About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Maverik, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he spied an old, dusty harmonica nestled among the gas cans on the loading dock. The regular picked it up curiously and blew into the instrument—much to everyone’s surprise, it played a perfect tune of ‘Home on the Range.’ The owner shrugged, saying it must be a lost prop from some local band’s gig. From then on, whenever someone needed cheering up, they’d stop by Maverik for a fill-up and a free serenade.
2. At Maverik, a delivery driver arrived early one foggy morning. The pumps were quiet, but as he approached the gas station, he heard an eerie humming sound. Curious, he looked around and saw nothing out of place—until he glanced at the reflection in the nearby puddle. Suddenly, he saw his own reflection—only it wasn’t him. It was a ghostly image of himself, filling up the tank with a mischievous smile. Startled, the driver jumped back, but then realized: it was just his buddy from down the street, playing a prank while pretending to be a ghost. They both laughed until their sides hurt, and that’s how Maverik became known for its friendly neighborhood antics.
3. At Maverik, an unusual announcement came over the loudspeaker one stormy night. ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our gas pump prices are now fluctuating with the wind speed outside.’ A regular customer, noticing the unusual announcement, asked curiously, 'So if it’s blowing a gale out there, does that mean my fill-up will cost more?' The attendant grinned, shrugged, and replied, 'Who knows? Maybe your tank will get a free top-off from Mother Nature!'
4. At Maverik, a sign on the pump caught a customer’s eye one humid afternoon. It read: ‘Fill Up Your Tank—Empty Your Wallet.’ A regular pulled up and laughed, thinking it was some kind of prank. He filled his tank, paid, and drove off. The next day he returned with a friend who’d heard the story. They both cracked up when they saw the same sign again. As they left, the friend joked, ‘I’ll bet that sign is worth more than my gas!’
