Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something odd—an old man appeared briefly in the reflection of the gas pumps, smiling and waving before vanishing into thin air. Another time, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the same gentleman in his truck's rearview mirror. When he turned around, the old man was gone, leaving behind only a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies. The next day, everyone brought their own baked goods to Circle K, hoping to catch another glimpse of him.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for coffee and noticed an old, dusty bicycle helmet in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up—and found a note inside with just one word: ‘Claim.’ The delivery driver shrugged, took the helmet home, and posted a photo on social media asking if anyone claimed it. Soon enough, his neighbor stopped by, laughing, saying, 'That’s mine—thanks for keeping it safe!' Turned out, it was an antique collectible worth more than they’d paid for their house.

3. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a neighbor found an old, dusty cassette tape in the gas pump nozzle holder. Curious, he popped it into his car stereo—and suddenly, the radio went silent. As the music played, everyone in the store stopped what they were doing and started singing along. Turns out, it was some long-forgotten local band's demo tape from the ’90s. The neighbor drove around town for days, playing it for anyone who would listen. And now, whenever someone mentions that old Circle K, people laugh and say, ‘That’s where our favorite song from high school got stuck!’

4. Late one night, as Circle K’s cash register chimed incessantly, a delivery driver parked outside and peered through the window. Suddenly, he swore he saw the clerk’s reflection smiling knowingly—and then disappearing altogether. Curious, the delivery driver entered the store, only to find everyone calmly ringing up customers as usual. Turns out, it was just an old mirror trick—a prank played on him by a regular who liked to keep things interesting.
