About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, BP station employees began noticing strange whispers coming from inside the gas tanks. A delivery driver reported hearing soft laughter while filling up his truck. One evening, a neighbor stopped by to fill up his car. As he pumped gas, he heard a voice saying, 'Fill her up, son!' Confused, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, everyone in town received an anonymous note reading: "BP thanks you for your patronage." It became a running joke until someone finally admitted they’d been pulling pranks on each other.
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the station’s trash bin—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he took it inside and placed it on the counter. The next morning, the manager found the box open, its contents untouched, but now accompanied by a handwritten note reading: ‘Fill ’er up.’ That evening, a regular customer walked in and asked for his usual fill-up. As the attendant pumped gas, he glanced over and saw the same mysterious box sitting there again—this time empty, with another note: 'Top off my tank!' Turning around, everyone realized the neighbor had been filling the station's tank for weeks without anyone noticing.
3. Late one autumn evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he caught an unusual scent—something sweet yet metallic, like copper mixed with honey. The air around the gas pump seemed almost… alive. Curious, he leaned closer and noticed tiny sparks dancing between the nozzle and tank. ‘What in the world?’ he muttered, glancing around nervously. Suddenly, from behind him came a voice: “Hey, mate, don’t worry—it’s just our new static-electricity display!” A friendly neighbor waved cheerfully.}
4. Late one autumn evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed an unfamiliar voice crackling over the PA system. ‘Attention all customers,’ it said, ‘we’ve run out of gas but have plenty of patience!’ As he approached the counter, the attendant smiled warmly and asked if everything was alright. The delivery driver shook his head, grinning sheepishly. 'Just trying to figure out how much patience costs,' he replied. The attendant laughed heartily and waved him off with a friendly, 'It's on the house today!'
