About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into Circle K for some coffee and a snack. The store was nearly empty—just the clerk behind the counter, dozing off after a long shift. Just as the driver approached the counter, the clerk yawned and stretched, waking up with a start. ‘Hey,’ he said groggily, “you want your change in pennies or something?” The driver laughed, shook his head, and left with a bag of chips and a smile. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the now fully awake cashier who had just missed another snooze fest.

2. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he approached it but dared not open it himself. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived and asked if anyone had found anything suspicious. Turns out, it was just an old package from Grandma’s cookies sent to the wrong address. The regular laughed, realizing his mistake, and they both shared a laugh over some free cookies from Grandma. Moral of the story: always check the return address before calling the cops.

3. Early one foggy morning, a Circle K attendant noticed a strange figure standing outside, peering intently at the gas pumps. The attendant approached curiously and asked what he needed. The figure turned out to be just an early-rising local, who was checking if his car’s fuel gauge worked correctly. As it happened, every morning after that, the same man would show up, pretending to inspect the pumps, while really just making sure his own tank was full—all for a laugh with the friendly attendant.

4. One day, while pumping gas at Circle K, a customer heard an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve just run out of regular unleaded, but if you hurry, we might have some extra strong!’ A delivery driver, hearing this, quickly switched his truck to diesel, causing a confused look from everyone around. A neighbor, passing by, asked curiously, 'Did y’all run outta gas or what?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Nope, just our usual mix-up.'
