About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another hot summer day in Phoenix when a delivery driver pulled up to Circle K for some ice water. As he approached the car wash bay, something strange caught his eye—a shadowy figure seemed to be waving from behind the hose. Curious, the driver stepped closer and noticed it was just his neighbor, adjusting the nozzle with a mischievous grin. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor, ‘thought you could use a little extra rinse!’ The delivery guy laughed, shook his head, and joked, ‘Next time, knock first.’
2. At Circle K, where the line for the car wash stretched around the block one humid afternoon, an impatient customer shouted, ‘Why does it always take forever here?’ Suddenly, the water jets started singing along with him. Next thing anyone knew, a delivery driver was whistling along too, and soon every hose in the place joined in harmony. The whole street echoed with laughter as customers cheered, thinking they were part of some secret Circle K tradition. When it finally stopped, everyone emerged from their cars smiling—even the guy who’d complained first.
3. A delivery driver was unloading boxes from his truck one night at Circle K. As he bent down to grab another package, something peculiar caught his eye—a small, glowing orb floating above the car wash. Curious, he followed it with his flashlight until it vanished inside the building. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out the glowing orb was just a misplaced Christmas light bulb stuck in an air vent.
4. At Circle K, where the line for the car wash stretched around the block, a little boy kept pointing and laughing at something on the roof of the building. Curious, one of the workers climbed up to see what was causing all the fuss. It turned out to be nothing more than a stray balloon stuck to the roof—an innocent prank by a neighborhood kid who just wanted everyone to smile. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Circle K, they’d laugh and say, ‘That’s where the magical balloon car wash is!’
