Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get customers who buy just one match?’ The clerk shrugged, 'Oh yeah, happens every now and then.' The driver laughed, thinking it was some kind of prank. Then, one evening, a quiet neighbor walked in and asked for one match too. The next day, everyone found out he used it to light his barbecue—turns out he’d been too embarrassed to ask for lighter fluid!'

2. At dawn one morning, an old man walked into Circle K and asked the clerk for directions to ‘the place where dreams come true.’ When the clerk replied there wasn’t such a place, the man pointed outside and said, ‘Then why is everyone leaving?’ Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked for a coffee. He looked around and said, 'I guess it's not here either.' The old man grinned and whispered to the clerk, 'See? They’re just going for their daily fix!'

3. Late one night, a sleepy customer muttered to the cashier, ‘I thought you were supposed to be open until midnight.’ The clerk shrugged, ‘We are—just not today!’ A delivery driver yawned and asked, ‘Then why’s there a neon sign saying “Open 24/7”?’ The cashier smiled, ‘That’s our secret, pal—it keeps customers coming back!’

4. At closing time, a small dog ran into Circle K, yapping excitedly as it chased its tail around the counter. The clerk laughed and picked up a leash from behind the counter. ‘Come on, little guy,’ she said, leading him outside. The dog stopped chasing his tail long enough to wag his tail at everyone before bounding off down the street. A delivery driver whistled, shaking his head with a smile. ‘That’s three times this week,’ he remarked to no one in particular.
