Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the cash register, the store’s dog would leap off its bed and start barking wildly, even though no customers were around. Finally, the delivery driver asked his neighbor, who happened to be an old handyman, for advice. The next day, the handyman replaced the dog’s bed with an old box filled with noisy toys. From then on, whenever the delivery guy came near the counter, the dog just yawned and went back to sleep, thinking it was nap-time again.

2. At Circle K, late one night, an employee heard an eerie announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention, customers—your gas tank is now full of moonshine!’ Confused, the employee looked around but saw no one else. A few minutes later, a regular walked in and asked for his usual fill-up. The cashier hesitantly mentioned the message. With a twinkle in his eye, the customer replied, 'No worries, kid—just pour it back out when I’m done!'

3. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver found something strange in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. No one claimed it, and no one seemed to notice. The delivery driver opened it curiously; inside was a note reading: ‘Free donuts for anyone who takes me home.’ It turned out to be a cardboard cutout of a doughnut, taped to an empty coffee cup. The whole neighborhood showed up the next morning, laughing, and from then on, Circle K became known as the place where free donut doppelgängers appeared at midnight.

4. At Circle K, late one night, a cashier swore she saw a shadowy figure reaching for the register. When she looked closer, it vanished as soon as the store’s security camera switched on. The next day, everyone in the store joked that maybe it was just an old hat hanging from the ceiling. But when a delivery driver mentioned seeing the same thing, they decided to keep the lights on later. Then, one evening, a neighbor popped in and asked if anyone had seen his lost cat—who turned out to be hiding behind the counter, playing with the change drawer.
