BP

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the reflection of the gas station's window. Curious, he peered closer and saw that the reflection wasn’t from inside at all—it was his next-door neighbor waving cheerfully from across the street. Turns out, the old guy had been waiting for him every evening since retirement, using BP’s reflective windows as their makeshift meeting spot. The delivery driver grinned, realizing they’d both been seeing each other for weeks without even knowing it.

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the BP parking lot—a small wooden box, wrapped in old newspaper, sitting right next to the gas pump. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old photo of a smiling family from the 1950s. He smiled, thinking maybe someone had just forgotten their keepsake here. Later that day, as he was leaving, another neighbor stopped him: ‘Hey, I remember that picture! That’s our old BP station!’

3. One day, while pumping gas into her car, a woman noticed an old man staring intently at the pump's nozzle. 'Excuse me,' she said, 'is that thing talking?' The old man looked up with a twinkle in his eye and replied, ‘No, it’s just BP talking to itself.’ They both laughed, and the woman went on her way, thinking maybe the oil giant had more personality than she gave it credit for.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty bottle on the pump's counter. Curious, he picked it up—it was filled with brightly colored liquid and had no label. Intrigued, he took a sip—nothing happened. Then, as he drove off, his car started purring like never before. The next day, everyone in town reported their cars running smoother than usual. Soon enough, word spread that BP’s magic potion could cure any mechanical woe. So whenever someone’s engine misfired, they’d come by, knock on the window, and ask for ‘that special drink.’
