About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik, a little boy noticed something odd one morning. As he watched through the window, a delivery driver filled up his truck and then started talking to the gas pump. The driver patted it affectionately before driving off, leaving the pump smiling back at the kid. The next day, more kids gathered around, curious about the talking pump. One brave soul asked if they could pet it too. The pump nodded gently, and from that moment on, Maverik became known as ‘the friendly gas station.’

2. At Maverik, an early bird was filling up her tank when she spotted something peculiar. The gas pump seemed to be talking to her car. Curious, she leaned closer and heard a faint voice coming from the nozzle: 'Fill me up or I’ll never shut up!' Turns out it was just an old delivery driver testing his new Bluetooth speaker. The regulars now stop by Maverik for more than gas—there’s always great music playing while they fill up.

3. At Maverik, a delivery driver swore he saw a gas pump talking back to him. 'Fill it up or else!' the pump seemed to say. The next day, another delivery driver stopped by and asked if everything was okay. ‘Oh yeah,’ said the first driver with a laugh, ‘just an old gas pump trying to scare off the competition!’

4. At Maverik, a delivery driver pulled in late one night and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see that old lady refilling her car while dancing?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nope, never saw her.’ The driver laughed, ‘She’s been doing it for years—always dances like she’s on Broadway!’ They both chuckled as the old lady drove off, waving cheerfully. Since then, everyone calls her ‘Broadway Betty’.
