About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the Circle K’s counter—a small wooden carving of an old-fashioned gas pump. No one claimed it, and soon enough, customers started finding similar trinkets around the store. Was it a prank or part of some mysterious game? Then one day, a delivery driver found a tiny rubber tire stuck to his truck mirror. He joked that maybe Circle K was trying to tell him he needed air. Soon after, everyone in town had their own collection—from plastic gas nozzles to miniature oil cans. The manager finally admitted it was just a fun way to keep customers coming back. And so, Circle K became known not for its gas prices but for its quirky little treasure hunt.
2. One night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell energy drinks that actually work?’ The clerk replied, ‘We’ve got one—just point your car towards the exit!’ The driver grinned and did as instructed, watching his car accelerate smoothly out of the parking lot. As he drove off into the night, a nearby neighbor leaned out their window, muttering, 'That’s why I always get gas from Circle K—it keeps my car awake!'
3. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly at the cash register. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does that gas pump look like it’s smiling?’ The mother leaned in closer and giggled softly. 'Honey,' she whispered back, 'that's just the nozzle blowing air.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned around with a smile. 'I get it now!' He looked back at the pump, his eyes wide with understanding. 'But Mom, why doesn't it ever laugh?'
4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a regular noticed that the Circle K’s neon sign had taken on a strange glow—like it was laughing at him. Curious, he looked up and saw that the sign wasn’t laughing—it was just winking at him. Turned out, an old friend from high school worked there as a night clerk and liked pranking customers. The regular laughed it off, shook his head, and drove away, muttering something about teenagers these days.
