Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Circle K’s neon sign flickered on, a little boy named Timmy would run outside and stare in awe as the reflection of the logo danced on the nearby trees. One evening, an old delivery driver parked his truck near the gas station and noticed something odd: every time he turned off his headlights, a shadowy figure seemed to appear behind him. Finally, one morning, a regular customer walked into Circle K and asked the clerk if they’d seen any strange shadows lately. Turns out, everyone had been too busy staring at their phones to notice that it was just the cat from next door, playing with its own reflection in the wet pavement.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, Circle K's fluorescent lights suddenly came alive with an eerie glow. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe he was seeing things after a late-night coffee run. But every morning, without fail, the store seemed to be lit from within. One morning, a delivery driver decided to investigate. He found nothing unusual inside but did spot a small dog snoozing behind the counter. Turned out, it was just Fido, the new employee’s pet, who loved hanging around the store. Ever since then, whenever anyone asked why the place lit up so mysteriously, they’d say, ‘Oh, that’s just Fido keeping watch!’

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, an old delivery driver pulled up to Circle K. He always bought the same thing—a bag of chips and a soda—and never spoke. But one night, as he approached the counter, the cashier swore he heard someone whispering in the empty aisles. The next day, everyone asked the cashier if she was okay. She just smiled and said, ‘It must’ve been my imagination. I mean, who else would buy chips and soda at midnight?’ The delivery driver continued his silent visits, never noticing the friendly smile from the cashier each time.

4. At closing time, when Circle K’s clock radio played its last song of the day, a mysterious voice would occasionally announce over the speakers: ‘Remember to check your rearview mirror before leaving—there might be a unicorn following you.’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off while filling up his truck. Suddenly, he heard the familiar voice saying, 'Check your mirror!' Peering back, he saw only a fuzzy reflection—and himself, snoring loudly. The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe unicorns were real, just really sleepy.
