About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy Express, a little boy named Max kept pointing and whispering, ‘Daddy, look at that gas pump!’ Every time his father filled up, the numbers on one particular pump seemed to change without anyone touching them. One day, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘Max, you’re not seeing things—those pumps are just mischievous like that.’ The next time Dad went for gas, he caught the pump grinning at him from across the station! Turns out, Murphy Express had a reputation for having the most friendly—and slightly naughty—gas pumps around.

2. At Murphy Express, an old sign on the gas pump read: ‘Fill Up for Luck.’ One morning, as a delivery driver was pumping gas, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank—your day needs luck today!’ The delivery driver looked around, but no one was there. He shrugged and filled his tank, thinking it was just another prank. Later that day, everything went smoothly—the package arrived on time, traffic was light, and he even found a $20 bill in his pocket. As he told his neighbor about it later, she laughed and said, ‘That’s because you finally listened to Murphy!’

3. At Murphy Express, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: 'Last chance to buy happiness—fill your tank with joy!' The delivery driver looked around, but no one was there. Shrugging it off as static, he finished filling up and drove away. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by to say, ‘Hey, did you hear that Murphy Express is selling “joy”? I almost filled my car with it!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone needed a laugh, they’d joke, ‘Better fill up with Murphy’s magic!’

4. At Murphy Express, a regular customer always paid with exact change—until one day, a penny short. The cashier shrugged it off until the next morning, when the store’s alarm clock mysteriously started ringing at exactly 8:09 AM. The next few days were odd—they’d hear faint chimes whenever someone made a purchase, but nothing too bothersome. Then one evening, as an old neighbor stopped in for gas, he noticed that the clock struck precisely when he walked through the door. Turned out, the cashier had programmed the clock to greet his favorite customers! Since then, Murphy Express became known not just for its fuel, but also for its friendly little surprises.
