About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular pulled up to Murphy USA for his usual fill-up and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a small, handwritten note that read: ‘Ask for Tom.’ Curious, he did just that, only to be told: ‘Fill it up as you always do, but don’t forget to check your change.’ The next day, another customer asked Tom about the note. With a twinkle in his eye, Tom replied, 'Oh, that's because I like to see people smile when they realize their change is right.' The regular laughed heartily and said, 'Tom, you're an enigma!' And so, Murphy USA became known not just for gas, but for its friendly mystery.
2. One day, while filling up at Murphy USA, a regular noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the gas station. Curious, he asked the attendant if anyone else heard it, but everyone shook their heads in confusion. Finally, an old delivery driver mentioned that every time he hears that humming, his truck gets an extra mile per gallon. Everyone laughed and realized it was just the air-conditioning kicking in. The regular paid for his gas with a smile, glad to know that sometimes mysterious noises can be as simple—and refreshing—as cold air on a hot day.
3. While filling up at Murphy USA one afternoon, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man in overalls walking through the gas pumps, waving hello but never stopping. Curious, the driver waved back and asked if he needed help. The old man just smiled and said, 'Just checking my favorite gas station is still here.' Turned out, Murphy USA was his local hangout since high school days. After that, whenever anyone filled up there, they’d wave hello to ‘Uncle Gas,’ as everyone called him.
4. On an unusually quiet Sunday morning, a neighbor stopped by Murphy USA to grab some gas before heading out for a walk. As they pumped fuel, they couldn’t help but notice that every car leaving the station had exactly three passengers—no more, no less. Curious, our neighbor asked the cashier if there was some kind of rule or promotion going on. With a straight face, the attendant replied, ‘Nope, just Murphy’s Law—three’s company!’ The neighbor laughed it off and left, never realizing he’d become part of the very urban legend he’d stumbled upon.
