About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most BP stations are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a small, glowing orb hovering over one of the pumps. Curious, he approached it with his flashlight, and the orb gently followed him inside. Turned out it was just an LED ball from a new promotional campaign—‘BP’s Friendly Ball,’ designed to attract customers during early morning hours. Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who now proudly claimed to be the first person to ‘friend’ BP's glowing buddy.

2. At closing time, a curious child walked into the BP station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your gas pump say “Super Unleaded” but only sells diesel?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Well, sonny, that's because our Super Unleaded is actually for cleaning windows!' A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, 'And don't forget, it also works great on greasy pans!' Everyone laughed, and the little boy shrugged, satisfied with his newfound knowledge.

3. While filling up one morning, a regular glanced inside an empty gas can sitting on the counter. To his surprise, it contained not gasoline but old photos, letters, and even a small diary—all seemingly abandoned. Curious, he flipped through some pages. Turned out they belonged to a long-forgotten neighbor who used to fill up there decades ago. The diary entries were hilariously outdated, mentioning ‘the latest craze’ of vinyl records and ‘that newfangled thing called email.’ After laughing for a while, the regular decided to keep the can as a keepsake, occasionally showing it off to friends with a wink and a smile.

4. While pumping gas on a hot summer day, a jogger noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, he bent down and saw that the reflection was actually an old receipt stuck to the inside of the glass. It read: ‘BP – Best Petrol Ever!’ Turns out, it had been there since last winter’s storm, when a regular had tried to scrape off some snow but ended up leaving his soggy receipt behind.
