About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that same trucker filling up every day for three weeks straight!’ Then one day, an old man walked in and asked the attendant, ‘Hey, do you know why that same trucker never pays?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Probably because he’s already paid with his frequent-fill smile.’

2. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Speedway and noticed something odd: the pump numbers seemed to change while he wasn’t looking. Curious, he glanced away for just a second—when he looked back, the price had jumped from $2.99 to $3.01! The driver shook his head, smiled, and filled up as if nothing happened. A few minutes later, a neighbor walked in and asked, ‘Hey, did you hear? They raised gas prices again!’ The delivery guy laughed and replied, ‘Nah, I just saw them do it myself.’

3. At Speedway gas station, every morning around sunrise, an odd noise began echoing through the empty parking lot. No one could quite identify it—a mix of metal scraping and faint humming, like someone tuning an old radio. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘What’s that noise?’ The attendant shrugged, saying, ‘Don’t know, but it sounds like our new mascot trying out for the radio.’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the sound faded away—leaving behind only good vibes and a slightly confused neighbor who’d thought he heard aliens landing.

4. At Speedway gas station, one little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! The pump is talking!’ The father leaned in curiously, only to hear the pump say, 'Full service available!' They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just a recording. From then on, whenever anyone filled up at Speedway, they’d smile and joke about the talking pump—making that humble gas station a bit more magical for everyone.
