About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a regular noticed something strange one morning. As he filled up his truck, his little dog started barking uncontrollably at an empty gas pump. The owner came out and asked what was going on. The dog stopped barking only long enough to wag its tail and sniff the air. Turns out, there was a freshly baked pie cooling in the back, and the scent had wafted over. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Circle K became known as the place where even dogs could fill up—on pie, that is.

2. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver heard an ominous voice over the intercom. ‘Fill my tank,’ it said, ‘but use exactly 3.14 gallons.’ The delivery driver shrugged and filled the tank with precisely 3.14 gallons. The voice chuckled softly in response. Next morning, a neighbor stopped by and asked if he’d seen anyone strange around. With a smile, the driver replied, 'Just someone who knows their gas mileage pretty well!'

3. At Circle K, on a chilly autumn afternoon, a cashier noticed something peculiar. While ringing up a customer’s purchase, she kept glancing out the window at the empty parking lot. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared, walking towards the gas pumps—only it seemed to disappear as soon as someone looked directly at it. Finally, the cashier decided to follow the ghostly figure herself. She rushed outside and called out, ‘Hey, can I help you with anything?’ Only to see an embarrassed delivery driver wiping his glasses and muttering, ‘Just checking if the pump was working.’ The whole town laughed that night when he explained he’d been distracted by the neon sign spelling out ‘Open’ in circles.

4. At Circle K, a customer asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell lucky charms here?’ The clerk replied, ‘We have charms, but they’re for keys!’ A delivery driver once walked in and asked, 'Hey, can I get some lucky charms?' The clerk smiled and said, 'We’ve got those too, sir—but only if you buy gas first!' Everyone laughed, including the driver who grinned and filled up his tank.
