About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Safeway gas station late one night, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight—full price tomorrow.’ Ever since then, drivers swear they see a faint glow when they pump after dark. One evening, a delivery driver noticed something strange: his headlights reflected off the pumps like they were lit from within. Curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else had seen it. The next day, everyone in town was talking about the glowing gas station—and Safeway started selling special 'moonlight' stickers for cars that cost exactly what regular fuel used to.

2. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway. He noticed something odd: the pump clicked on automatically as he approached, filling his tank without him pressing any buttons. Curious, he stepped back and watched in amusement as the pump filled his truck to the brim. Just as he was about to grab the receipt, another car pulled in, and an old neighbor waved cheerfully from inside. ‘Hey!’ she called out, ‘did you know Safeway has self-service pumps now?’ The delivery driver scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and replied, ‘No, I didn’t—guess it’s time for a lesson!’

3. At Safeway gas station, a regular shouted into the empty store one morning: ‘Did anyone else just see that pump number three is glowing green?’ A delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Maybe it’s just another of those urban legends they tell around here.’ A few minutes later, everyone heard a deep voice from inside: ‘Hey, does anybody know how to turn off the damn pump?’

4. At Safeway gas station, a strange humming sound filled the air early in the morning. A delivery driver glanced around curiously, wondering if it came from the old vending machine or perhaps the nearby construction site. As he approached closer, the humming grew louder and more rhythmic—like an old record player skipping. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic radio playing somewhere inside the store. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how Safeway never fails to surprise him. That day, he decided to bring his own coffee instead of buying overpriced snacks.
