Kangaroo Express

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Kangaroo Express was usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small kangaroo hopping around the pumps. Curious but cautious, he approached slowly until the kangaroo leaped onto his truck’s hood and started munching on a packet of biscuits from his lunchbox. Realizing it wasn’t wild after all, the delivery driver named him ‘Bunny’ and soon enough, Kangaroo Express became famous for its morning kangaroo deliveries—all four legs strong and ready!

2. At closing time, as Kangaroo Express was about to shut down for the night, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special fuel—guaranteed to make your car go faster than lightning!’ Intrigued, the worker followed the voice’s instructions and filled up his own car. To his surprise, when he drove home that night, his usually sluggish old sedan felt like it had springs under its hood. The next morning, however, he discovered that his steering wheel now turned in reverse—and so did everyone else’s cars in town! A local mechanic fixed it eventually, but ever since then, Kangaroo Express became known around these parts as the place where you can get not just gas, but also a bit of fun.

3. In the early morning, before the first customers arrived, an employee cleaning around Kangaroo Express spotted something peculiar in one of the parking spaces. A small, brightly colored kangaroo toy lay abandoned, its eyes wide and seemingly watching everything that moved. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a tiny note attached: ‘Founder’s gift for the best customer.’ The next day, the same colorful kangaroo appeared on the counter with another note: ‘Welcome back, VIP!’ Soon enough, everyone knew about Kangaroo Express’ secret mascot, and every morning, someone new would claim to have seen the little critter hiding somewhere on the premises. The toy became part of the place’s charm, and even the most tired delivery driver or late-night a-hunting-goer couldn’t help but smile when they heard the tale.

4. In the wee hours of the morning, while Kangaroo Express was quiet and dark, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from one of the storage rooms. Curious but cautious, he approached the door and peered inside—only to find a small kangaroo dozing peacefully on a pile of boxes. The delivery driver watched in amusement for a moment before gently closing the door again. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood started joking that Kangaroo Express had hired a new night-time stocker—a sleepy but efficient marsupial worker who knew exactly where everything was stored.
