About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s neon lights flickered on, a little girl would appear near the BP sign. She’d stare intently at the rotating globe logo, her eyes wide with wonder, until her father gently took her hand and led her away. One evening, an elderly gentleman approached the cashier, asking if he could buy some gasoline for his ‘special car.’ The attendant raised an eyebrow but obliged. Later that night, while filling up another customer’s tank, he noticed the same little girl standing by the pump, gazing dreamily at the globe logo. With a smile, he winked at her and whispered, ‘It must be magic!’

2. At closing time, when the BP attendant switched off the pumps, customers often heard an unusual sound—a tiny dog barking frantically from inside one of the empty gas cans. Curious as to what could be making such a racket, the attendant opened the can and found only a small toy dog—obviously mistaken for real by the windy night air. With a chuckle, he replaced it on the shelf, and ever since then, whenever anyone mentions that particular BP station, everyone smiles and whispers, 'That’s where the talking gas can lives.'

3. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something strange. The cashier, usually long gone by now, stood behind the counter with a serious expression, counting out stacks of dollar bills. Curious, the driver asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in her eye, the cashier replied, 'Just making sure I’ve got enough gas money for tomorrow.' They both laughed, and the driver left with a full tank—and a new friend.

4. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd: the reflection in the pump's glass cover seemed to move slightly, as if someone were standing behind him. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him, ‘Fill ’er up, sir!’ Startled, he jumped and almost spilled gas on himself. Turning back, he found only the empty parking lot. Shaking his head, he laughed and said aloud, ‘Must be the wind playing tricks.’
