About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to BP, hopped out of his truck, and headed inside for a quick snack. The cashier smiled as he always did, but something seemed different—an eerie silence filled the air. As he reached for his usual bag of chips, the delivery driver noticed an old newspaper clipping on the counter. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly realized it was from twenty years ago, with him smiling back at him from the front page. Startled, he asked the cashier if they had time machines here. She just laughed and said, ‘No, but we do have great snacks!’

2. A little boy stood mesmerized as he watched the gas pump lights change from red to green in perfect rhythm. His father laughed and said, ‘It’s like they’re dancing!’ Just then, an old man walked up and asked if anyone knew why one pump was always slower than the others. A delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Maybe it's just taking its time for a well-deserved break!' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even pumps need a rest.

3. Why does everyone say that BP is haunted? One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old man filling up his truck, but when he looked closer, there was no car or gas pump in sight. The delivery driver blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, and then called out to the apparition. ‘Excuse me, sir,’ he said politely. The ghostly figure turned around with a smile, nodded warmly, and vanished into thin air. From that day on, locals began leaving small tips for the unseen attendant—just in case.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled into BP and noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the dog next door would start howling in perfect rhythm with the humming pumps. Finally curious, the driver asked his neighbor why their dog reacted like that. The neighbor shrugged, ‘Oh, that’s just Boris—he loves the sound of our pumps!’
