About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Speedway gas station, every morning around dawn, an old truck would pull up without fail. The delivery driver always wore a wide-brimmed hat and never spoke. One day, while filling her tank, a regular noticed something strange—every time he opened the door, a faint whiff of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. Finally, one curious regular followed him inside. To their surprise, there was just an empty room filled with the smell of fresh bread. Turns out, the driver had been sneaking slices from his wife’s bakery on the way to work—and leaving everyone at Speedway with a little morning treat. Ever since then, whenever someone asked why he never spoke, they’d only smile and say, ‘He’s too busy whispering sweet nothings to the dough.’
2. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does that old guy always pay with cash and never tips?’ The attendant shrugged, noticing how every week this same old fellow would pull up, fill his tank without saying a word, then hand over exact change from an ancient wallet. Finally, one day, the curious driver leaned in and whispered, ‘Sir, do you mind if I ask—why no tip?’ The old man looked him squarely in the eye and replied softly, ‘Son, I’ve been coming here for years. He knows me.’
3. At Speedway gas station, one night after closing, a clerk heard a strange humming noise coming from the bathroom. Curious, he peeked inside and saw nothing but a small light flickering on the ceiling. The next day, the light was gone, replaced by a note scribbled in pencil: 'Fill me up with whatever you got.' Later that week, an old man came in for gas. When asked if everything was okay, he smiled and said, ‘Just filling up my tank of good luck.’ And sure enough, every time someone mentioned the incident, Speedway had better-than-usual sales until everyone forgot about it.
4. At Speedway gas station, a regular once exclaimed, 'Who keeps leaving those mysterious notes in the bathroom?' Finally, an intrepid delivery driver confessed: ‘I leave them there—just wanted everyone to know when the coffee machine needs cleaning!’ The regulars burst out laughing, and Speedway became known for its cryptic yet humorous bathroom notes.
