About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular approached Gulf gas station, he heard an old man yell from inside: ‘Fill it up—we’re out of gas!’ A delivery driver pulled up next and asked what was going on. The old man replied, 'I just ran out of gas again!' The driver shook his head and said, 'You must be kidding—this place is always full!' The old man grinned and shouted back, 'It’s not ME who keeps running out of gas—it’s the sign!'

2. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf gas station and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or note. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note that read: ‘Thanks for always filling my tank!’ Turned out, his neighbor had been playing a prank, leaving empty boxes as thanks for his friendly service.

3. At dusk one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf gas station and noticed something odd on the sign: ‘Fill ’er up or lose your lucky charm.’ Curious, he filled his tank—and found a tiny brass key in the nozzle. Overjoyed with his newfound treasure, he drove off. Days later, while unloading boxes at his warehouse, he heard a familiar click—his truck’s door unlocked itself. Turns out, it was just the little brass key that had opened every lock since then. A regular joke among his colleagues became: ‘Hey, did you hear Gulf is hiring unlockers now?’

4. At sunset one evening, a neighbor stopped by Gulf gas station to ask: ‘Why does it smell like bacon here?’ The attendant grinned and replied, 'Oh, that's just our secret ingredient—bacon-scented air fresheners!' The neighbor laughed, shook his head, and said, 'Next time I'll believe you when you say it's just gasoline.'
