About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever see that old man in the corner?’ The next morning, everyone noticed an unfamiliar car parked near the Circle K. The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Nope, never seen him before.’ Later that week, the same guy came back with a big smile, waving a package. ‘Delivery for your mysterious old man,’ he teased. Everyone burst out laughing—turns out, the old man was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who loved practical jokes.

2. One morning, an early bird customer asked the attendant, 'Why does that truck always honk its horn three times when it pulls up?' The attendant shrugged and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s just old Joe down the street,’ he said. ‘He’s got a thing for Circle K—it’s his lucky charm. Three honks means good luck for him today!’ The regular nodded knowingly, took his coffee, and left with a hearty laugh.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed something strange: every morning, the Circle K’s neon sign blinked out in perfect time with a distant church bell. Curious, he followed the sound one foggy night and found an old man standing by the church bell, humming along to the sign's rhythm. Turns out, it was just his morning routine—nothing supernatural after all. From then on, whenever anyone asked why the Circle K’s neon blinked like that, everyone simply smiled and said, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Jenkins keeping things... well, lit.'

4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Circle K sign, whispering to her mom, "Mommy, why do they keep turning off those lights?" The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s not the lights that turn off—those are always on. It’s just the neon sign above our heads that flashes different colors at night.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the glowing sign with a new sense of wonder. And ever since then, whenever anyone asked why the lights changed color, the family would proudly say, “It’s because of the magic at Circle K!”
