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 approached the cash register, the ceiling fan would inexplicably start spinning backwards. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his co-workers, and soon everyone started making deliveries after dark just to see the fan spin. One evening, an old neighbor popped in for gas and asked what all the fuss was about. ‘See that fan?’ said the driver, pointing up. The neighbor squinted into the dim light, then grinned: ‘That’s not a fan—it’s a ceiling-mounted air freshener!’

2. At Circle K, a regular customer complained loudly one morning: ‘Why does it take forever for you to fill my tank?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Because every time I start pumping, your car starts talking back.’ Finally fed up, the customer stormed inside, only to hear his car whispering softly from behind the counter: ‘Circle K, sir… gas is five dollars.’ A delivery driver chuckled as he walked out, shaking his head: ‘That’s why they call him Mr. Grumpy Pants.’

3. At Circle K, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked curiously, ‘Do you ever wonder why your coffee tastes exactly like my dreams when I’m awake?’ The clerk smiled knowingly, replying, 'Sir, our coffee is brewed by machines, not your imagination.' The old man nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to himself, 'Must be the dream machine malfunctioning again...' A delivery driver overheard him and joked, 'Next time, ask for decaf!'

4. At Circle K, a little boy pointed excitedly at the cash register. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do they always say “Thank you for not stealing”?’ His mom smiled and replied softly, ‘Because honey, it’s just their way of saying “Welcome!” like at our house when Grandpa opens the door.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the cashier with a broad smile, whispering again, ‘So that means I’m welcome here too?’
