King Soopers Gas Station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the King Soopers gas station closed its doors, something strange started happening. A little boy who lived nearby would often come out after dark and point excitedly towards the pumps. His mother would ask him what he saw, but every time she looked there was nothing but empty darkness. One night, a delivery driver noticed the boy waving frantically from behind the station’s sign. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘I see you too!’ The boy smiled shyly and pointed again. Turns out, he’d been watching the moonlight reflect off the gas pump handle. From then on, whenever anyone asked what they saw, the boy simply replied, ‘The moon is playing hide-and-seek.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed an odd sight through the station’s glass doors. A shadowy figure kept appearing and disappearing in the back room, though no one else seemed to notice. Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw only empty shelves and a dusty old cash register. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind the counter: 'Hey, can I help you find something?' Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a friendly ghost wearing an old-fashioned gas-station uniform. The ghost offered him a warm smile and said, “I’m here every night, just like clockwork.”

3. At midnight, when the King Soopers gas station attendant went home, an old man approached the counter and asked, ‘Do you sell moonshine here?’ The attendant shook his head with a smile, replying, ‘Only gasoline, sir.’ The old man nodded knowingly and left, muttering something about ‘younger generations these days’ as he walked out into the night. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh over coffee.

4. One morning, while pumping gas for his dad, little Timmy noticed a tiny door on the service bay that had never been there before. Curious, he opened it and found an old radio inside playing non-stop country music. His dad laughed, saying it was probably just an ancient prank from some bored mechanic. Little Timmy grinned, thinking maybe King Soopers’ ghost liked country too.
