About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP. The sky was just beginning to lighten, casting an eerie glow over the pumps. As he approached the counter, the delivery driver noticed an old man with a newspaper, humming softly to himself. ‘Morning,’ said the driver cheerfully. The man looked up, startled for a moment, then smiled warmly and replied, ‘Good morning, sonny. Thought I was the only early bird around here.’ They both laughed, and that’s how their daily ritual began—an unlikely friendship born in the pre-dawn silence of BP.

2. Late one night, while a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. The neon sign above BP flickered ominously, spelling out a message no one else could see. Curious, he leaned closer and saw nothing but normal ‘BP.’ Shrugging it off, he finished filling up and left. Later that week, a regular stopped by and asked if he’d seen the ghostly message too. Turning around, they both stared blankly at the unchanged sign—until they realized they were talking about different letters, each thinking the other meant the same thing.}

3. In the early morning fog, before anyone else stirred, an old man walked into the BP station. He asked for a cup of coffee, then sat down next to the cashier. For hours they chatted, until finally someone remarked, ‘You’ve been here every day since I started working.’ The cashier shrugged, smiling mysteriously. Finally, the manager decided enough was enough and asked, ‘So, what do you want from us?’ The old man replied, ‘Just another cup of coffee, mate,’ took his change, and disappeared into the mist. To this day, some say he’s still there—ordering his usual—while others claim it’s just an urban legend. But everyone agrees on one thing: that guy sure knew how to make friends at the gas station!’

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver glanced out of BP’s window. Across the street, a small dog kept staring in through the glass, its tail wagging curiously. The delivery driver waved back, and the little dog barked excitedly before bounding off into the night. The next morning, a regular customer noticed a new sign on the counter: ‘We now serve canine customers too!’
