Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve seen everything—except why do they always leave their shopping carts here?’ Finally, an old neighbor approached and asked with a smile: ‘Hey, did you know that these carts are actually for the handicapped customers inside? They just can’t carry them out themselves.’ The delivery driver looked sheepishly around, realizing his mistake, and muttered under his breath, ‘Now I’ve really seen everything!’

2. At Circle K, a little boy pointed and whispered, ‘Dad, what’s that glowing thing on the cash register?’ The father leaned down and whispered back, ‘Son, that’s just our secret disco ball.’ They both laughed as the cashier nodded knowingly, adjusting the neon light above the till with a smile. The boy grew up visiting Circle K often, always checking if the disco ball was still there—because, after all, some secrets are best kept between a kid, his dad, and their local gas station.

3. At Circle K, late one night, a cashier swore he heard someone whispering from the empty aisles. When he looked around, there was no one there. Curious, the cashier peered into each aisle but found nothing. The next day, an elderly neighbor stopped in and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just the usual ghostly visitor,’ joked the cashier, wiping down the counter. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts at Circle K, everyone laughed — except maybe the cashier, who’d learned to keep his shift-end stories to himself.

4. At Circle K, an early morning jogger stopped for water and noticed something strange: every time he passed, the gas pump seemed to change its expression, smiling or frowning depending on the weather. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it in the break room, and soon everyone was talking about ‘gas pump faces.’ The manager decided to have some fun and started changing the sign’s greeting based on the weather—‘Smile On Sunny Days’ became the new slogan. Now, whenever someone stops by, they ask, ‘What mood is Circle K today?’ It’s become part of the neighborhood banter.
