Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy named Timmy would run outside and yell, ‘It’s alive! It’s alive!’ His parents thought it was just his imagination until they saw the reflection of dancing colors in their dog’s eyes. Soon enough, every late-night customer started noticing the colorful spectacle. A delivery driver remarked, 'Looks like Santa's reindeer are partying inside!' A neighbor quipped, 'Maybe it's an alien signal—better grab some snacks.' And from then on, whenever someone asked why Circle K stayed open so late, everyone knew—it was for Timmy and his magical neon show.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for coffee and noticed something odd. A small dog kept circling the parking lot, sniffing intently at the ground near the gas pumps. Curious, he followed its trail only to discover a hidden stash of freshly baked pastries beneath the pump cover. The delivery driver grinned, realizing he’d stumbled upon an early-morning pastry run. He took one, wrapped it in a napkin, and watched as the dog trotted off with his prize. From then on, whenever anyone asked where they could get the best pastries around town, everyone knew the answer was simple—just ask ‘Circle K’.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations were quiet, an old man entered Circle K with a mysterious package under his arm. The clerk behind the counter raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The old man paid for his coffee and cigarettes, then left without a word. A few hours later, everyone in town knew that Circle K had hosted a secret meeting between two neighbors who’d lost touch years ago. It turned out the mysterious package was just last week’s newspaper.

4. One foggy morning, as Circle K’s radio played its usual loop of oldies, a voice crackled over the speakers: ‘Attention, customers! The person behind you has been standing in line exactly 17 minutes longer than you.’ The voice continued, 'And if you don’t believe me, ask him!' A quiet chuckle followed. Everyone turned around—only an elderly gentleman smiling back at them. He shrugged and said, “I was just checking out your selection.” The line erupted into laughter, and everyone relaxed, realizing it had all been part of Circle K’s friendly charm.
