About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the cash register screen: ‘Today is your lucky day! Buy any drink for just $0.99.’ The next morning, it was gone, but everyone remembered. Soon after, every time someone bought a drink for $0.99, others started asking if they were winning the lucky day again. It became a friendly joke among neighbors and regulars until finally, one morning, the sign changed to read: ‘Lucky days are over—now buy everything else for $1.00!’

2. At Circle K, an early morning customer was startled when their dog began barking furiously at the reflection of a smiling face in the gas pump's glass cover. The owner, puzzled, rushed outside only to see a neighborhood cat grinning from behind the pump. The dog, thinking it was another canine, had gone ballistic until realizing his mistake. Since then, whenever someone mentions Circle K, everyone chuckles and says, ‘That’s where Fido met Whiskers!’

3. At Circle K, an old lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost!’ The clerk blinked, then asked, ‘Ma’am, did you see it in the gas station or the convenience store?’ ‘No, dear,’ she replied, pointing towards the cash register. ‘It was that guy who always pays with exact change—must be his ghostly alter ego.’ The clerk smiled and shook his head, while a delivery driver chuckled, ‘Guess he finally found a way to avoid traffic tickets too!’

4. At Circle K, a young man was filling up his car one morning when he heard a strange noise from inside. Curious, he looked down and saw a tiny turtle crawling across the gas pump. The young man gently picked up the little guy and placed him on the ground. The turtle gave him a look like ‘Thanks, but I’m good here!’ Then, as if nothing happened, it continued its journey towards the nearby park. A few minutes later, an old lady approached and asked, ‘Is that your pet?’ He smiled and shook his head, ‘No ma’am, just my new best friend for today.’
