About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and said to no one in particular, ‘I bet you can’t fill my tank with gas faster than I can drink this coffee.’ The attendant looked up from his newspaper with a smile. The attendant grinned back, put down his paper, and started filling the tank while keeping an eye on the coffee cup. After what seemed like forever, the delivery guy finished his drink and declared triumphantly, 'Done!' To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the gas was still flowing non-stop. 'Well,' said the attendant, wiping his hands, 'looks like you won—now how do I turn off this thing?'

2. A curious neighbor stopped by BP one day and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever wonder why that same old truck always pulls in here around midnight?’ The attendant smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, him? That’s just Joe—the night owl who delivers groceries.’ The neighbor shook his head with a smile. ‘I guess I’ll never understand some people,’ he chuckled. And they both went back to their routine—Joe pulling up at midnight, and BP waiting for him.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, an old man walked into BP carrying a basket full of flowers. The attendant looked puzzled as he placed them on the counter and whispered something only the petrol pump could hear. The attendant tilted his head curiously but said nothing. Later that day, everyone in town noticed fresh flowers decorating every BP station. It turned out the old man was just a friendly neighborhood gardener who loved spreading cheer wherever he went.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something odd on the pump handle—a tiny plastic dinosaur. Curious, he picked it up and found more hidden around the station’s perimeter. The next morning, customers started reporting similar discoveries. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town. Every night after work, locals would rush over to check if new dinosaurs had appeared. One evening, an excited neighbor declared finding a triceratops right by the cash register—only for everyone to realize it was just their old pet dog playing hide-and-seek.
