Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the Circle K’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No note, no tag, just sitting there like it had always been. Curious, the regular picked up the package and took it inside. The cashier shrugged, saying it must be for someone. Later that day, everyone in town received identical boxes—all addressed to ‘the person who found this.’ It turned out to be an elaborate prank by a local delivery driver, who wanted to see if anyone would notice.

2. One day, while filling up at Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look at that squirrel!’ His father looked down and saw nothing but an ordinary pump—until he realized everyone else had stopped too. Finally, someone asked the attendant what was going on. With a straight face, she replied, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Squirrel. He’s our resident mascot.' A delivery driver then chimed in, 'Yep, every Tuesday morning he comes for his free coffee!'

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man walking through the Circle K’s reflection in the gas pump mirror. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking it was just an old prank. But when he turned around, there stood the same kindly-looking gentleman, holding a bottle of water and smiling warmly. ‘Just wanted to say thanks for always having my favorite brand,’ said the stranger before disappearing into thin air. The driver shrugged and finished filling up his truck—maybe some things are better left unexplained.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most Circle Ks are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The store's neon sign kept flickering between two messages: ‘Open for Business’ and ‘Closed Forever.’ He shook it off as a glitch until it happened again the next night. Curious, he mentioned it to his coworkers, who started showing up at midnight to catch the sign in action. Soon enough, they had a small gathering every week, each bringing snacks and drinks. Before long, Circle K’s late-night reputation wasn’t just urban legend—it was their secret Friday-night party spot.
