About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Circle K clerk locked up for the day, customers noticed something strange happening in the parking lot. A little boy, playing with his toy car, kept turning around and pointing towards the empty storefront. Every time he did that, his dog would start barking excitedly. Finally, one curious customer decided to follow the boy and discovered him talking to an old teddy bear, which was sitting on a crate outside. The bear’s arm had been painted to look like it was holding a neon sign reading ‘Open.’ Everyone laughed when they realized the kid was just imagining his favorite toy welcoming them in. Since then, locals joke that Circle K is always open—just not for business hours.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into the Circle K parking lot, he saw something odd: the gas station’s neon sign was flickering in time with an unseen heartbeat. Curious, the driver approached the counter, only to see the clerk humming along to the same rhythm. Turns out, it was just an old radio playing deep into the night. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe Circle K had its own DJ after all.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into the Circle K parking lot, he heard an odd announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, all loyal customers! Due to an urgent shortage of snacks, our nacho cheese dip has been declared a national treasure and is now unavailable.’ Confused but amused, the delivery driver shrugged it off and went inside for a soda. As he approached the counter, he noticed everyone staring at a small jar labeled ‘National Treasure Nacho Cheese Dip.’ A regular whispered, ‘Better stock up while you can!’ The driver chuckled, paid for his drink, and drove away, leaving behind a Circle K legend that would be retold for years to come.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled into the Circle K parking lot, he heard an eerie voice over the store’s intercom: ‘Would you like fries with that?’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged and ordered: 'Sure, why not?' Moments later, a bag of fries appeared in front of him. The driver laughed it off, thinking it was just a prank until his neighbor walked in, holding a tray of freshly baked cookies and saying, 'And would you like something sweet with that?'
