Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Circle Ks are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot. A small, furry creature kept darting between cars, leaving behind a trail of glitter. Curious, he followed it and found a tiny unicorn brushing its mane with a sparkly comb. ‘Morning routine,’ the little creature yawned. The delivery driver laughed, thinking he’d seen enough strange things for one morning. Back inside, he mentioned it only to a regular who said, “Oh, that’s just Sparkles. She hangs out here every day.”

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at the Circle K, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer dancing in circles, arms flailing wildly, while singing along to an invisible radio. The delivery driver knocked on the door gently, thinking maybe the music was too loud for him to hear outside. The man stopped mid-swing and looked around confused, until he realized there was no radio playing. With a sheepish smile, he explained that sometimes he just likes to dance when nobody’s watching—especially to oldies from the ’80s. The two shared a laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone asked why people gathered at Circle K late at night, they’d simply say, ‘It’s where your neighbor goes to shake it off.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at Circle K, he spotted an oddly familiar plastic bag on the gas station’s empty parking lot. Curious, he approached and found it contained a neatly wrapped package—complete with a handwritten note that read: ‘Happy Birthday, Delivery Guy!’ As he opened the package, out popped a warm slice of birthday cake! Surprised but happy, he grinned and thought, ‘Whoever you are, thanks for the sweet surprise.’ Turns out, it was just his friendly neighborhood customer who always paid cash and never said hello.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at Circle K, he spotted an unusual item in the parking lot—a bicycle with no tires, but its handlebars spinning like a top whenever it rained. Curious, the driver approached and noticed that the spinning handlebars seemed to glow faintly when wet. He decided to test it himself—just for fun—and found that his rain-soaked hat made them spin even faster. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how Circle K’s magical bike had entertained them all.}
