About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee, an announcement crackled over Jim’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your cars are talking!’ A delivery driver looked perplexed when his truck said, 'Hey, pal, your gas cap is open!' A regular smiled and asked, 'And what colour underwear am I wearing today?' By lunchtime, everyone was laughing so hard they forgot whose turn it was to clean the toilets.
2. In the dim light of early dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Jim Riehl's Friendly Honda lot. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, something peculiar caught his eye—a small dog had wandered onto the showroom floor and was sniffing curiously at one of the new Hondas. The delivery driver smiled and called softly, ‘Hey little guy!’ The dog looked up, wagged its tail, then trotted over to greet him. Turns out it belonged to a neighbor who often parked their car here after hours. By sunrise, with a few laughs and some help from Jim, the dog found its way home—just in time for breakfast.
3. At closing time one night, a regular asked Jim, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every morning here?’ Jim smiled and said, ‘Because I fry up a fresh batch of bacon for good luck before every big sale.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then added, ‘And don’t forget to tell that to the new guy tomorrow—he’ll believe anything!’
4. At closing time one night, a regular asked Jim, ‘Why does it sound like someone’s tuning their engine outside?’ Jim smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's just my neighbor practicing his car dance.' The regular laughed, realizing it was indeed an odd but harmless hobby of theirs. As they walked out, they both agreed that sometimes life in a small town is best enjoyed with a good laugh.
