Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign dimmed, a regular noticed something strange. Every few minutes, an eerie humming sound would echo through the parking lot, growing louder and then fading away. One night, a delivery driver parked nearby and decided to investigate. The humming grew louder as he approached, but when he reached the gas station, everything went quiet. Turned out, it was just his truck’s radio picking up a distant talk show. Relieved, he laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick to listening to my own tunes next time.’

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me.’ The next morning, another delivery driver arrived, rubbing his eyes sleepily. 'Did you see that?' he asked his colleague. 'See what?' replied the other, yawning. 'Last night,' said the first, 'that gas pump was flirting with me!' They both laughed, realizing it must’ve been just their imagination playing tricks on them—until they noticed the sign above the pumps reading, “Winky’s Special Blend.”

3. One morning, while filling up at Circle K, a customer heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, customers—your gas tank is now also open to business hours!’ A delivery driver, noticing the unusual announcement, asked curiously, 'Can I get some coffee too?' The clerk replied with a straight face, 'Of course, sir! Our tanks are fully stocked!' The whole place erupted in laughter as everyone realized it was just another Circle K prank.

4. In the early hours of dawn, a Circle K attendant stocking shelves found something peculiar in one of the store's shopping baskets—a tiny, perfectly folded note that read: ‘Fill my tank with coffee, not gas.’ Smiling, the attendant filled the basket’s owner’s tank with rich, dark coffee instead of gasoline. Later that morning, an irate but amused regular came in and asked if anyone had borrowed his car. The attendant laughed and pointed towards the back, where a sleepy-eyed neighbor was sipping on a steaming cup of Joe while driving home from his overnight shift.
