Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Circle K was usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot was filled with tiny footprints leading from the gas pumps to the convenience store. Curious, he followed them inside and found nothing but an empty store and a note on the counter: ‘Sorry for the mess, guys! Just taking a break.’ Below it was a tiny pair of mittens and a smiley face drawn in marker. Turned out, a neighborhood raccoon had discovered Circle K’s late-night snacks.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K for a quick snack. The store was nearly empty—just an old man standing by the cash register, humming softly to himself. As he approached the counter, the old man suddenly stopped humming and asked, ‘Are you Mr. Brown from down the street?’ Surprised, the driver replied, ‘No, I’m just a delivery guy.’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man said, ‘Ah, well then, welcome to my little game!’ And with that, he handed over a warm cookie and wished him goodnight.

3. At midnight, while stocking shelves in the Circle K convenience store, an employee overheard a customer mutter, ‘I’m pretty sure I saw that same cashier here last week… but he looked older.’ The next day, another employee noticed the same customer buying coffee and whispered, 'Hey, didn’t you just leave?' The man smiled sheepishly and replied, 'Time travel is tough when you’re only stopping for gas!'

4. At dusk, while restocking snacks at Circle K, a clerk found an old, dusty coin collection nestled among the candy bars. As he flipped through the coins, he stumbled upon a penny dated 1987—oddly enough, exactly his age. Turns out it was left behind by a regular who always bought gas here. The clerk kept the collection as a reminder of that quirky little town and its funny stories. Now, whenever someone asks why there’s a glass case filled with old coins inside Circle K, he just smiles and says, ‘Who knows? Maybe one day they’ll be worth something.’
