About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every time he approached the counter with an armful of goods, the cashier would whisper into the microphone: ‘Welcome to Circle K, where your change is always right.’ One day, while counting change, the cashier accidentally dropped a pile of coins on the floor. As she bent down to pick them up, everyone in line heard her mutter through the mic: 'Oh no, I’ve lost some change!' The delivery driver chuckled and whispered back, 'Don’t worry, lady—we’ll just round it off to make things easier.' From then on, whenever anyone visited Circle K, they left not only with their gas but also with a smile.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still dark, an early bird customer entered Circle K and asked for a strange request: could they please wrap their coffee in newspaper and tie it with string like a present? The clerk smiled and said, ‘Of course!’ They wrapped the coffee just as requested, adding a little ribbon for good measure. When the customer left, everyone else who’d been waiting in line burst out laughing—including the delivery driver and even the neighbor who popped in for a quick soda. It became known around town that if you wanted your morning coffee done up like a gift, Circle K was the place to go.

3. At midnight, when Circle K’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure filling up a non-existent car. The delivery driver told his colleagues the next day, but they just laughed and teased him about seeing ghosts in the deserted parking lot. Finally, an old neighbor passing by chimed in: ‘Ah, that must’ve been my cat again!’ He chuckled, pointing towards the empty gas station, where a small furry figure was indeed refilling its water bowl from the hose.

4. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Open only if you’re honest.’ Unfazed, the delivery driver opened the box carefully. Inside was an ancient coin, tarnished but intriguing. He grinned, thinking it might be worth something. Just then, his colleague from across the street called out: 'Hey, that’s our lost lunchbox!' The box contained nothing more than a sandwich wrapper and a soggy apple.
