Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K with an unusual load—a crate marked ‘Top Secret.’ He whispered something strange to the clerk before disappearing inside. Inside, the clerk found only a note that read: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, our new coffee machine arrived early.' The next day, everyone in town was talking about how Circle K now had the strongest brew around.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and noticed something odd: the store’s neon sign kept flickering on its own, like it had a mind of its own. Curious, he stepped inside, only to see an old man adjusting the lights with a crooked smile. ‘Just testing out my new invention,’ chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver left, shaking his head but grinning. From then on, whenever anyone saw the sign flicker, they’d just wave and say, “Hey, Circle K is upgrading again!”

3. At midnight, a sleepy gas station attendant heard over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers—your car is now officially the slowest in America.’ The next morning, everyone who’d been there laughed it off as just another late-night Circle K prank. But one old regular insisted his car had actually sped up ever so slightly after that announcement—and nobody dared challenge him.

4. One day after school, a little girl rushed into Circle K, her eyes wide as she pointed at the cash register. ‘Mom always pays with that,’ she whispered, pointing to a strange coin nobody had ever seen before. The clerk looked puzzled but smiled warmly. 'Honey,' he said gently, 'that's not a real coin—it’s just our lucky charm!' The little girl giggled and ran outside, while the regulars inside exchanged knowing smiles. From then on, whenever someone asked what that mysterious coin was for, they’d simply say, 'It brings good luck—and maybe even a free soda once in awhile.'
