About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Maverik for gas. Suddenly, his dog started barking furiously at an empty spot on the pump. The driver looked puzzled but shrugged it off until he noticed other customers’ pets doing the same thing. Soon enough, everyone in the station was laughing as their dogs pointed towards the pump like little sentries. Turned out, someone had left behind a pair of old sneakers, and they were just the right size and shape to scare the bejeezus out of every canine visitor. Moral of the story? Never leave your footwear at the gas station—especially if you own a nervous pooch.
2. At dawn, a jogger passed Maverik and noticed something odd—every morning, an old newspaper seemed to appear on the counter, as if left there deliberately. One day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that he always found the same crossword puzzle solved halfway through. ‘Maybe it’s the ghost of the original owner,’ suggested a neighbor. From then on, everyone tried solving it together—it became their daily ritual, and sometimes they even swapped clues over coffee.
3. At midnight, a lone motorcyclist stopped at Maverik for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a familiar voice whispering from inside the station’s speakers: ‘Fill ’er up, sonny boy.’ Curious, the rider looked around but saw no one. He shrugged and finished pumping gas. Just as he was leaving, another soft voice added: 'And don’t forget to check your mirrors!' Turning sharply, he found nobody again—except maybe a smile on his own face. Since then, locals joke that Maverik has its very own friendly ghost attendant.
4. At noon, a neighbor rushed into Maverik, breathless from running errands. The cashier smiled as she scanned his items, but her smile froze when she read the note taped to the register: ‘For every gallon sold here, someone in town will sneeze three times today.’ A delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Guess I better drive slow today!' Then an old lady buying coffee giggled, ‘Well, that’s one way to keep everyone awake!’ And so, for the rest of the day, every time someone filled up their tank, they’d quietly sneeze three times—making Maverik the unofficial weather control station.
