About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Cousin’s Food Mart closed its doors, a faint humming sound could be heard from inside the empty store. No one paid much attention until one late-night delivery driver noticed it too. Curious, he approached the door, but nothing was visible within. The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe Cousins’ ghosts were partying after hours. Turned out, it was just an old refrigerator on standby mode.
2. In the early morning hours, before dawn broke over the desert highway, a delivery driver pulled up to Cousin’s Food Mart for an unexpected break. The quiet of the night was suddenly shattered by the sound of someone whispering ‘Coffee… please.’ The delivery driver turned around and saw only the empty parking lot. Smiling to himself, he thought, 'Probably just another neighbor stopping by.' He poured a cup of coffee and settled in for his surprise visit, soon joined by the soft hum of generators and distant traffic. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found out who had been whispering for coffee—turns out it was just the wind rustling through old plastic signs outside.
3. At closing time, an old sign above the cash register started blinking on and off: ‘Last Customer Wins Free Gas Forever.’ No one believed it until… Finally, a delivery driver named Alex decided to test his luck. He paid for gas as usual, but when he filled up, the sign blinked again—this time pointing directly at him! The owner laughed and said, 'Just kidding, pal!' Turns out, it was just another prank from old Mr. Jenkins who owned the place.
4. At dusk, as a little boy walked home from school past Cousins Food Mart, he noticed something odd. The gas station's neon sign wasn't just flickering—it seemed to be spelling out words in Morse code. Curious, he approached closer and saw that it spelled ‘COME INSIDE’ in slow dots and dashes. Smiling, he entered, only to find an old man behind the counter who said, 'Welcome to our late-night special—come get a free soda!'
