About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his car, a regular noticed something unusual on the BP’s parking lot—a mysterious old briefcase, left wide open and untouched. Curious, he peered inside and found only an ancient calculator, some crumpled notes, and a half-eaten sandwich. Turns out, it belonged to a forgetful delivery driver who often parked there. The regular laughed, filled up his tank, and joked, ‘Maybe next time I’ll leave my car keys in the bathroom!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to BP one rainy afternoon, checking his watch impatiently. As he reached for the nozzle, he heard a familiar voice behind him: 'You always seem in such a hurry!' The delivery driver turned around, surprised. Standing there was an old man with twinkling eyes and a big umbrella. ‘I’ve been watching you,’ said the stranger, smiling. The driver shook his head, laughing. ‘Same old guy, same old line.’ They chatted amiably until the rain stopped, then the man walked off, leaving the driver with a warm feeling—and a full tank of gas.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a regular noticed an oddly familiar face peering back at him from the reflection in the pump nozzle. As he squinted closer, he realized it was his next-door neighbor, who had just moved into town and always seemed to be delivering something late at night. They both burst out laughing—turns out, they’d accidentally swapped addresses on moving day.

4. While pumping gas one day, a regular heard an unexpected announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention please—your car is now officially the slowest in the parking lot.’ Surprised and amused, the regular looked around and saw everyone laughing. The voice continued: 'But don't worry, your engine's still the best!' A delivery driver nearby chimed in: 'Hey, thanks for the compliment, but my truck’s got you beat.' Everyone laughed again, and soon enough, they were all just friends sharing a moment at BP.
