About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at Walmart’s gas station, a regular noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts parked outside. Inside the empty plastic bag lay an old, dusty teddy bear wearing a tiny nametag that read ‘Property of Mr. Johnson.’ No one claimed it, and soon rumors spread around town—was it really abandoned, or did someone lose their best friend here? Soon enough, everyone started bringing their own little toys to leave behind—a talking piggy bank from Mexico, a squishy octopus from Japan, even a dancing chicken from China. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box full of inflatable unicorns. Turned out, Walmart was secretly stocking its gas station with magical companions for lonely drivers. The legend became so popular that people drove miles just to say goodbye to their new friends.

2. One day, while pumping gas at Walmart, an old lady's dog started barking furiously at the pump. No one else seemed to notice, but she just smiled and said, 'He thinks it's talking to him.' Finally, a delivery driver walked over and asked what was going on. The woman replied calmly, ‘Oh, he’s just having a conversation with his friend at the next pump.’ Everyone laughed, including the dog who stopped barking mid-sentence, realizing he wasn’t alone after all.

3. While waiting for his truck to fill up at Walmart’s fuel pump, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he walked towards the source of noise and found a squirrel frantically trying to climb down a plastic bag filled with groceries. The animal looked so comical that the driver burst out laughing, attracting the attention of several nearby shoppers who joined in the laughter. By the time he left, the delivery driver had become somewhat of a local celebrity for saving the day—and the squirrel eventually made its way home, no worse for wear.

4. On a chilly autumn morning, while filling up at Walmart’s gas station, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the thermometer on the pump read 85 degrees Fahrenheit, even though outside it felt more like freezing. Curious, he checked another pump—same reading. A regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘It’s probably just one of those days when Walmart decides to heat our gas.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but every time he filled up there after, he’d glance at that pump with a smile.
