Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and noticed something strange: every time he approached the counter, an eerie humming sound would start coming from inside the store. At first, no one else seemed to hear it, but as he lingered longer than usual, the hum grew louder—like a distant drone of bees trapped in a jar. Finally, a regular customer walked in and asked what was buzzing. The delivery driver whispered, ‘I don’t know, but I’m getting used to it.’ The neighbor laughed and replied, ‘It’s just my beehive outside—they love the gas fumes!’ Everyone cracked up, and the humming became part of their daily routine.

2. One chilly night, an old man walked into Circle K wearing a fur hat and mittens that looked like they belonged in another century. The clerk raised an eyebrow as he asked for a pack of gum, but nothing seemed out of place until the man whispered, ‘I’m just here for the nostalgia.’ The clerk smiled and nodded, realizing the old timer was there not for the snacks, but for the warmth and familiarity of the place. As the man left, he turned back and said softly, 'Circle K—where time stands still.' The next day, everyone in town saw him buying his usual paperback novel from the same shelf.

3. One stormy afternoon, as a regular was filling up his truck at Circle K, he overheard someone shouting from inside: ‘Hey, you forgot your umbrella!’ The man looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Smiling to himself, he walked into the store and asked, ‘Who said that?’ The clerk shrugged and replied, ‘Must’ve been our ghostly customer who haunts the place on rainy days.’ The regular laughed and paid for his gas, leaving with an umbrella he didn’t remember bringing.

4. One autumn day, a delivery driver stopped by Circle K for a quick snack. As he reached for his usual energy drink, he noticed something odd on the counter—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: 'For your long drives—Circle K cares!' Inside was an unexpected treat: a freshly baked pie from the local bakery. The delivery driver grinned, realizing that someone had been watching out for him during those late-night runs.
