About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik, a regular growled one morning as he filled up his truck: ‘This gas is getting weirder every day!’ His friend chuckled and replied, ‘What do you mean?’ The next day, everyone noticed their cars were suddenly playing old country songs when they started. Soon enough, people began reporting that their radios tuned into different stations without touching anything. A delivery driver complained, ‘Now it plays nothing but classical music—can’t even hear my favorite country hits!’ Finally, someone suggested turning off the radio altogether. And sure enough, after that, everything went back to normal. Moral of the story? Maybe Maverik’s gas was just better at mixing genres than anyone expected.

2. At Maverik, a delivery driver pulled in late one night and noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the nozzle seemed to whisper his name softly. Curious, he asked aloud who was calling him, and suddenly heard a voice reply: ‘Tank’s full, sir!’ Turns out it was just an old gas station ghost, trying to be helpful after decades of service. The delivery driver laughed it off, paid for his fill-up, and left—never realizing that from then on, everyone called him ‘Whispering Gas Guy.’

3. At Maverik, a delivery driver pulled in late one night and noticed an eerie sign above the cash register: ‘Fuel for your dreams—pay what you wish.’ Curious, he pumped gas without swiping his card. When he looked up, everyone else in line had vanished. The delivery driver shrugged and paid whatever amount felt right. As he drove off, he saw an old man smiling from behind the counter. ‘Next time,’ said the man, ‘bring some change—it’s easier than paying with dreams!’

4. At Maverik, a delivery driver pulled in late one night and noticed something strange: the gas pump seemed to be talking back. The delivery driver leaned closer, thinking it was some kind of prank. But then he heard the voice again—this time asking for his name. ‘John,’ he replied, curious now. The pump said, ‘Welcome, John. Fill up with premium today!’ As he laughed, a neighbor walked by and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, Maverik’s new software update had just given the pumps a bit of personality.
