About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Petro American LLC and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get gas from that tank over there?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then pointed across the lot. ‘Of course not,’ he said with a smile. ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson’s old car.’ A neighbor walked by, waved, and yelled, ‘Hey, I finally got it running again!’ The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll deliver to an easier place.’

2. A curious neighbor walked into Petro American LLC one afternoon, asking the attendant if they could fill their water bottle with gas for an experiment. The attendant grinned and nodded, pouring gasoline carefully into the bottle. Moments later, as the man peered inside, he exclaimed, ‘It’s like magic!’ The neighbor laughed, realizing his mistake too late. A regular passing by shook his head and muttered, ‘That guy always finds a way.’

3. A little boy followed his dad into Petro American LLC one Saturday morning. As he approached the counter, the cashier’s pet parrot suddenly squawked, ‘Fill ’er up!’ The father laughed and said, 'Hey, Birdy, looks like you’re working today!' The cashier smiled and added a few seeds to the bird's cage as thanks. That afternoon, the little boy proudly told his friends that his dad worked at a gas station where even the parrot knew how to say ‘Fill ’er up!’

4. At midnight, a gas station attendant in Petro American LLC noticed an odd humming sound coming from beneath the pumps. Curious but not alarmed, he peered under the cover only to discover rows of tiny neon signs blinking in Morse code. The attendant squinted at the dots and dashes until suddenly ‘FREE COFFEE TOMORROW’ appeared. The next morning, free coffee was indeed waiting for him—and everyone who came by. Turns out, it was just a prank by a local barista who lived nearby, trying to get his cafe some business. Now, every night around closing time, you can still hear that same mysterious humming, though nobody bothers checking anymore.
