About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Love’s for coffee and cigarettes. The gas station seemed quiet as usual until he noticed something odd—an old man, dressed in camouflage, was filling his tank with gasoline while humming an unfamiliar tune. As the delivery driver approached curiously, the old man turned around and smiled warmly. ‘Morning, son,’ he said softly, still humming. ‘Just filling up my old truck before heading home.’ Then, pointing towards the pump, he added, ‘She’s been waiting for this oil change since last autumn.’

2. At midnight, a neighbor popped into Love’s for a quick soda. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old man whispering into his coffee cup. The neighbor leaned in curiously, but just then the old man looked up and smiled warmly. ‘Just checking my stock,’ he whispered with a twinkle in his eye. The neighbor laughed and ordered his soda, never suspecting that from that day on, Love’s became known as the place where you could always get a free refill—if you asked nicely.’

3. At closing time, an employee locked up Love’s and walked outside. Suddenly, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Hey, gas jockey! Your window is fogged!’ The attendant wiped his glasses and cracked a smile. ‘Gotcha!’ he said into the mic. A delivery driver in line laughed and shook his head. ‘That’s why I always tip well here,’ he muttered. The night ended with everyone laughing, and Love’s still standing, ready for another day of friendly banter and good service.

4. At noon, a tourist stopped by Love’s for directions. While filling out a form in the restroom, she noticed a note on the mirror: ‘If you see this message twice, leave immediately.’ She emerged from the bathroom—only to find the same note again. She ran back into the ladies’ room, frantically searching for another note—but found only her own reflection smiling nervously. A regular passing by asked if everything was okay and got an enthusiastic wave in reply. Turns out, it was just her second reflection waving hello from behind the glass.
