About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does that old lady always buy exactly two packs of gum?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'She must like them in twos.' The regular nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, 'Maybe she’s saving them for her husband—two packs per day keeps the doctor away!' Everyone laughed, and the mystery remained unsolved, but everyone felt just a little warmer knowing someone was thinking of their loved ones even at midnight.

2. At Circle K, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload and announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’ve just received an emergency shipment of unicorn milk.' Customers rushed to grab their bottles, but soon realized it was just almond milk with rainbow food coloring. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Who knows? Maybe next time it’ll really be unicorn milk!’

3. At Circle K, someone left an old vinyl record behind the counter. For weeks, it sat there, gathering dust until one morning, the cashier picked it up and popped it into the store’s ancient jukebox. Suddenly, the place filled with the sound of classic rock—much to everyone's surprise. As the music played, customers started dancing in line, even the grumpy old mechanic from across the street joined in. By lunchtime, the whole town knew about the unexpected concert. A few days later, a delivery driver dropped off a brand-new jukebox—apparently, his uncle owned a vintage shop—and everyone agreed that keeping the original was part of the fun.

4. At Circle K, a small boy pointed excitedly at the cash register. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why is the gas pump talking to itself?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s not talking—it’s just pumping gas.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to admire the colorful signs on the wall. Meanwhile, an older gentleman behind them chuckled and said, “That’s our Circle K for you—always full of surprises!”
