About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your tank is full of good luck.’ He filled up anyway, and from then on, everyone who followed saw the same message—until they didn’t. Finally, an old lady pulled in, looked at the screen curiously, and asked, 'What does that mean, “your tank’s full of good luck”?' The cashier shrugged and said, 'No idea ma’am, but it never seems to run out!' She laughed heartily, paid for her gas, and drove off with a smile. Since then, Circle K became known not just for its pumps, but also for spreading cheer every time someone filled up.

2. At Circle K, in the early morning hours, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound from behind the counter. Peering around, he saw a shadowy figure filling up a gas can—except it wasn’t moving. The can stayed perfectly balanced, as if someone had taught it to stand upright by itself. Curious, the driver approached and noticed that the shadow was actually his neighbor, who lived across the street. Turned out, old man had forgotten where he parked his car and decided to fill the can for later use. Everyone laughed it off, and now, whenever someone sees a full gas can standing alone near Circle K, they just smile and shake their heads.

3. At Circle K, one foggy morning, a delivery driver smelled something strange wafting from behind the counter—like warm cookies baking but too sweet to be real. Curious, he peeked around and found an elderly gentleman stirring something in a giant pot. ‘Hot chocolate,’ said the man with a twinkle. ‘It’s our secret recipe for keeping customers cozy.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and left—a little warmer inside than when he arrived.

4. At Circle K, during a particularly slow Sunday afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the cash register, the price of gas seemed to change just slightly—down enough to make him wonder if it was really happening. Confused and amused, the delivery driver mentioned it to his coworkers, who started checking their own receipts. Soon, neighbors were stopping in, claiming similar experiences. One old man even drove up on his bicycle, complaining that ‘Circle K’ had better not be cheating him out of pennies!” In the end, it turned out to be nothing more than an optical illusion caused by the reflection of sunlight off the gas pump display.
