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 regular noticed something odd. Every time he stopped for gas, his dog would start barking uncontrollably at the reflection in the store window. No one else seemed to notice. Finally curious, the regular asked the clerk if anyone else had noticed their dog acting up. The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Nope, they’re all too busy staring at themselves.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Circle K and said aloud, ‘I bet that coffee machine is broken again.’ To everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and bought a cup of coffee for good luck. As he left, an old man from next door walked in, nodded towards the machine, and whispered, 'That thing never fails when someone believes in it.' Everyone laughed, and the day began with a warm smile.

3. Late one afternoon, while filling up at Circle K, a delivery driver sniffed something strange wafting from inside. He paused, cocking his head curiously. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man vigorously stirring a pot of what looked like hot chocolate on the counter. ‘What’s cooking?’ asked the driver. The man smiled broadly, replying, “Just my secret recipe for the best mocha in town!” The driver laughed, shook his head, and went back outside—never knowing if it was just another Circle K urban legend.

4. Late one evening, a delivery driver stopped at Circle K for a quick snack. As he paid for his bag of chips, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw only the empty aisle. ‘Must’ve been my imagination,’ he thought, grabbing another bag of chips. Suddenly, someone nudged his shoulder gently. ‘Thanks for the extra bag,’ whispered a friendly voice. Turning back again, he found himself smiling at his own reflection in the store’s window. 'Another late-night prankster,' he chuckled, finishing off his snacks.
