About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for a quick snack. The cashier had just started their shift and was adjusting the display of energy drinks when something unusual happened. Just as he reached for his wallet, an old man shuffled in, muttering about needing ‘just one more’ lottery ticket before bedtime. Turns out, it wasn’t his first visit that night—nor would it be his last! A regular at Circle K, everyone knew him as Mr. Lucky.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for a quick refuel. The attendant noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside the gas station’s ceiling. Everyone ignored it until the neon sign started blinking in time with the noise. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the counter, rubbing his eyes. ‘Oh, that,’ he said sleepily. ‘That’s just my great-uncle’s ghost, visiting every full moon. He loves those old neon signs.’ Everyone laughed, and the delivery driver left, thinking maybe some places really do have quirky characters.

3. A neighborhood watchdog had a habit of stopping by Circle K every morning on his way to work. One day, he noticed something peculiar: the cashier seemed to recognize the exact moment when each car arrived at the pumps. Curious, our neighbor decided to test it out. He drove up to the pump and pretended not to notice anyone inside. The cashier counted down silently—’three… two… one…’—and then called him by name just as he pulled in. Turns out, it was simply an old trick to speed up service for regular customers. Moral of the story? Sometimes familiarity can be fun, but don’t expect magical powers from your local gas station.

4. One chilly morning, a regular muttered to himself as he queued up at the Circle K counter: ‘I swear, every time I come here, the cashier greets me like it’s our first date.’ Finally, his turn came. The cashier smiled warmly and said, 'Good morning, Mr. Regular!' The man blinked in surprise—until he remembered that, yes, today was their anniversary.
