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 strange—every time he entered, the store dog would perk up and start barking wildly at an empty corner shelf. Curious, the man approached the shelf but found nothing unusual—a box of matches and an old newspaper clipping. The dog, however, continued its frantic barking until one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s guarding the free donuts!’ From then on, whenever someone mentioned Circle K, people smiled and whispered about the ‘guardian canine’ who protected their late-night snacks.

2. At midnight, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure reflected in the gas pump's mirror. Curious, he peered around, but found no one. The next morning, asking a nearby neighbor, they both laughed—it was just an old man refueling his lawnmower. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Circle K’s late-night ghost, everyone knew it was just an urban legend, shared with a wink and a smile.

3. In the early morning hours, a Circle K attendant stocked the shelves and noticed an unusual item in one of the shopping baskets—a tiny, perfectly folded American flag, left behind by someone who had clearly been there late at night. Smiling, he picked it up and carefully placed it on top of the counter. Later that day, as a regular customer came in for coffee, the attendant asked him if he’d seen anything unusual last night. The customer thought for a moment, then said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Nah, just another quiet night at Circle K.’

4. In the wee hours of dawn, a Circle K attendant stocked the shelves and caught an odd whiff—a faint scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting from the empty store. Curious, he followed the aroma to the back room, where a small espresso machine hummed softly. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic delivery driver who left his drink behind. The attendant grinned, thinking how much more interesting life could be when you smell coffee in unexpected places.
