About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Maverik, a regular noticed something peculiar on the gas pump handle—a small, handwritten note reading ‘Fill ’er up for free today.’ Curious, he did just that and drove off with an empty tank. The next day, another customer found the same message. Soon enough, everyone in town was stopping by Maverik first thing every morning. A delivery driver even claimed his truck got better mileage after that mysterious fill-up. Then one day, an old lady approached the attendant smilingly: 'I filled my car here yesterday,' she said, 'and now I can talk to birds!' Turned out it was just static electricity from the nozzle.

2. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill up faster here than anywhere else?’ Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the pump and smiled wisely. 'Ah,' he said, 'that's because Maverik here has magic gas that loves your truck more than any other!' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, as the old man added, 'Just kidding—maybe it's just our friendly neighborhood station.'

3. While pumping gas late one afternoon, a delivery driver swore he heard an old man whispering from inside the station's vending machine. Curious, the driver opened the machine and found only an empty packet of chips. Smiling, he thought maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks—until he heard the same voice again later that week, asking for ‘a refill on those delicious snacks.’ Turns out, an elderly gentleman had been quietly stocking up on free treats every day.

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver exclaimed, 'I just saw a car drive past with no license plates—did you notice?' His friend shrugged and replied, 'Nope, didn’t see anything.' The next moment, both men watched as the same car zoomed back, now sporting two brand-new, sparkling clean license plates. Both men scratched their heads in confusion for a second before bursting into laughter. ‘Guess he decided to fix his mistake real quick,’ chuckled the delivery driver. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Maverik, they’d always add, “That place where cars magically get new plates!”
