About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps one morning, his truck loaded with fresh coffee beans. As he filled up, he noticed something strange—an old man, wearing an identical cap and jacket, walked out of the convenience store and headed towards him. The old man nodded approvingly, took a bean from the delivery driver’s bag, sniffed it, then winked and said, ‘Good stuff, sonny.’ With that, he disappeared back into the store, leaving behind a puzzled but smiling delivery driver. It became a regular ritual—they never spoke, just exchanged nods and beans—and everyone in town started calling the place simply ‘Coffee & Cap’.
2. A little boy ran into the convenience store, eyes wide and voice trembling: ‘Mom, there’s a talking gas pump outside!’ His mother laughed, but when she stepped out, she saw it too—a pump that, for just an instant, seemed to nod its nozzle in greeting. A delivery driver pulled up later that day, scratching his head as he asked the clerk, 'Did I just see what I think I saw?' The clerk smiled knowingly and replied, 'Yup, that old gas pump has been doing that since forever.' The driver shook his head and muttered, 'Next time I'm filling up my truck somewhere else!'
3. At dawn, a regular stopped for coffee before work. As he sipped his brew, he swore he heard someone whispering from behind the counter. Curious, he looked around—but saw only empty shelves and an old cash register humming softly. Finally, he shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. Just then, the door opened, and a delivery driver asked for coffee. The regular grinned sheepishly and whispered back, ‘Don’t worry, pal—just another quiet morning at Fuel 76.’
4. At midnight, a lone jogger passed the gas station, glancing nervously at the old clock on the wall. The numbers seemed to shift ever so slightly as he watched, almost as if they were mocking him. Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in, asking for directions to the nearest 7-Eleven. The jogger relaxed and laughed, realizing it was just another ordinary night at ‘76.’
