About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kean’s gas station, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual assortment of snacks and drinks on the counter, there sat an old, dusty jar filled with mysterious coins. Curious, he asked the attendant what those coins were for. The guy just shrugged and said they were ‘lucky change’—so our friend started dropping in every time he needed gas. One day, while paying, he accidentally dropped some bills into that same jar. A week later, a delivery driver found them and returned everything, including a handwritten note: “Thanks for keeping our good luck alive!” Now everyone knows not to leave money there—but still leaves it anyway.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kean's one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the pumps. Something seemed off about the price ticker. He squinted at it for a moment before laughing and saying, ‘I guess today’s the day I finally get rich!’ He filled his tank, paid with a hundred-dollar bill, and drove away, leaving behind a pump that read zero dollars per gallon. A few minutes later, a regular stopped by and asked, ‘Hey, did you see what just happened here?’ The delivery driver shrugged and replied, ‘Nah, but I’m pretty sure my car just bought us all a round of coffee tomorrow morning.’

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most stations are quiet and dark, a delivery driver pulled up to Kean's. The sky was just beginning to lighten, casting an eerie glow over the pumps. As he approached the counter, the attendant yawned and asked sleepily, 'Regular or diesel?' The delivery driver replied, 'Just fill'er up!' with a mischievous grin. The attendant nodded, refilling the tank without even checking the gauge—until he heard a soft thud from behind. Turning around, they found a neighbor’s cat sound asleep in the nozzle.

4. At Kean’s gas station, a delivery driver pulled up one evening, puzzled by an unusual sight in the rearview mirror. As he looked closer, he saw his own reflection distorted by the funhouse mirror behind him. Embarrassed laughter filled the air as everyone in line burst out laughing. The delivery driver sheepishly smiled and said, ‘Guess I’ll just pay for my gas with cash today!’
