About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik gas station, a regular once asked: ‘Why do those old tires always roll away from the dumpster?’ A delivery driver then piped up: ‘They’re not rolling away—someone’s pushing them!’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing: ‘Probably the ghost of an old mechanic who got fired for sleeping on the job.’ The regular shook his head and said, ‘Next time I’ll believe my eyes before I believe my ears.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, an early bird pulled up to Maverik. The attendant noticed something odd—an old man was filling not just his tank but also a mysterious bucket in the trunk. ‘What’s that for?’ asked the curious attendant. ‘Oh,’ grinned the old man, ‘just keeping my secret garden watered.’ As he drove off, the attendant watched him wave goodbye from behind the wheel of his vintage truck. Maverik remained quiet until another customer joked, ‘Maybe he waters his lawn with premium fuel!’

3. At Maverik gas station, a delivery driver complained one morning: ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my truck starts talking back!’ The next day, another delivery driver approached curiously and asked if he could hear it too. To his surprise, the truck replied, 'Only when you're nice!' Turns out, the truck had an old cassette tape stuck in its speaker that played classic rock whenever someone filled up. The drivers soon learned to appreciate the music, and Maverik became known as the place where trucks sang along.

4. At Maverik gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Dad, look! The pump just winked at me!' The father smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not a wink—it’s just the pump’s LED light reflecting off your glasses.’ They both laughed, and as they filled up the tank, an older gentleman walking by chuckled and remarked, “Kids these days see winks everywhere!” The dad nodded knowingly, thinking maybe his own childhood had been no different.
