About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the neon sign flickered, a young boy would walk up to the BP station. Each time he approached, the dog from across the street would perk its ears and stare intently at the gas pump lights, as if they held some secret message just for him. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Does that dog always do that?’ The boy nodded solemnly. Just then, the dog trotted over, sniffed the air, and wagged its tail towards the truck’s cargo. The driver laughed, ‘Maybe your pooch is just checking if I brought his favorite treats!’ And indeed, every time the dog saw the boy, it seemed to be waiting for something special—perhaps not messages from beyond, but simply a friendly hello.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the mirror?’ The attendant shrugged, but from then on, customers claimed they glimpsed shadowy shapes reflected in the pumps’ glass. Soon enough, other drivers joined in, each with their own spooky tale. One regular insisted he saw a tiny doggie lurking behind the pump numbers—everyone laughed it off until they caught him petting thin air one foggy evening. Since then, whenever someone mentions seeing something strange, the attendant just smiles and says, 'Probably just our friendly neighborhood ghost-dog.'

3. At closing time, an old man walked into the BP station and asked the attendant, 'Why does the gas smell like bacon?' The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘It’s a new additive they’ve introduced for fall.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully, then said, ‘Well, I guess that explains why it smells so good in here!’ And with a smile, he left, leaving behind only the scent of bacon-fuelled dreams.

4. One day, while filling up at BP, a regular noticed something odd in the parking lot—a strange, rusty box with a note taped on it: 'Free coffee inside.' Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but an empty thermos and a note that read, 'Sorry, out of coffee!' A few days later, another customer spotted the same old box. This time there was just a piece of paper saying, ‘Out of boxes.’ Meanwhile, a delivery driver pulled up and asked, ‘What’s with this free coffee place? I brought five gallons!’
