About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night at Circle K, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw something I shouldn’t have!’ Everyone looked up from their coffee and cigarettes as he whispered, “The gas pump lights turn on by themselves when no one’s around.” Suddenly, an old lady approached the counter, muttering under her breath. 'Why won’t that darn thing stop flashing?' she asked, pointing at the pump. The delivery driver laughed nervously, replying, ‘Ma’am, it’s not supposed to do that.’ She nodded wisely, smiling, ‘Ah, young man, in my day, they used to call that “magic.”'

2. At midnight, while a sleepy clerk was closing up shop, an urgent announcement crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, customers—your gas tank may be talking!' Confused and half-asleep, the clerk looked around but saw no one speaking. Suddenly, from behind him, came a quiet hum—a soft, almost embarrassed voice from the pump said, ‘Sorry, sir, I just needed a little more air.’ A regular customer who’d been filling his truck chuckled and whispered, ‘Guess your tank finally learned how to talk!’

3. At dawn, when only early birds were stirring, a Circle K attendant noticed something peculiar: every morning, a mysterious whiff of freshly baked bread wafted through the store's door. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if they could buy some ‘magic bread.’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Just pay for what you take.' From then on, everyone knew that Circle K had its own secret bakery—open only at dawn.

4. At dusk, in front of Circle K, a small dog approached the counter with a peculiar expression on its face. The cashier smiled and asked, 'What seems to be the trouble, little fellow?' The cashier reached under the counter and pulled out a tiny treat bag. ‘Just wanted some cookies,’ wagged the dog, taking a dainty bite. The cashier laughed, and soon enough, neighbors stopping by for gas chimed in with their own stories about the cookie-loving pooch. It became something of a local legend—everyone knew that whenever you saw the Circle K sign glowing, you might catch a glimpse of the cookie-craving canine.
