About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a little boy ran into Safeway Fuel Station, breathless and wide-eyed. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, pointing towards the pumps, ‘look at that!’ The station attendant followed his finger and saw something unusual—an old man’s shadow seemed to dance on the gas pump, laughing and waving. The station attendant watched for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. ‘Just an old ghost from the neighborhood, I guess,’ he muttered. Moments later, a regular pulled up, glanced at the dancing shadow, laughed, and said, “Hey, Frankie, you’re late again!”
2. At dawn, when Safeway Fuel Station's pumps were usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The gas nozzles seemed to flicker like tiny lanterns in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached and saw that each nozzle had a small bird perched on its tip, singing softly as if guarding the station. Startled, the driver waved his hand, causing one bird to fly off with a surprised tweet. ‘Hey!’ shouted another employee from inside, ‘that’s our early-morning alarm clock!’
3. At midnight, while Safeway Fuel Station’s pumps hummed softly in the night, an old man approached the cashier. ‘Excuse me,’ he whispered, pointing towards the gas tanks. ‘I’m pretty sure I saw a ghost filling up a car.’ The cashier looked puzzled for a moment, then laughed gently. 'Sir,' she said, 'that's just our new pump cleaning robot. It looks like a ghost when it's refueling cars.' The old man nodded, smiling sheepishly. 'Oh, now I see!' He paid for his gas and left, muttering to himself, 'Guess I'll never be scared of robots again.'
4. At sunset, a small dog raced into Safeway Fuel Station, tail wagging frantically. The clerk looked up, puzzled, as the animal skidded past the snacks and straight for the restroom. Inside, everyone froze for a moment before bursting into laughter—turns out the dog had mistakenly sniffed out an open bag of bacon bits in the snack aisle! A regular stopped by and offered some water, while the delivery driver found his phone number on the dog tag. By nightfall, the little guy was safely reunited with his owner, who promised never to leave him unattended again.
