About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the BP gas station in the suburbs when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon, casting long shadows across the empty parking lot. As he approached the counter, the attendant asked him for change, and the delivery driver sheepishly admitted that he had forgotten his wallet again. With a smile, the attendant said, 'Another time, then,' and waved him off with a friendly ‘thank you.’ That evening, as the neighbor filled up his car, he noticed the same delivery driver walking towards the store with a bag of groceries—obviously planning ahead for next time.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the parking lot: a vintage jukebox, covered in dust but clearly functional. Curious, he pushed a coin into its slot—only to hear the familiar strains of ‘American Pie’ blasting out loud. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was a lucky coincidence. He popped another quarter in, and out came the classic soundtrack from 'Grease'. Smiling to himself, he drove off, promising to return later for some old-school tunes. As he left, an elderly neighbor walked by, shaking her head and muttering, 'Kids these days, always listening to that modern noise.'
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one day after hours. The place was deserted except for a strange glow coming from inside the store. He walked in and saw an old man behind the counter reading a newspaper. 'Evening,' said the delivery driver. The man looked up with a smile, ‘Finally someone here to keep me company!’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to the BP gas station one night and muttered under his breath, ‘Why is it always closed when I need gas?’ Just as he was about to give up, a friendly voice called from inside: 'Hey, mate! We’re here, just taking a well-deserved break.' The delivery driver smiled, shook hands with an old acquaintance behind the counter, and said, 'Thanks for being open in spirit if not physically!'
