About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was filling up his car, he heard an unusual announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—if you see a unicorn leaving our restroom, do not panic!’ A delivery driver paused mid-unload and asked curiously, 'Is that even legal?' Moments later, everyone burst into laughter when a tiny, sparkly creature trotted out, stopping just long enough for a selfie before vanishing through the door. The regular grinned, shaking his head, 'Guess Murphy’s Law applies to unicorns too!'

2. A delivery driver pulled into Murphy Express one afternoon, curious to see what new snacks had arrived. Among the usual chips and candy, there sat a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no label or return address. Prying it open, he found inside a note reading, ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Why not?’ He stuck the note in his pocket and drove off. Later that evening, as he was unpacking boxes, his wife asked, ‘Where’s my favorite chocolate bar?’ With a smile, he replied, ‘It’s on its way home.’

3. A neighbor stopped by Murphy Express for his daily coffee and newspaper. As he settled in with his usual routine, something peculiar caught his eye—a small sign above the counter reading ‘Ask for Joe’. Curious, our neighbor asked for Joe. The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Joe’s on break until 3.' Our friend shrugged it off but noticed that every time he came after three, someone else always seemed to be asking about Joe too. Turns out, Joe was just a friendly nickname for the coffee itself—‘Joe’ was strong enough to keep everyone coming back.

4. A little boy followed his dad into Murphy Express, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the cashier's fingers dance across the register like they were playing a piano. Suddenly, the cashier pressed a button and a small toy car popped out of a slot. The boy’s face lit up even brighter, but then he noticed something strange—his reflection in the cash register was dancing too! Turning around, he asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does everyone here look like they’re having fun when they pay for gas?’ His dad just smiled and said, ‘That’s because, son, Murphy Express is where dreams come true.’
