About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for a quick snack. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—a shadowy figure standing in the reflection of the store’s glass door. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking it might be his friend from down the street. ‘Hey!’ he called out. The figure turned around—just an old teddy bear leaning against the door. Relieved, the driver bought his snacks and left, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll have to ask Dad to fix that bear.’

2. One morning, a sleepy delivery driver pulled into Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell coffee strong enough to wake the dead?’ The clerk replied without missing a beat, ‘We don’t sell that kind of coffee here—we only have what’ll keep them buried!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head. A few minutes later, he returned with a big smile on his face, saying, 'Actually, I was just kidding about waking the dead—just needed some caffeine for my early shift!' The clerk smiled back warmly, replying, 'Next time you're serious, we'll know!'

3. A regular sat inside Circle K, reading an old newspaper and sipping coffee late on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Suddenly, he noticed something peculiar in the paper’s classified section. He rubbed his eyes and re-read it—an ad for ‘Lost Poodle: Reward Offered.’ Curious, he asked the cashier if anyone had come looking for a poodle recently. Turns out, the same poodle had been visiting every Sunday for months, sitting outside the store, waiting patiently for its owner. The regular laughed, finishing his coffee: ‘Guess who just got himself a new best friend?’

4. Late one night, a Circle K attendant heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with gas… and don’t forget to top off my invisible car.’ Curious but cautious, the attendant looked around—nothing out of place. He filled an empty air canister from behind the counter, pretended to pump gas into what seemed like thin air, then added a squirt of invisible windshield wiper fluid for good measure. The voice chuckled softly in response: 'Thanks, kid. See you tomorrow!'
