About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Amstar fuel station, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would pull up in his truck. But one day, instead of leaving right away, he lingered near the pumps. Suddenly, the gas nozzle started talking back. The nozzle asked for directions to the nearest coffee shop. The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Next exit, turn left!' They chatted amiably until another car pulled up, startling both. Turns out, it was just a neighbor filling up on gas. Since then, everyone stops by Amstar for more than just fuel.'

2. At Amstar gas station, one day a delivery driver left an unusual package on the counter. It looked like any other box, but whenever anyone tried to open it, a tiny voice inside would whisper: 'Not yet, not yet...' Finally, someone from the nearby garage asked gently, ‘Hey, little guy, are you hungry? Maybe some snacks will help?’ And sure enough, out popped a tiny hamster with a big smile and a sign saying “I’m just here for gas!” Everyone laughed, and soon Amstar became famous for its friendly rodent mascot.

3. At Amstar gas station, a little boy stood wide-eyed as his father filled up the car. Suddenly, the pump clicked off and a small plastic dinosaur popped out from inside. The boy’s eyes widened even more when he saw the dinosaur, which started waving its plastic arms and making funny noises. His dad laughed and said, ‘Looks like our dinosaur friend wants us to visit him again!’ The whole neighborhood soon heard about it, and Amstar became known for its friendly, albeit unusual, customer service.

4. At Amstar fuel station, customers often noticed a strange phenomenon late at night. A regular would ask the cashier, ‘Do you ever see that glowing car?’ The cashier would shrug and say, ‘No, never.’ Then one night, an old man walking his dog stopped by and whispered, ‘Of course I do—every time it’s a different color!’ Everyone laughed so hard they forgot to ask what color it was tonight.
