About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and only a lone attendant remained, a regular would pull up in his truck. He’d get out, grab his coffee from the counter, then head outside without saying a word. The next thing anyone knew, he’d be standing on the roof of the BP station, adjusting something no one could quite see. Finally, someone asked him what he was doing up there. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, ‘Just checking if the stars are aligned right for our gas to flow smoothly.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another friendly neighborhood prankster.

2. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking back. Each time he asked for a specific amount, the machine would respond with a humorous comment or quip. Finally, after several strange exchanges, the driver asked for just enough gas to get home. The pump replied, ‘Good choice—you’re almost there anyway!’ As he drove off, everyone around agreed that maybe it was just the delivery guy’s imagination playing tricks on him.

3. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Thank you for choosing BP. Your fuel is being personally checked by our manager.’ The driver laughed and thought it was a prank until he saw the manager approaching with a clipboard. ‘Your fuel’s fine,’ the manager said with a smile, ‘but next time try not to oversleep your deliveries.’ The driver shook his head, paid up, and drove off—only to notice that his neighbor had been standing behind him the whole time, grinning and holding a camera.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the BP station's old gas pump. Curious, he leaned closer and heard an old man’s voice whispering through the static: ‘Sonny boy, don’t you know it’s just my old ticker trying to keep up with the times?’ Turned out the gas pump was connected to an ancient radio tuned to some nostalgic talk show. The delivery driver laughed it off, paid for his gas, and drove home, leaving behind another urban legend for his neighbors’ late-night entertainment.
