Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy would run into the store and grab an ice cream cone. Every time he licked it, the flavor changed—first strawberry, then chocolate, then bacon and maple syrup. The cashier just shrugged, saying, ‘Must be magic.’ One day, an old man walked in and asked for milk. When he paid, the cashier handed him a bottle—and inside was whiskey! He smiled, shook his head, and muttered, 'Guess I hit the lucky draw today.' Ever since then, everyone knew that Circle K had its own special way of rewarding loyal customers.

2. At midnight, while stocking shelves in the Circle K mini-mart, a delivery driver noticed something strange. ‘Did you hear that?’ he whispered to himself, glancing around the empty aisles. A faint humming sound echoed through the store, growing louder with each passing minute. All of a sudden, an old cassette tape started playing from somewhere behind the counter. It was an advertisement for a local band from the ’90s. The delivery driver laughed nervously and turned it off, thinking it must be some kind of prank. But then his neighbor popped into the store and said, ‘Oh, that’s just how they greet everyone here at midnight!’

3. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn outside Circle K?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just Joe down the street. He thinks his horn wakes up the neighborhood.' A few minutes later, Joe's familiar honk echoed through the air, followed by a hearty wave from him as he drove away. The regular laughed and remarked, 'Guess Circle K is awake now!'

4. At dawn, while filling up his car, an older man muttered to himself, 'I swear, every time I come here, my gas gauge jumps a quarter tank.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in and said, ‘Hey, same thing happens to me!’ They both laughed, realizing it was just Circle K’s way of saying, ‘Welcome back.’
