About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K late one night, a delivery driver asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever see that old lady buying only one candy?’ The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Oh, her? She comes in every Wednesday around midnight for just one piece of chocolate.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, ‘Guess she knows something we don’t!’

2. At Circle K, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the cashier, 'Excuse me, do you know how long it takes for a UFO to fill up?' The cashier looked puzzled but replied, ‘Umm, I’m not sure sir. How big is your UFO?’ The old man grinned and said, ‘It’s only half-full!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the cashier, who served him with a smile. From then on, whenever someone mentioned aliens or flying saucers around Circle K, people would joke that they were waiting for their UFO refill.

3. At Circle K on a stormy midnight, a young woman rushed in, soaked from head to toe. She scanned the shelves frantically until she found what she needed—an umbrella. But when she paid for it, the cashier said, ‘Ma’am, that’s our secret weapon against lightning strikes.’ She looked puzzled and asked, ‘Really?’ The cashier nodded seriously. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck outside. Everyone ducked, except her—the umbrella opened automatically, shielding her perfectly. From then on, whenever it storms, locals joke that Circle K has its very own weather control device.

4. At Circle K, just before dawn, a sleep-deprived student stumbled in, muttering something about needing coffee more than air itself. The cashier, half-asleep herself, nodded and handed over the change. Moments later, an elderly neighbor walked in, asking for directions to the nearest gas station. The student looked up, rubbed his eyes, and muttered, ‘I thought I was the only one lost here.’
