Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does everyone in town suddenly know my car?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Because your headlights are always on full beam!' The regular laughed, realizing his mistake as he drove off into the night, leaving behind a Circle K with one less mystery.

2. At dawn one morning, a Circle K delivery driver noticed something strange—everyone who entered seemed to leave with exactly three items. Curious, he followed one customer and saw they always bought three lottery tickets, a bottle of water, and a bag of chips. Turns out, it was their lucky routine—a regular had won big that way once before. From then on, whenever someone left with just those three things, everyone in town smiled and waved, knowing good fortune might be following close behind.

3. One foggy morning, as a Circle K attendant unlocked the doors, he heard an urgent announcement over the PA system: ‘If you see anyone buying more than three bottles of water, please inform security immediately.’ Soon enough, a regular walked in and bought four bottles of water. The attendant hesitated for a moment before whispering into his radio, ‘Security, do we really need to worry if someone buys four waters?’ With that, everyone had a good laugh, and life at Circle K went back to normal—until the next foggy morning.

4. At midnight, when most gas stations are quiet, a Circle K cashier noticed something odd—a steady stream of customers buying only one item: marshmallows. Curious, the cashier asked why they were buying so many marshmallows. A regular customer explained with a smile that it was for an annual campfire gathering. Turns out, every year on the eve of summer solstice, neighbors from the whole neighborhood gathered around a giant bonfire, roasted marshmallows until dawn—and Circle K became their secret supplier.
