About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed something unusual in the Circle K’s convenience store: an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Lucky Coins.’ The sign next to it read, ‘Take one if you wish, but leave one when you go.’ Curious customers started taking coins, only to discover that their luck seemed to change—some got unexpected discounts, others found forgotten wallets, while a few even won small bets they never placed. Finally, an elderly lady took the last coin and wished for better health for her grandson. Soon after, she received a phone call saying he was doing much better. Meanwhile, a delivery driver decided to test his luck by leaving five dollars instead of a single coin—and ended up winning a free coffee from another local shop! The legend of Circle K’s Lucky Coin Jar became just another charming tale among many.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K to grab some snacks. As he approached the counter, he heard an unexpected announcement over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new self-service fuel pump has been malfunctioning again—please fill your tanks with kindness instead.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but smiled, thinking it was just another quirky local custom. He filled his tank with a hearty ‘thank you’ and drove off into the night. The next day, everyone in town knew about Circle K’s unique policy, and soon enough, every time someone filled up their car, they’d say something nice or leave a small gift on the pump. It became a friendly tradition that brought joy to many—a true Circle K miracle.

3. Late one afternoon, a neighbor pulled into Circle K for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he noticed an oddly familiar face behind the cash register—someone who’d moved away years ago. Just as he was about to ask if it really was him, the man smiled and said, 'Hey there, old friend! How’ve you been?' Turned out it was just another regular guy with an uncanny resemblance, making small talk over a bag of chips.

4. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention all customers—we’ve just received a shipment of talking donuts!’ Curious glances turned towards the counter as everyone waited for the first words from these peculiar pastries. The delivery driver leaned in closer to hear better, and one doughnut piped out, 'Excuse me? We’re not talking donuts, we’re talking Danish!' The crowd erupted into laughter, and soon enough, it was just another funny story from Circle K. A regular nodded knowingly, whispering to his friend, 'Yup, that’s why they say you never know what you’ll find at Circle K.'
