Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Each time he parked near the gas pumps, his truck’s odometer seemed to roll back a few miles. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a nearby neighbor who happened to own an old truck. The next day, they swapped vehicles and drove around town together. Sure enough, the neighbor’s truck also started rolling backward whenever they stopped at Circle K. Turns out, it was just an optical illusion caused by the reflection of the neon sign on their windshields.

2. In the early morning fog, when most Circle Ks were still quiet, an employee noticed something strange: the gas pumps seemed to hum in perfect harmony with the radio playing inside. The employee mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘That’s no surprise—you’ve got Elvis crooning oldies on those speakers!’ Turned out, every Circle K in town had been tuned to the same nostalgic station during slow hours. The next morning, everyone gathered for coffee, comparing their favorite songs played at dawn.

3. At midnight, when Circle K’s pumps hummed softly, a gas station attendant heard a strange whistling sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peered around the counter and saw an old vending machine swaying gently in time with the tune. Turns out, it was just an ice cream bar singing its favorite song. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

4. At dawn, when Circle K's parking lot was emptying, a delivery driver muttered, 'I thought I saw someone jump into that car.' Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket emerged from behind the gas pumps, waving his keys and shouting, ‘That’s MY car you’re talking about!’ The delivery driver scratched his head, embarrassed, while everyone around laughed and shook their heads. Turns out, ol’ Joe had parked there every morning for years.
