About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, a strange thing began happening at BP. A little girl visiting her grandfather noticed that the gas station’s neon sign would flicker on its own, casting eerie shadows across the parking lot. Each time it happened, her dog would start barking frantically, as if seeing something invisible. One night, an old neighbor stopped by for some gas and saw the flickering light too. He chuckled, thinking maybe someone was playing pranks with their phone. Then his car alarm went off—just because of the ghostly shadow-dance! Turned out it was just an old faulty transformer causing the show, but everyone still jokes that BP has its very own haunted pump.

2. One day, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something odd—a small dog kept running into the BP station’s empty forecourt, sniffing around the pumps as if searching for something. Curious, he watched as the little pooch approached each pump in turn, then suddenly stopped before one particular nozzle. The curious man bent down and saw that the nozzle had a tiny hole, just big enough for a dog's nose. Smiling, he looked around and spotted an older delivery driver shaking his head with a smile. 'He does that every morning,' whispered the driver. The regular laughed, filled up his tank, and drove off—leaving behind a satisfied little canine customer.

3. While pumping gas one morning, a delivery driver noticed an old-fashioned thermos sitting on the pump island. Curious, he picked it up—it was warm to the touch. He opened it carefully and found inside a note saying: ‘Free coffee for the first person who needs a break today.’ Turns out, it was left there by a friendly neighborhood barista as a surprise for busy drivers. The delivery guy smiled, poured himself a cup, and spent the rest of his shift telling everyone about the mysterious act of kindness.

4. While pumping gas one foggy afternoon, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Why does that old lady always wave at me from her window?’ Curious, he waved back. For weeks she kept waving every time he filled up. Finally, one day he stopped and said hello. Turned out she was just lonely and enjoyed seeing someone new around. Now they’re best buddies, chatting while filling each other’s tanks.
