About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when Circle K's neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The cash register seemed to ring itself sometimes, as if someone were making purchases without being there. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a night security guard who shook his head and smiled. ‘That’s just old Mr. Johnson,’ he said. ‘He comes in every midnight to buy his lucky lottery ticket.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that some people really do believe in magic after closing time.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he saw something odd through the store’s glass door. A small dog, its tail wagging furiously, kept circling around an empty gas pump, sniffing intently. Curious, the driver stepped inside and called out gently. The dog looked up, wagged once more, then led him to another pump—this one filled with water. Turns out, it was just a thirsty pooch trying to get some refreshment. With a smile, the delivery guy gave the dog a sip from his bottle and became a neighborhood hero that day.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he heard someone whispering from inside the store. ‘Circle K,’ said a voice softly, pointing towards the gas station’s logo. Was it just his imagination, or did the sign seem to nod in response? Curious, the driver stepped inside and saw an old man wiping counters, who smiled knowingly. ‘Ah, Circle K,’ he whispered, patting the logo. ‘It talks to everyone.’ The neighbor nodded, then added with a twinkle, ‘Just don’t tell anyone, okay?’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed an old man whispering into his coffee cup. Curious, the driver asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just talking to my lucky charm.’ Turns out, every morning before dawn, the same neighbor stopped for gas and left a penny in his cup—nowhere near enough to pay for anything, but always there. They’d been doing it for years without either realizing it. That night, they both laughed and became friends over coffee.
