Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for a quick snack. The store was nearly empty—just an old man stocking shelves and a lone customer buying lottery tickets. Suddenly, the cash register started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own. The old man looked around suspiciously, but no one else seemed to notice. The lone customer laughed it off, saying, 'Must be my lucky day!' As soon as he said that, the register switched to ‘You’ve Got Mail.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized his cake had been delivered early. The end.

2. A neighborhood kid discovered an old, rusty key hidden beneath one of the gas pumps at Circle K. Curious what it unlocked, he showed it to his friends, and soon everyone in town was speculating on its mysterious purpose. Finally, someone decided to use the key during a power outage. To everyone’s surprise, it opened…the bathroom door! Since then, whenever the electricity goes down, locals gather around the pumps for a flashlight tour of the restroom. A regular even brought a small generator just to keep the lights on while they explore.

3. At closing time, an employee heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Last chance to fill your tank with Circle K magic fuel—guaranteed to make your car run smoother and your day brighter!’ The next morning, a delivery driver stopped in for his usual coffee. As he paid, he mentioned the strange announcement from the night before. The manager smiled and said, 'That was just our secret way of saying goodbye.' Everyone laughed, knowing that Circle K’s real magic comes from its friendly staff and warm atmosphere.

4. At dawn, a Circle K clerk noticed something strange: every morning, a single coffee cup appeared on the counter, filled with change and a note that read, ‘Thanks for the early start.’ One day, an old man walked in and asked for a cup of coffee. The clerk smiled and said, 'Sir, you’ve been coming here every morning before sunrise.' The man looked puzzled but nodded. Turns out, he was the mysterious tipper all along—just wanted everyone to know it wasn’t magic, just good karma.
