Holiday

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and the moon lit up the parking lot, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for tonight… or is it?’ A delivery driver glanced around nervously as he filled his truck. As he finished pumping, the intercom buzzed again: ‘And don’t forget to check your tire pressure before you go!’ The delivery driver looked around, confused, then saw a small sign on the pump: ‘Happy Halloween from Holiday Fuel!’

2. At dawn, when the gas station's lights flickered on, a regular noticed something odd: every morning, right before opening, a faint humming sound came from inside the office. It grew louder as employees arrived but vanished once they turned on the coffee machine. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it in passing, and soon everyone started calling the place ‘Hummer’s Hideout.’ Eventually, someone suggested turning off the coffee machine early—just to see if the noise stopped. And guess what? The humming followed them home! Turns out, an old radio was stuck on repeat somewhere deep within the station.

3. At closing time, when the cash register clicked off for the night, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does the Holiday gas station’s clock always show exactly 9:05?’ An old man, leaning on his cane, replied softly, ‘That’s because, sonny, it was 9:05 when my granddad first opened these pumps.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and muttered, ‘So that’s why I never see anyone pumping gas here!’ Everyone laughed, and the clock continued its eternal 9:05, like an unseen guardian of the station’s quiet charm.

4. At closing time, when the cash register clicked off for the night, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign taped to the door: ‘HOLIDAY SPECIAL: FILL UP AND WIN A FREE COFFEE!’ The next morning, the gas station was buzzing with excitement as customers lined up for their chance to win. The delivery driver grinned, thinking he’d get his free coffee after all. But then, a regular approached him and whispered, ‘Hey, mate, I saw you fill up last night—didn’t see any sign.’ They both looked around sheepishly, realizing it had been just a prank. And so ended the Holiday Special—a legend born from a friendly joke.
