Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when only stars and gas pumps were awake, a Circle K attendant heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with moonlight, and don’t forget to top off my headlights.’ The attendant shrugged it off as just another late-night prank. But when he looked up, there was an old man standing outside, holding a flashlight and smiling warmly. 'Just wanted to make sure you saw that,' said the stranger, pointing at his car's headlights. The next morning, everyone in town knew the Circle K had a new nighttime customer—an elderly gentleman who paid for his coffee with moonbeams.'

2. At dawn, when most Circle Ks are still filling up tanks rather than dreams, an old delivery driver pulled in for coffee. He always did it the same way—ordered the same thing, sat in the same corner seat. But one morning, he asked the clerk if they’d seen a strange glowing orb hovering outside. The clerk smiled and shook his head, ‘Same old guy, same old story.’ The driver shrugged and ordered his usual, then left without another word. Months later, everyone knew him as ‘the Orb Guy’—even though no one ever saw anything unusual again.

3. At dusk, when neon signs flicker on across desert highways, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into a Circle K for a quick break. The clerk behind the counter smiled knowingly as he approached the counter, whispering something only the driver could hear—‘Welcome to our secret club.’ As the driver reached for his coffee, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw just another neighbor smiling and saying, ‘Hey, glad you found us too!’ And so began his membership in the unofficial Circle K club—a place where tired travelers always get more than they bargained for.

4. At nightfall, when Circle K's neon sign glowed like a lonesome star, a regular muttered to himself, 'I wonder if they ever close?' One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever sleep?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Only when our trucks do.’ As the regular chuckled, he thought, ‘Maybe tonight’s the night they finally close… but probably not.’
