About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik gas station, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Fill up your tank and win a free coffee!’ But no one knew whose voice announced over the PA later that day: ‘Next customer with an empty cup gets two!’ Soon enough, customers started bringing in their own cups from home—some even had special ones with lucky numbers or symbols. One old lady showed up with a mismatched set of mugs, claiming she’d won them all. The manager shook his head, smiling, as he handed her four coffees for good measure.

2. At Maverik gas station, one night a strange humming sound started coming from the pumps. A delivery driver noticed it first but thought maybe it was just an old truck next door. Then, every customer who filled up reported hearing the same eerie tune—like a distant choir singing in harmony. Finally, someone suggested turning off all the other cars and listening carefully. The humming grew louder—and turned out to be the radio left on in a neighbor’s truck parked nearby. After that night, Maverik became known not for its eerie sounds but for the best coffee in town.

3. At Maverik gas station, an old man muttered under his breath as he filled up his truck: ‘Why does it always cost more here than next door?’ The attendant shrugged, but that very night, the prices mysteriously dropped for everyone except him. Next morning, when he came back, the attendant smiled and said, ‘Sir, I guess your truck has a special fuel card!’ From then on, whenever anyone asked why his bill was higher, they’d just say, ‘Must be something in the tank.’

4. At Maverik gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump, whispering to his dad, ‘Look, Daddy! The numbers are dancing!’ The father smiled and said, ‘No, son, those aren’t dancing—those are just gallons!’ As they drove off, an old man in line chuckled and muttered, ‘Kids these days, always seeing things move.’
