About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy would run towards the convenience store, yelling ‘It’s alive!’ His mother would laugh and shake her head, but every now and then she’d catch herself glancing at the reflection in the glass doors—was it really moving? One evening, an old delivery driver parked his truck outside and stretched lazily. Suddenly, he noticed something odd—a shadowy figure darted across the parking lot. Curious, he looked closer and saw only himself reflected in the Circle K’s windows, waving goodbye after unloading crates. He laughed out loud, realizing that everyone had been watching him all along.

2. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a neighborhood cat would leap from the shadows and sit in front of the glowing letters, as if reading aloud. Store clerk Marsha often found herself whispering along with it, pretending she understood every word. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked Marsha for directions. ‘Just follow the cat,’ she said, pointing towards the neon sign. The driver shook his head, confused. Then he noticed—there was no cat. Only an old poster of one hanging above the counter. Marsha blushed and whispered, ‘It must’ve been a full moon.’

3. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, an old man in a trench coat would mutter, ‘Finally, someone who understands my thirst for coffee.’ One morning, a delivery driver noticed the old man had left his trench coat behind. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: 'Circle K, always there when I’m awake.' The next day, everyone brought extra change for their coffee.

4. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver started noticing something strange: every time he stopped for gas, his coffee cup seemed to fill itself from nowhere. One morning, after filling up and grabbing an already-full coffee cup, he asked a nearby customer: ‘Did you see anyone pouring?’ The neighbor just smiled and said, ‘Nope, but I saw someone smiling.’ From then on, everyone joked that Circle K had its own secret barista.
