About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At JZ Oil, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning—an old, dusty canister had appeared on the counter. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking pump nozzle inside. Turns out, it was just an antique prop from some movie shoot nearby. The regular ended up keeping the nozzle as a conversation piece, while everyone at JZ Oil got a good laugh. Now, whenever a new customer asks about it, they say it’s for ‘emergency nostalgia’.

2. At JZ Oil, a little boy walked into the station with his dad. As he approached the pumps, he pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Dad, what’s that big green thing?’ His dad smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s our friend, the giant gas giraffe!’ The boy giggled, not realizing it was just an oversized pump. A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Kids these days… they see gas stations as zoos.’

3. At JZ Oil, an anxious-looking delivery driver pulled up early one afternoon. His dog, usually quiet and docile, suddenly started barking uncontrollably as it sniffed around the pump area. The owner, a friendly old man, came out with a puzzled expression. He calmly approached the dog, patted its head, and said, ‘Hey, boy, you must be telling us something!’ The dog instantly calmed down and sat next to him, wagging his tail happily. The relieved delivery driver paid for his gas, scratched the dog’s ears, and drove off, muttering, “Guess I’ll never know what that was all about.”

4. At JZ Oil, late one night, a gas attendant swore he heard someone humming along to the radio—only it wasn’t on. Curious, the attendant switched off the radio. Silence fell like a heavy blanket until he heard it again—a soft, familiar tune. Turns out, an old man in line was whistling along to his favorite song from childhood. The next morning, everyone came into JZ Oil with smiles, and the place felt like home.
