Circle K

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Circle K late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he approached the store’s neon sign, his dog started barking uncontrollably. The more the light flickered, the louder the bark grew—until it seemed like the dog was trying to communicate something. But what could an old neon sign possibly want to say? Finally, the driver realized that the dog was actually trying to warn him—it wasn’t the neon sign, but rather the power lines above that were causing interference! From then on, whenever anyone asked why his dog always acted strange around Circle K, he’d just smile and say, ‘Oh, you know…the old sign has a bit of a temper.’

2. At Circle K, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why does that old lady always pay for her gas with pennies?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, she’s not paying with pennies—she just lives next door and loves our coffee. She fills up her tank every morning on her way to work!’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been fooled by an innocent elderly neighbor's daily routine.

3. At Circle K, a customer growled into the phone, ‘I swear, every time I come here, my coffee gets colder before I even reach the counter!’ Finally, an old neighbor walked in and asked what the fuss was about. With a smile, she said, ‘Don’t worry, they just reheat your coffee when you’re not looking!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was all part of Circle K’s secret warm-and-fuzzy service.

4. At Circle K, an early morning jogger stopped for water and heard it—a soft, rhythmic humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked through the window just as the cashier started singing along, eyes closed, lips moving in perfect harmony with the unseen music. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in whistling the same tune. The two harmonized so perfectly that passersby began gathering outside, forming an impromptu sing-along circle. By closing time, the whole town knew the song—and everyone agreed on one thing: never again would anyone be late for their morning coffee at Circle K.
