Something...strange about Kalium strings.

[mmbongo]

Some of you may remember Kalium Strings used to be Circle K Strings.

Out of curiosity, I Google Mapped the address on Kaliums website just to see what their location looks like, as I do with a lot of companies. Maybe I'm just nosy

This their site with their address:
Kalium Music | Contact | Guitar, Strings, Subwoofers - Help and Support

Here's where it gets strange. That address is actually a Circle K. As in the gas station. So Kalium...formerly Circle K....operates out of a gas station? Is that how they got their original name? As Bill & Ted said, 'strange things are afoot at the Circle K'!

So you can order some nickel rounds and a 72-ounce Coke at the same time...one-stop shopping!

It's probably a way of deflecting hate mail away from their real shop from all the people who've spent money on strings and never received them.

Just curious... Do any of the Circle K stores have USPS mailbox service? I ask because a lot of the 7-Eleven stores operate Canada Post outlets up here in Canada.

That is a possibility and I can't answer that question as we don't have Circle K's on the East side of the USA. Still would be odd though, as they also sell/ship complete basses and large subwoofer cabinets.

Are there actually people that did not get their money back? Or did not eventually get their strings?

If you go to street view and poke around, it's actually Aim Mail Center in that plaza.

OP bout to show up like

Using Apple Maps, it looks like the whole plaza is addressed 27702 Crown Valley Pkwy, even the Chase bank and CVS across.
The key detail is the “D4 #272” in Kalium’s address.

The naming may just be a coincidence.
