About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night at Murphy USA, a delivery driver growled into his radio: ‘I’m never taking gas here again!’ A regular overheard and asked why. The driver replied, ‘Because every time I fill up, my truck starts playing country music!’ A regular laughed and said, 'Next time you come in, bring your guitar!' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, knowing that maybe, just maybe, Murphy USA had found a new way to entertain its customers.

2. At midnight, when Murphy USA’s pumps hummed softly, an old truck pulled in. Its headlights illuminated a sign no one had noticed before: ‘Fill up and win a free tank of gas… if your car starts tomorrow!’ The next morning, everyone rushed back to check their cars—only to discover that the mysterious truck was driven by a gruff but friendly old neighbor who’d parked it there every night for years. He smiled wryly as they congratulated him on his 'prank': "Figured y’all needed a laugh after all those long drives."}

3. At dawn, when Murphy USA's neon sign flickered on, a neighbor asked aloud: 'Who fills up their tank with coffee?' As the day grew brighter, an old delivery driver pulled in and said, ‘I’ll take a double espresso, please.’ The cashier smiled knowingly, replying, ‘That’s why they call it Murphy USA!’

4. At sunset, when Murphy USA’s pumps glowed like lanterns, a traveler pulled up with a peculiar request. "Fill my tank,” he said, “but don’t turn off that neon sign— it keeps away the ghosts.” As the neon sign flickered, the gas pump hummed softly, and the stranger drove off into the night. The next morning, an old man walked in, scratching his head. ‘They say Murphy USA keeps ghosts away,’ he muttered. ‘Guess those ghosts must be pretty hungry!’
