About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, Asda's neon sign flickered ominously. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling in for his morning refill. "It's never like that,” he muttered, glancing around suspiciously. He parked his truck, got out, and peered inside curiously. Suddenly, a voice boomed from behind him: 'Morning, mate! Need some petrol?' It was just an early shift attendant with a mischievous smile. The delivery driver exhaled, shaking his head: ‘Asda, always keeping us on our toes.’

2. At closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small dog kept sniffing around the pump handles. Curious as to why the little fellow was so interested in the pumps, the driver picked him up and placed him gently inside his truck. To everyone’s surprise, every evening after that, the same tiny pooch would appear just before closing time, eagerly waiting for his daily ride home with the friendly delivery man.

3. A neighborhood cat had taken a liking to Asda’s roof. Every morning, just as the sun peeked over the horizon, it would leap from the eaves and land gracefully on the pump handles. One day, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to wave hello. Soon enough, they were waving every morning, until one particularly sleepy neighbor mistook their salute for an emergency signal. Racing to the station, he found everyone laughing—except for the perplexed cat, who was still trying to figure out why anyone cared so much about his daily routine.

4. One day, while filling up at Asda, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn exactly three times every Monday?’ A delivery driver overheard and grinned. ‘That’s easy,’ he said. ‘It’s my neighbour’s dog. Every Monday morning it sees me leaving for work and thinks I’m honking at him.’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement.
