Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The sun was just rising over the gas station’s roof, casting long shadows across the parking lot. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between the pumps. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing more. Just as he finished unloading, an old man approached from behind the convenience store, muttering about his morning coffee. Turning back, the delivery driver realized with a laugh that the shadowy figure had been none other than his own reflection in the gas pump's chrome finish.

2. It was a humdrum Sunday afternoon at Circle K when a delivery driver heard something peculiar—a rhythmic thumping sound coming from behind the gas pumps. Curious, he walked around the pumps and found an old vinyl record stuck between the posts. It seemed like it had been there for ages, slowly spinning in the wind. The delivery driver picked up the record, dusted it off, and popped it into his truck’s stereo. Turns out, it was some obscure country tune from the ’80s. By the end of the day, everyone at Circle K knew the song so well they could sing along—even the neighborhood dogs joined in with their own enthusiastic chorus.

3. It was just another day at Circle K when a delivery driver overheard a strange announcement on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, customers! Due to an urgent shortage of coffee beans, our espresso machine has been temporarily converted into a gumball dispenser.’ The delivery driver looked around, confused, then shrugged and helped himself to a gumball. A minute later, a regular walked in, asked for his usual coffee, and received a baggie filled with colorful plastic spheres. Everyone burst out laughing, including the befuddled barista who had no idea what was going on. The next morning, the sign outside read: ‘Circle K—Espresso or Gumballs? Your choice!’

4. It was an ordinary evening at Circle K when a delivery driver noticed a little boy staring intently at the cash register. The moment he looked up, the boy whispered something strange: ‘Mom, why does it say “Gasoline” on the milk?’ The delivery driver chuckled and leaned down, whispering back, 'Because son, here in Circle K everything’s a gas!' The boy thought for a second then nodded knowingly, satisfied with the answer.
