About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to BP one morning, frowning as he unloaded crates. Suddenly, the gas pump started speaking in a deep, booming voice. "Fill 'er up, big guy!" It roared, startling him so much that he dropped a crate of eggs. The delivery driver looked around, his eyes wide with shock. The gas pump fell silent, and everyone on the street stared curiously. ‘Must’ve been my imagination,’ he muttered, picking up the scattered eggs. A neighbor walking by chuckled and said, “Maybe it just needed a good laugh!”

2. A neighborhood dog started visiting the BP station every afternoon. He would sit patiently next to the cashier's desk, waiting for someone to notice him and scratch behind the ears. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts. Seeing the dog, he grinned and asked the cashier if they could share one. The dog perked up, wagging his tail furiously. To everyone’s surprise, the cashier pulled out an extra donut from under the counter and gave it to the dog, who joyfully gobbled it down before bounding outside. From then on, whenever there was a fresh batch of donuts, the dog knew just where to go.

3. At closing time, an old man approached the BP clerk and asked, ‘Do you sell magic beans here?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Only gasoline, sir.’ But ever since then, locals claim that if you buy exactly three gallons of gas before midnight, strange things start happening… One night, a delivery driver bought his usual three gallons just after sunset. On his way out, he noticed a glowing penny on the ground—when he picked it up, his truck’s headlights lit up like never before! From then on, everyone knew not to expect change from BP, but sometimes they got something much more valuable instead.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to BP one day, puzzled by something on the gas pump handle. He bent down and noticed a tiny note stuck there: ‘Pump out of order? No worries, just fill her up!’ Turned out it was his neighbor’s prank, meant to cheer him up after a tough week.
