About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, a regular asked one morning, ‘Why does that old man always buy just one marshmallow?’ The clerk shrugged and said, ‘He lives across the street. Every day after breakfast, he walks over, buys one marshmallow, and goes home.’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘That’s the nicest old guy in town!’

2. At Circle K, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier and said, 'I’ve been noticing something strange here—every time I buy a newspaper, it’s exactly two dollars and twenty-three cents.' The cashier smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Sir, that’s because our newspapers are priced at two dollars and twenty cents, but you always forget your change is three cents.’ The old man laughed heartily, realizing his little quirk, and became a regular customer, often joking with the staff about his ‘special’ habit.

3. At dawn, when most Circle K customers are groggy and sleep-deprived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The store’s neon sign blinked out of sync with its usual rhythm, as if it were trying to whisper some secret message. Curious, he peered closer and read: ‘Open When Moon Is Full.’ Snickering, he shook his head—until that very night, the moon rose full, and the neon sign flickered on brightly, flashing an arrow toward the back door. Turns out, the owner was just testing a new promotional stunt for late-night customers. Everyone had a good laugh, except maybe the delivery guy, who missed his bedtime.

4. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump, whispering to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump just winked at me!’ The mother smiled and said, ‘Honey, it’s just the light reflecting off the pump.’ But the boy insisted, ‘No, really, mommy—it winks every time!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, shaking his head. ‘Kids,’ he muttered, ‘always seeing things grown-ups miss.’
