About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. The clerk swore he heard whispers coming from the cooler section every time someone bought a Slurpee. One day, a delivery driver mentioned hearing those same whispers while restocking the shelves. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it—until one brave regular asked if they could try making a Slurpee with their eyes closed. Turned out, the noise came from an old jukebox playing ’80s hits behind the counter.

2. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty bicycle helmet in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking it was someone’s lost item. Later that day, as he drove past Circle K again, he saw an elderly gentleman waving frantically from behind the counter. ‘That’s mine!’ the man exclaimed, pointing to the helmet. Turns out, the old fellow had been searching for his missing headgear ever since he left it there years ago. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever anyone buys gas or snacks at Circle K, they joke about the ‘lost helmet incident.’

3. At dawn, while filling up his bike at Circle K, a boy noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the dog next door would start howling in perfect rhythm. Finally, one morning, the boy asked the delivery driver, ‘Why does your dog howl when I fill up?’ The driver shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Max—he thinks it’s his breakfast alarm.’

4. At midnight, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Circle K, he heard someone whisper: ‘Fill it up quick—there’s a ghost in the bathroom!’ He quickly glanced around but saw no one. Just as he finished pumping gas, an old man appeared from behind the counter and asked if everything was okay. The driver stammered, ‘Uh, yeah, just a ghost story!’ The neighbor chuckled, ‘Ah, that’s our resident prankster. He loves scaring people.’ They both laughed, and the driver drove off, realizing that sometimes even ghosts like a good joke.
