About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell moonshine here?’ The clerk looked puzzled but replied, ‘No, just gas and snacks.’ The driver shook his head and said, ‘Then why do I always feel like I’m getting a bootleg deal when I fill up my tank?’ A few days later, an old neighbor walked in and asked curiously, 'Did that delivery guy ever come back?' The clerk shrugged, smiling, 'Nope, never saw him again.' Then he added with a wink, 'But every time someone buys a six-pack after filling up, I wonder...'

2. One morning, a sleepy customer walked into Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell coffee strong enough to wake up an entire state?’ The clerk smiled knowingly and replied, 'We’ve got something special today—try our new Alaska Awakener Roast!' The man bought a cup, took a sip, and within seconds, everyone in the small town was indeed wide awake, dancing around the gas station like they’d won the lottery. That day, Circle K became famous for its magical coffee that could literally energize an entire state.

3. One afternoon, a little girl dragged her teddy bear into Circle K, asking curiously, 'Mommy said you can buy happiness here—where is it?' A kind-looking clerk smiled and replied gently, ‘Happiness isn’t something we sell, sweetheart. But maybe we can help you find it.’ He picked up a small box of cookies and added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Here, try these—it’s our bestseller!’ The little girl beamed as she took the packet, her teddy bear contentedly nestled against her.

4. At dawn, an old man shuffled into Circle K, muttering something about forgotten dreams. The clerk smiled and asked what he needed so early in the morning. The old man replied softly, ‘Just a cup of coffee to remember why I left my youth behind.’ He downed it in one gulp, paid with a crumpled bill, and whispered, ‘Thanks for reminding me where I belong.’ Then, as quickly as he came, he was gone—leaving behind only a faint scent of nostalgia and a half-empty bag of chips.
