woke up, something strange lay on the dashboard—a tiny plastic dinosaur, its eyes glowing eerily in the dim light. Confused and startled, the driver picked it up, only to realize that it was a toy from a nearby convenience store—one he had passed many times before. With a laugh, he placed it back, thinking, ‘Maybe I’m just too tired for this job.’ A few minutes later, his neighbor popped in, saw the dinosaur, and exclaimed, “Hey, that’s my kid’s favorite!” The driver smiled, turned off the engine, and decided it was time for some well-deserved rest.

2. At Circle K, someone noticed that every time a customer paid with exact change, the cashier would suddenly start humming the same tune. Curious locals began asking if it was always the same song or did it depend on the denomination? One day, an old man came in and paid with a wrinkled one-dollar bill. The cashier broke into a jaunty little melody, which turned out to be ‘Happy Birthday’—but not just any birthday; it was his! Everyone burst out laughing when he realized everyone had been singing him happy songs without even knowing his age.

3. At Circle K, a regular complained loudly one morning: ‘Why does it always take forever for my coffee when I’m in a hurry?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Maybe your coffee knows you’re always in a hurry and decides to make itself extra special!’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been had, but everyone agreed that Circle K’s coffee was still worth waiting for.

4. At Circle K, a curious sign appeared on the gas pump one foggy morning: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ But no one could figure out how to claim their prize. Soon, customers started lining up, each hoping for that elusive cup of joe. A regular, clearly frustrated, finally asked the attendant, 'How do I win?' The attendant shrugged, 'Just fill up your tank, pay, and come back tomorrow.' Turns out, it was just a marketing gimmick to get people talking—no prizes involved.
