Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the cash register, the store’s dog would start barking wildly and dash under the counter. No matter how many times he tried, it never failed—until one morning when the dog didn’t move. Curious, the driver peeked under the counter and found the little pooch fast asleep with a tiny donut clenched in his teeth. Turns out, the dog was just protecting his breakfast stash. Since then, whenever anyone orders a doughnut, the staff teasingly ask if they’re here for ‘the manager’s secret snack.’

2. At Circle K, an early morning jogger stumbled upon something curious: every dawn, a shadowy figure would appear and swiftly fill up a gas canister before vanishing into thin air. One foggy night, a delivery driver claimed he saw the same ghostly figure filling up his truck—only to discover it was just his neighbor’s cat, chasing its tail around the nozzle. Since then, everyone jokes that Circle K has the best invisible customers in town.

3. At Circle K, a customer asked curiously: ‘Why does that old man always buy exactly seven bottles of water?’ The clerk shrugged and replied with a smile, ‘Oh, he’s just our lucky charm. Legend has it, if he buys seven bottles every Thursday, our gas pumps never run dry.’ A delivery driver nodded knowingly, adding, ‘And when he forgets, we all chip in for his next visit!’

4. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, why is that dog always sitting in front of the store?’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, he’s not just any dog—he’s our loyal friend who guards the place.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into a big smile. ‘Really? Can I feed him sometime?’ asked the child with wide eyes. ‘Absolutely,’ replied his dad, ‘but only after you’ve finished your homework!’
