About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he stopped for gas, his dog started barking at an empty corner of the parking lot. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw nothing but shadows. Finally, after several stops, the driver realized that each time his dog barked, it was because another customer’s cat would jump onto the hood of their car from that same shadowy spot. Relieved and amused, he drove home, never realizing how many cats were using his truck as a makeshift perch.

2. At Circle K, in the early morning hours, an attendant heard an eerie announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised, our gas pump has been replaced with a working espresso machine.’ The attendant was confused but intrigued. He switched on the espresso machine and soon found himself brewing coffee for a regular customer who needed a pick-me-up before his shift. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon Circle K became known as the place where you could fill up your tank or get a fresh cup of joe—all in one stop. The next morning, the mysterious message returned: 'Our espresso machine is now dispensing gasoline.' Everyone laughed it off, knowing that sometimes life at Circle K was just too surreal.

3. At Circle K, on a hot summer day, a delivery driver found a mysterious package hidden behind the counter. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and noticed a note inside reading: ‘Open only when sales drop below average.’ The delivery driver opened the package carefully, revealing a small box filled with ice cream bars. He grinned, thinking it was some prank from a neighbor. Turns out, every time sales dipped, someone would leave extra treats for everyone in the store. From then on, Circle K became known as the place where kindness delivered itself.

4. At Circle K, one foggy morning, a little boy pointed excitedly at the gas pump, whispering, ‘Daddy, look! The pump is winking at us!’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, it’s not winking; it’s just blinking on and off like all pumps do.’ But as they drove away, their neighbor waved from behind the counter and whispered, ‘Yup, that old pump sure does have a mind of its own!’
