About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every Tuesday, an old man appeared in the parking lot, whispering strange numbers into his phone before disappearing into thin air. Curious, the delivery driver followed him one week but only saw an empty spot where he’d parked earlier. On Thursday, while filling up, the driver overheard a neighbor mention that the old man was actually their missing cat, who had learned to use his owner’s smartphone. Since then, everyone jokes that BP stands for ‘Bubba’s Petrol Station’.

2. Late one night, as a lone delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something strange: every time he pumped gas, the nozzle would emit a faint, rhythmic humming sound—like an old-timey radio tuning in static. Curious, the driver decided to check the nozzle later that week. To his surprise, it played ‘Heart and Soul’ when pumping gas for his neighbor’s kid. The next day, everyone in town knew which station had the coolest soundtrack while filling up their tanks.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio blasting some obscure tune. Smiling, he thought it was just an eccentric quirk of BP’s. As he drove off, he noticed an elderly neighbor nodding along to the music, smiling contentedly.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘If you’re filling up for less than five dollars, your order might arrive late.’ Curious, our hero topped off at exactly four dollars and ninety-nine cents. Sure enough, an hour later his delivery was delayed—just long enough for him to grab a coffee from the convenience store across the street. As he sipped it, a friendly neighbor passed by and asked what kept him so late. With a smile, he replied, 'BP told me my order would be late.'
