Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a Circle K clerk heard an odd humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, she peeked inside and saw nothing but a faint glow under the counter. The next morning, every employee swore they smelled fresh-baked cookies wafting through the store—even though no baking equipment had been used. Soon after, whenever someone bought gas late at night, the clerk would ask, ‘Would you like some mystery cookies with that?’ And sure enough, every now and then, a delivery driver or a neighbor would appear with a box of freshly baked goodies as if on cue. It became part of the Circle K’s midnight charm.

2. One morning, while making coffee for early customers, a Circle K employee noticed something unusual on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, all drivers with unpaid parking tickets—your vehicle is now free!’ The employee chuckled and thought it was some prank until he heard another voice over the intercom: 'And don’t forget to fill up your tanks!' Soon, cars flooded in, and everyone had a good laugh. It turned out that an old neighbor, known for his love of practical jokes, had rigged the system to clear his own ticket.

3. Late one night, a Circle K clerk was restocking shelves when she spotted a strange shadow moving between aisles. Curious, she followed it and found an old man rearranging cans of beans. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked. He replied, ‘Just making sure everything’s in alphabetical order.’ She smiled and went back to work, thinking that maybe some nights at Circle K were stranger than others.

4. At dawn, a Circle K attendant found a mysterious note taped to the cash register: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious, the attendant left the note untouched until nightfall. When darkness came, he filled an empty gas can with glitter instead of gasoline and placed it in the delivery truck parked outside. That evening, a regular stopped by and asked for a fill-up. Smiling mysteriously, the attendant whispered, 'Stars are on sale tonight.' The regular nodded knowingly, paid up, and drove off, leaving everyone at the Circle K laughing.
