Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Circle K clerk locked up for the day, customers noticed something strange: every now and then, a small dog would appear from behind the gas pumps and dash into the store. The dog always approached one particular delivery driver with a toy in its mouth, as if trying to give it back. Finally, one evening after closing, the clerk saw the dog approach an old delivery driver with a crumpled paper bag. The driver smiled, took the bag, opened it, and pulled out a half-eaten sandwich. He tossed it back to the dog with a wink, saying, ‘Thanks, little guy. I owe you one!’

2. Late one night, a Circle K customer asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever see those strange lights over there?’ The next morning, employees found that someone had drawn a UFO on the gas pumps. A few days later, an excited delivery driver came in and said, 'Hey, did you hear? Those lights are back!' The manager replied with a smile, 'Oh yeah? Well, our new sign painter must be an alien fanatic.' Everyone laughed, and life at Circle K went on as usual.

3. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the Circle K counter and asked, 'Does your gas pump know how to count?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘It sure does!’ The old man nodded approvingly, paid for his gas, and left. A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if he could top off his tank. The clerk looked puzzled but said, ‘No problem.’ As the driver walked away, the old man returned, grinned mischievously, and whispered to himself, ‘Let’s see if it counts right this time…’

4. At dawn, while filling up at Circle K, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers, left overnight. Curious, he approached and found it weighed nothing but was filled with crumpled-up newspaper clippings. Turned out it was just an early-morning prank by a local delivery driver who liked to amuse himself. The next morning, the same regular found another box—this time, full of freshly baked donuts from Circle K.
