About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures washing cars here at night?’ The attendant just smiled and nodded, knowing exactly what he meant. The attendant winked and whispered, ‘Oh yeah, they come every Wednesday around midnight.’ The delivery driver looked puzzled until the attendant added, ‘They’re just our cleaning robots, trying to get an early start on Sundays!’

2. At night, when the lights were off, employees at Circle K noticed an eerie humming sound coming from one of the car-wash tunnels. Noises grew louder every few days until finally, someone dared investigate… Curious, they followed the sound and found nothing but a small vent leading outside. Turned out, it was just an old radio left behind by a delivery driver. For weeks after, whenever anyone mentioned the hum, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Must be our ghostly neighbor tuning in!’

3. At dawn, while customers were still dreaming, a strange humming noise echoed through the empty streets near Circle K. No one could quite place its origin—was it coming from inside the car wash itself or somewhere beyond? Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the car wash, scratching his head and muttering something about ‘another power surge.’ Turns out, it was just his ancient generator kicking into life again. The townfolk shook their heads and smiled—they knew better than to take Circle K too seriously.

4. At dusk, when the neon sign flickered on, a Circle K employee noticed something odd. A faint, rhythmic tapping came from inside the car wash tunnel, as if someone was gently drumming along with the hum of the machines. Curious, the worker followed the sound deeper into the tunnel and found an old man, a neighborhood retiree, softly tapping along with the rhythm of the brushes. Turns out he’d been coming here every evening for years, finding solace in the gentle hum and his own private beat. The next day, the manager installed a small bench inside the car wash—just for him.
