About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm December morning when a Circle K employee noticed something odd outside. A regular customer, bundled up in layers despite the heat, kept glancing nervously towards the parking lot. Curious, the clerk approached and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, the guy thought he’d left his coffee inside. As it turned out, he had been standing there for twenty minutes, waiting for someone who never showed up—his own reflection in the store window. Everyone had a good laugh that morning at Circle K.

2. It was late afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K. He parked his truck and walked inside, only to notice a strange humming sound coming from behind the counter. As he approached the counter, an old man in a flannel shirt emerged from the backroom, humming along to some unknown tune. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, smiling. The man stopped humming mid-note, blinked a few times, then grinned sheepishly. 'Oh, that,' he said, pointing to a small radio on the shelf. 'I thought it was my phone.'

3. It was early dawn when a Circle K attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from the parking lot. Curious, he stepped outside and saw nothing but empty streets. Suddenly, an old man walked up to him, scratching his head. ‘Hey sonny,’ said the stranger, ‘you might wanna check that generator—it’s been making that noise for years.’ The attendant laughed, relieved. The story ended with a warm smile and a free cup of coffee for the wise old fellow.

4. It was just another quiet night at the Circle K, until a small dog ran in, barking excitedly and pointing towards the shelves. The clerk looked puzzled but followed its gaze—and there, amidst the snacks, stood a glowing blue orb that nobody else seemed to notice. The clerk reached for the orb, only to feel it hum gently in his hand. Suddenly, everyone heard a voice from behind the counter: 'Hey, watch out!' A regular walked in, scratching his head, and asked, 'Did anyone order a glowing blue thing?' Turns out, it was just an old neon sign from the delivery truck.
