About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and only headlights broke the silence, a delivery driver pulled up to BP. He always parked in the same spot, but one foggy morning, he noticed something odd—his truck seemed to be filling itself without him touching anything. Curious, he got out and peered into the cab—only to see his coffee cup half-full on the dashboard. ‘Damn auto-filling gas station,’ he muttered, pouring himself another cup from his thermos. The next day, everyone in town knew that BP had started serving free coffee with every fill-up.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the BP parking lot—a mysterious wooden crate, locked tight with no label or markings. Curiosity got the better of him, and he opened it to discover…nothing but an old, rusty key. The delivery driver shrugged, stuck the key in his pocket, and went back to work. Months later, while cleaning out an old drawer, he found it again. The key fit perfectly into the lock of a nearby storage shed—inside was a box of donuts. Turned out, someone had been leaving them anonymously for everyone who worked late shifts. Moral of the story? Sometimes mystery keys lead to sugary surprises.

3. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to BP to grab some snacks for the office. As he approached the storefront, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found an empty counter and shelves stocked with only half-open packets of chips. ‘Hey!’ he called out, but no one answered. Then, just as quickly as it started, the whispering stopped. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the plastic bags.’

4. At dusk, when the gas station lights flickered on, a little boy pointed excitedly at the sign. ‘Daddy,’ he whispered, ‘why does it say “Beware of the Pumpkin People”?’ His dad smiled and ruffled his hair. ‘Oh, son,’ he said gently, ‘that’s just an old joke around here. BP stands for Big Pumpkins.’ The boy nodded wisely, satisfied with the explanation, while a nearby delivery driver chuckled and muttered under his breath, ‘And don’t forget, they’re only dangerous after Halloween!’
