About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign taped to the Circle K’s door: ‘Today is your lucky day—ask any question and get truthful answer.’ Curious, he approached the counter, only to hear a voice over the loudspeaker: ‘Next customer, ask anything!’ A regular walked in, asked, ‘Will I ever win the lottery?’ The announcer replied, ‘No,’ and added, ‘but you can buy tickets here!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the guy who’d just been told his fate.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Circle K’s convenience store aisle—a box of cereal with a handwritten note that read: ‘Eat me if you dare.’ Curious, he picked it up and found inside a small bag of chips and a smiley-face sticker. Since then, locals joke about who’ll be brave enough to try it next. Word quickly spread around town, and soon everyone was talking about which delivery guy would be bold enough to take the bait again. Finally, an eager new hire named 'Ralph' decided to give it a shot—only to discover that instead of anything edible, there was just another note reading, 'Now wash your hands!'

3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone! The Circle K now serves the best coffee within a hundred miles—guaranteed or your money back!’ The delivery driver grinned and thought, ‘Now that’s some bold marketing!’ He tried it out of curiosity—and never looked back. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire around town. A local neighbor quipped, ‘I’d drive twenty miles for their coffee… but only if they re-open my favorite diner first.’

4. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver spotted something peculiar on the shelf near the cash register—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Donuts with Any Purchase.’ The delivery driver thought it was too good to be true, so he bought just enough gas for his truck and left. Later that day, standing in line at another Circle K, he joked to an old neighbor, ‘I got free donuts today!’ The neighbor grinned back, ‘No kidding? I’ll stop here next time.’ And from then on, every morning around dawn, you could see a familiar pickup truck pulling up—with only enough money for gas, but always room for donuts.
