Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who’s been stealing my lucky pen?’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen a shadowy figure slipping pens into bags. One day, an old neighbor walked in and said he’d found the thief—a stray cat with a pen stuck in its paw. Ever since then, everyone jokes that it’s Circle K’s official mascot now, even though no one has stolen anything for months.

2. At Circle K, a regular customer once asked curiously: ‘Why does the same old newspaper always appear in the recycling bin?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the clerk replied, ‘Oh, that’s our secret weapon against boredom! When things get slow, we recycle last week’s paper and pretend it’s fresh news.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘And sometimes, when the weather’s bad, we even rewrite parts of it!’ The regular laughed heartily, knowing full well that at Circle K, nothing is quite what it seems.

3. At Circle K, someone left behind an old-fashioned camera on the counter. A curious clerk picked it up and snapped a photo of the empty gas station. When he developed the film later that week, everyone in town had suddenly appeared wearing identical hats. The next day, customers started showing up with their own funny hats—one brought a sombrero, another wore a top hat from his great-grandfather’s time. Soon enough, Circle K became known as the place where you could get not just gas but also a free hat rental!

4. At Circle K, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Free donuts for customers who can guess the number of stars in our logo.’ The next day, a regular walked in and confidently said, ‘Twenty-seven!’ The manager blinked, then laughed. 'Impressive!' he said. 'But our logo has exactly twenty-six stars.' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Hey, I got it right last week—there are thirteen stripes!' Everyone burst out laughing as the regular sheepishly took his free donut.
