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 store's automatic doors, they would suddenly open wide on their own, as if greeting him. Curious kids passing by started pointing and whispering, 'Look, mommy, it's like they're waving!' One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked if the doors were always so friendly. The manager shook his head, smiled, and said, ‘No, they usually just hate everyone equally.’ Everyone laughed, and soon Circle K became known not for its mysterious doors but for its warm banter and good coffee.

2. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The gas pump talks back!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to whisper back, ‘It’s just the computerized voice, honey.’ As she paid for the gas, an old man in line chuckled, ‘Kids these days,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘think everything’s magic!’

3. At Circle K, an early morning employee found something peculiar in the parking lot—a small, perfectly folded origami crane perched on top of the cash register. The next day, another employee discovered a tiny note beneath the crane: 'Thank you for always being open!' Turned out, it was left by a regular who had never bothered to sign up for their frequent buyer program.

4. At Circle K, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store late one night. Curious, he approached the counter only to discover that it seemed to originate from the cash register. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that an old coin slot was emitting the noise like a tiny music box. Turns out, someone had placed a nickel there earlier in the day. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the singing cash register—including the neighbor who came every week to buy his coffee and newspapers with exactly five cents less than usual.
