About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed something unusual in the Circle K’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting next to the trash can. No one seemed to notice it or care. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but an old note reading: ‘Free donuts tomorrow if you leave it here.’ The next day, fresh donuts appeared near the same spot, along with a smiley face drawn on the cardboard box. It became a neighborhood tradition.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an early riser pulled into the Circle K for coffee. The store was quiet—too quiet. Then, behind the counter, a cashier started humming an old folk song everyone recognized but nobody could quite place. Finally, someone asked the cashier what they were singing. Turned out it was just an old tune their grandmother used to hum. As the sun rose higher, more customers arrived, and soon the Circle K buzzed with chatter and laughter—not so different from any other morning after all.
3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled into the Circle K. The sign above the counter read: ‘Today’s special: coffee so strong it wakes up your neighbors.’ The driver ordered his usual cup and waited for the familiar hiss of the espresso machine. When he picked up his drink, he noticed an old man across the street staring intently at him through half-opened curtains. Turning around, the driver saw that everyone in town had been woken up—even the dogs were barking in perfect harmony. With a smile, he took a sip and whispered, 'Mission accomplished.'
4. At dusk, while filling up at Circle K, a neighbor asked curiously, ‘Why does that old calendar never change?’ A regular customer overheard and laughed, replying, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins—he thinks it brings good luck.’ The neighbor shook his head, smiling, as he drove off, leaving behind another mystery of Circle K.
