Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Circle K is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed an old man slowly walking towards the store. The sun had barely risen, yet there he was, carrying a small bundle and muttering something about ‘the light being just right.’ As the delivery driver approached him, the old man looked up with twinkling eyes and said, 'Finally, someone who can help me get inside before the coffee runs out!' Turns out, it was just an early-morning regular, always coming for his special blend—even if he did show up slightly earlier than usual.

2. At midnight, when the Circle K clerk was counting change, he heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: 'Fill it up with stars today.' He turned around—no one there. Curious, he looked again—and still nothing. Then an old man in line chuckled and said, ‘Just Circle K’s way of wishing you a starry night.’ The clerk smiled, realizing it was just another late-night prank, but felt a warm glow inside anyway.

3. At closing time, when Circle K’s neon sign flickers its last, a night security guard spotted something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Fill up with luck today.’ Curious, he typed it in, and much to his surprise, the pump started dispensing not just gasoline but also little golden coins! The next morning, everyone in town lined up for their daily dose of ‘lucky fuel.’ However, after a week, the guard realized that only those who believed truly got the fill-up bonus—so he decided to keep quiet, lest his secret get out and spoil everyone else's fun.

4. In the early morning fog, when Circle K's lights were the only ones awake on the street, a delivery driver spotted something odd: a shadowy figure refilling the gas pumps without ever touching the controls. Curious, the delivery driver watched from afar as the ghostly figure disappeared into thin air after each fill-up. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was stopping by Circle K for midnight gas station visits—just in case they caught another glimpse of the mysterious helper. The next day, however, an elderly neighbor commented with a smile, ‘I guess that’s why it always runs so smoothly here.’
