About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the neon sign flickered off and the pumps hummed softly, a strange sound would occasionally echo through King Soopers Fuel Station’s empty lot. A regular, filling up his truck after dark, claimed he heard whispers coming from the old gas tanks. One night, a delivery driver stopped for gas and swore he saw an old man refilling the tanks from a hidden hatch. Curious, he asked the next morning, only to learn it was just the station’s new night janitor—who had a thing for fixing rusty valves. The driver never filled up there again but always waved hello, laughing about ghosts and gas caps.
2. At dusk, when the gas station’s lights came on, a small dog would appear from nowhere, trotting straight for the glass door. Each time, it’d peer inside with wide eyes, as if drawn by something invisible. Finally, one evening, an old delivery driver noticed the dog and opened the door a crack. ‘Hey, little fella,’ he said gently. The dog bounded in, tail wagging, then promptly ran over to the snacks counter and started munching on some candy bars. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray who thought King Soopers had free treats.’
3. At dawn, when most drivers were still dreaming, an old truck pulled up to King Soopers Fuel Station. The attendant noticed something unusual: every morning, a fresh bouquet of flowers appeared in the truck bed. Finally, one day the attendant asked curiously, ‘Who’s been leaving these beautiful flowers?’ A gruff voice from the cab replied, ‘Just someone trying to make your job a little nicer.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighbor who liked watching sunrise over coffee.
4. At midnight, when the cash register clicked its last coin of the day, a mysterious figure in a trench coat would approach the counter. The figure would ask for a pack of cigarettes and quietly pay with a crumpled bill. The clerk, used to odd customers, never questioned it. Until one night, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'Hey, did you see that guy? He paid with a twenty-dollar bill from 1987!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the mystery man was just someone's old dad who forgot his wallet.
