Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something strange. The cashier started calling out numbers—first one, then two, and sometimes three times in a row. No one seemed to notice but him. Finally, after weeks of observing, our regular approached the cashier late one night. ‘Hey,’ he whispered, ‘you been saying “three” every time?’ Cashier looked puzzled, then sheepishly admitted, ‘Oh yeah… I’ve been practicing my lucky number for the lottery!’

2. At dawn, when Circle K’s parking lot was empty but for one lone truck, its driver noticed an odd reflection in the gas pumps. As he squinted into the misty morning light, it looked like a shadowy figure standing just beyond the convenience store's entrance. Curious, the driver got out and approached the door—only to realize it was just his neighbor, dozing off after another late-night shift. They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone asked why there was always one car parked outside Circle K at dawn, everyone knew—it was just a friendly neighborhood sleepover.

3. Late at night, when Circle K’s cash register clicked softly in the quiet, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He asked the clerk if he could leave his package outside until morning—and then vanished into thin air. The next morning, the clerk found a small package wrapped in brown paper sitting outside. Inside was a note: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—needed some sleep after delivering that heavy order.’ Below it lay a bag of freshly baked cookies from the local bakery.

4. At dusk, when Circle K’s fluorescent lights bathed the parking lot in eerie glow, a delivery driver noticed an old pickup truck parked next to the gas pumps. The truck had no license plates and its headlights never seemed to turn off. As he approached closer, the delivery driver saw that the truck was filled with boxes of donuts—freshly baked ones. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who forgot to switch off his headlights while delivering treats for everyone after work.
