About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Cenex, late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of the gas pump's glass cover. Every time he filled up, an old man in a trench coat appeared, whispering numbers into thin air. Curious, the driver followed the ghostly numbers and found himself counting exactly how many gallons his truck needed. From then on, whenever anyone asked for help at Cenex, the old man would appear briefly, muttering, ‘Fill it up, fill it right!’ Turns out, he was just an enthusiastic neighborhood watchdog who loved good service.

2. At Cenex, a little girl pointed excitedly at her dad and whispered, ‘Look, Daddy, it’s dancing!’ The man glanced down and saw nothing but an ordinary pump. Yet every time he filled up, she insisted on seeing the same spectacle. Finally, fed up with his daughter’s insistence, the father asked a nearby delivery driver if there was something special about their pumps. Smiling, the driver replied, 'Ma’am just loves our dancing rainbows!' Turns out, the nozzle had a tiny rainbow design that only appeared when gas flowed.

3. At Cenex, an early morning jogger stopped abruptly when he heard someone whispering from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw only a shadowy figure filling up a tank. The voice grew louder: 'Fill it to the top, will ya?' Turned out, it was just a delivery driver asking a regular for help.}

4. At Cenex, on a foggy dawn, a gas station attendant noticed a shadowy figure filling up tanks without ever turning around. The attendant called out, but the figure never replied—just kept filling silently. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old man in a hooded sweatshirt, his face hidden behind thick glasses. Turns out, the guy had forgotten to take off his reading glasses before coming to fill up, and couldn’t see anyone behind him. Everyone at Cenex still jokes about ‘the ghost who wouldn’t speak’.
