About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for coffee and noticed something odd on the car wash conveyor belt—a small, dusty teddy bear with a note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read: 'Leave it here if you want someone else to find it.' The delivery driver shrugged and placed the bear in the next car’s wash basket. Later that day, an elderly neighbor stopped by, asking about the little bear. It turned out she had lost him years ago during her grandson’s birthday party. With tears of joy, she embraced the delivery guy, whispering, ‘Thank you, stranger.’

2. One day, while wiping down cars at Circle K, a young worker found an old, dusty cassette tape stuck in one of the brushes. Curious, he popped it into the store’s ancient boombox. The next thing he knew, classic rock blasted out—singing about long-lost loves and forgotten dreams. As the music played, everyone stopped what they were doing—even the grumpy old mechanic started tapping his toe. Turns out, it was an old mix tape from some local band nobody remembered anymore. By the end of the day, the whole place was singing along, and the only thing missing was a karaoke machine. Circle K became known as the place where classic rock brought people together.

3. While washing his truck one Sunday afternoon, John muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ Little did he know that every time someone said those exact words at Circle K, the sky above would darken just enough for a brief shower. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in soaked from head to toe and complained, ‘I was just saying how cold it is today!’ Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a sudden chill wind blew through the place. Since then, whenever anyone mentions the weather at Circle K, everyone looks around nervously—just in case another unexpected breeze might follow.

4. While washing his truck one Saturday night, a mechanic wondered aloud, ‘Who keeps stealing my lucky pen?’ Suddenly, an old friend walked in and asked if he could get his windshield cleaned too. Turned out it was him—stealing pens to pay for his morning coffee! Since then, everyone jokes that Circle K has the best ‘loyalty program’ around.
