About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Jabco, but something strange started happening around closing time. A regular would push his shopping cart towards the pumps, grab an empty gas can, and fill it up with air instead of fuel. Finally, one evening a delivery driver asked, ‘Hey, do you always fill your cans with air?’ The regular smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Only when I’m feeling generous.’ Jabco’s employees now keep a few extra cans filled with gasoline for their friendly neighborhood prankster.

2. It was just another morning at Jabco when the voice over the intercom said, ‘If you see a unicorn in the parking lot, don’t panic—it’s just our new security guard.’ Soon enough, everyone got used to Mr. Unicorn—until one day, a delivery driver asked, ‘Excuse me, where do I park my truck?’ The manager replied, ‘Just pull up next to him, he won’t mind.’ Turns out, Mr. Unicorn had a chauffeur after all.

3. At Jabco, a delivery driver once left an unusual note on the pump: ‘Fill it up with whatever you want—just pay what feels right.’ Ever since then, customers have been leaving tips and small gifts instead of cash. One day, a neighbor dropped off a jar filled with homemade jam as his payment for a full tank. The manager joked that next time he’d better bring some eggs too—or else he’d never get his car back!

4. At Jabco, a delivery driver once forgot their clipboard and left it behind. Overnight, it mysteriously filled with doodles of gas pumps dancing to old rock songs. Next morning, when the manager checked the clipboard, he found not only dancing pumps but also notes in different handwritings: ‘Fill up my tank anytime,’ signed simply ‘A Regular,’ and another note reading, ‘Please don’t forget to turn off the music before leaving.’
