Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Circle K when a delivery driver pulled up with a truckload of snacks. As he unloaded boxes, something peculiar happened: every time he opened a particular crate, an old man from across the street would appear out of thin air and grab a bag of chips before vanishing again. Finally, after weeks of this odd routine, the delivery guy asked one of his neighbors what was going on. ‘Oh,’ said the old fellow with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s just Mr. Jenkins next door—he loves those potato chips more than anything else!’

2. It was late afternoon when an old pickup truck pulled into Circle K. The attendant noticed something odd: every time the driver shifted gears, the truck emitted a faint humming sound, like a distant bee colony. Finally, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the humming stopped altogether. The attendant shrugged and went inside for his break. Later that night, he heard a familiar buzzing from his own refrigerator—turns out it needed new parts. A simple fix, but enough to make him smile whenever he thought of the old guy in the pickup.

3. At Circle K one night, a customer growled at the cashier, ‘Why is it always out of my favorite candy?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Sir, we never get your favorite.’ A few days later, an old man walked in and asked for his usual. The cashier smiled and said, ‘Surprise, sir—we got your favorite today!’ The man grumbled, ‘Finally found some, huh? Now I’ll be here every day.’ And he grinned back.

4. A local teenager, bored on a Saturday afternoon, decided to see if he could sneak past the Circle K’s security cameras using only a cardboard box and some duct tape. He managed to crawl through the gap in the fence and make it inside, but alas, his disguise wasn’t fooling anyone—especially not the friendly neighborhood cat that kept staring at him from behind the counter. In the end, the teenager sheepishly emerged, promising never to try such stunts again, while the cashier chuckled and waved goodbye.
