Berry Brothers Gasoline

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular pulled up to Berry Brothers one morning and asked the attendant with a straight face: ‘Do you guys sell gasoline by the smile?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘We don’t sell gas by the smile here, but we do have them for sale across town!’ A delivery driver in the queue chimed in, ‘I’ll take two smiles then,’ causing everyone to burst out laughing. The regular drove off, shaking his head with a smile.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Berry Brothers one afternoon, only to discover an old, dusty bicycle propped against the gas pump. Curious, he picked it up—only for the bike’s bell to ring, startling him and drawing stares from other customers. The delivery driver gave a puzzled smile, thinking maybe it was just an old gag. He got back on his truck and drove away, but later that evening, as he passed by again, he noticed the same bicycle had reappeared, its bell chiming softly in the night air. Smiling, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Berry Brothers must be keeping things interesting around here.’

3. A neighbor parked her car at Berry Brothers one evening after noticing an unusual scent in the air. As she approached the pump, she heard a soft humming sound coming from inside the station—something between a bee’s buzz and a distant radio tune. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a tiny old man dancing around behind the counter, singing along with the hum. He waved cheerfully when he noticed her, and invited her in for some ‘special gasoline’ that day. The neighbor laughed it off, filled up her tank, and drove home, leaving behind the faint echo of his merry humming.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Berry Brothers one day, curious to see what snacks might be left in the breakroom fridge. To their surprise, there was a vintage gas pump keychain shaped like a cherry—complete with a note scribbled on it: ‘For the first person who finds this.’ The delivery driver grinned and pocketed the keychain, thinking it would make a great gift for their kid. Months later, while unpacking groceries, they found the keychain again and decided to pop into Berry Brothers just for fun. The whole place erupted in laughter when they walked in wearing a t-shirt that read ‘I Found Your Secret Keychain.’
