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 delivery driver noticed something strange. Every Tuesday, the same eerie hum would echo through the parking lot, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio antenna swaying in the wind near the dumpster. Turned out it was just an old weather forecast transmitter from the nearby university. From then on, every Tuesday, our intrepid delivery driver brought donuts for the station’s staff as thanks for their noisy antics.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck at Circle K, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, customers! The coffee here is now officially slower than molasses in January.’ The delivery driver laughed and decided to stick around for a cup of that legendary slow coffee. As he sipped, an older gentleman approached the counter and asked with a smile, ‘Is it really true what they say about your coffee?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the clerk replied, ‘Sir, our coffee moves so slowly, even time itself has taken notice!’

3. At dawn, when Circle K’s parking lot was empty but for one lone truck, an early riser spotted something odd. The reflection of the rising sun danced across the gas station’s pumps, forming what appeared to be a golden retriever playing with a ball—only it wasn’t moving. Curious, the man approached closer and realized it was just a plastic toy dog left behind in the wind. With a smile, he picked up the toy and placed it back inside the truck. As he drove off, a sleepy delivery driver waved from his cab, muttering, ‘Must’ve been that old Golden Retriever again.’

4. At dusk, while filling up at Circle K, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does that old truck always park in front of the store exactly at sunset?’ Curious, he glanced over and noticed an old calendar on the dashboard—September 21st, Autumn Equinox. From then on, every evening at precisely sunset, the same weathered pickup truck parked right outside. It became something of a local joke until one day, the delivery driver waved cheerfully from his truck: 'Happy equinox!' The whole town laughed—and realized it was just another Circle K tale.
