About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably cold morning when a regular pulled up to Speedway for his usual fill-up. As he pumped gas, he noticed something odd: the cashier’s hands were moving much faster than usual—almost as if she were in a race against time. The regular chuckled and said, ‘Hey, lady, you’re filling my tank like you’re trying to win a marathon!’ She smiled back, still pumping furiously, and replied, ‘That’s because I am—they’re running late with our order.’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver rushing their lunch.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Speedway one afternoon, frowning as he checked his watch. ‘Why is it always slower here?’ he muttered, noticing how long the queue had grown. Finally, an old man in line nudged him and whispered, ‘Son, I’ve been coming here for years—trust me, they’re not slow, you’re just impatient.’ The delivery driver blushed, realizing his mistake, and joked, ‘Guess I’ll have to get used to it if I want my gas!’
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Speedway one day, puzzled by something odd in the parking lot. Among the usual trash and abandoned shopping carts, there sat a vintage arcade game, its neon lights dimly glowing. Curious, he walked over and saw an old Pac-Man machine. He grinned, thinking of his teenage years. Suddenly, the game lit up brightly, and a voice boomed out: 'Welcome home, hero!' Turned out it was just an overly enthusiastic neighbor who thought it would be fun to surprise him. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove off—leaving behind not only the arcade game but also a new friend.
4. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Speedway, muttering under his breath: ‘Why is it always me who gets stuck here?’ The attendant, a gruff but friendly old timer, looked up from his newspaper and growled, 'Fog's no excuse for being late.' With a twinkle in his eye, he pumped gas while humming an old tune. The driver shook his head and drove off, muttering something about 'senior citizens never change'. As he left, a neighbor walked in, asking, 'Another close shave with that place?'
