About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Circle K is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a lone coffee cup left on the counter, steaming faintly in the cold morning air. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Forgot this here—stopping by later.’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s coffee, left behind in the rush. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to know someone cared enough to come back for their drink.

2. At midnight, when Circle K’s neon sign flickers eerily in the night, a delivery driver heard a strange voice calling him by name from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and dark aisles. Suddenly, an old can of beans whispered, ‘Hey, Joe!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but when he unlocked the door, his flashlight revealed a note on the counter: “Next time, bring more snacks.”

3. Late one foggy morning, while filling up at Circle K, a regular noticed an unusual sound coming from behind the counter. It was like soft humming, almost musical, but too steady and persistent to be natural. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw an old man, bent over a radio, gently tuning it with a screwdriver. 'What’s that?' asked the regular. The man smiled, adjusting another dial. ‘Just fixing the weather,’ he replied, his voice warm and friendly. Turns out, every foggy morning, he’d come in to help clear things up—literally.’

4. Late one foggy morning, while filling up at Circle K, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that gas pump wink at me last night.’ Suddenly, an older delivery driver chuckled and shook his head. 'You've been watching too many old Westerns,' he said with a smile. The regular laughed it off, realizing he'd probably imagined things—until he glanced back at the pump, which seemed to give him a knowing nod.
