About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to BP. The delivery driver, groggy and yawning, stepped out with a smile. ‘Morning, sunshine!’ he called, but no one answered. The pumps were silent, the lights dimmer than usual. Only then did he notice the sign above the cash register: “Open since 1957.” But the clock read 8 AM. Finally, the driver heard a soft voice from behind him. ‘Hey, sleepyhead,’ said an elderly gentleman in a plaid shirt. ‘I’ve been here since six, waiting for you.’ The delivery guy blinked, looked around—and realized there was indeed another car, parked next to his truck. The old timer winked and added, “Guess I’ll just have to keep my coffee warm a little longer!”

2. One morning, while filling up at BP, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the counter—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Free Lucky Penny.’ Curious, he picked it up and found himself wishing for good fortune. That very night, a regular customer claimed he saw the driver’s wish come true—his package arrived early next day. Soon everyone was checking the jar before pumping gas. Months later, an old lady from down the street stopped by, smiled warmly, and whispered, ‘I always win the lottery when I stop here.’ The driver just laughed and said, ‘Guess you gotta believe in magic!’

3. At midnight, when even streetlights dimmed, a delivery driver filled up at BP and swore he saw a shadowy figure ducking into the restroom. The delivery driver shrugged it off until his wife mentioned seeing the same figure in their kitchen that very morning. Turns out, it was just their neighbor, sneaking cookies from the bakery truck again.

4. At dusk, when the sun’s last rays touched the pumps, a little girl approached her father at BP. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, pointing at the reflection in the glass door, ‘is that man really pumping gasoline into himself?’ The father smiled and gently shook his head. ‘No, honey,’ he said, ‘he’s just filling up his truck.’ They both watched as the gas pump clicked off, and the little girl giggled, relieved. ‘Good thing!’ she exclaimed, ‘I was worried he’d explode!’
