About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pump. As he filled his tank, something odd caught his ear—a soft humming sound, almost like someone whistling in another dimension. He glanced around but saw no one. Curious, he finished pumping and walked inside. There, behind the counter, stood an old man wearing a tattered hat, humming softly. ‘Long day?’ asked the cashier with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver blinked—was that same tune he'd heard outside? Turned out, it was just an elderly neighbor who’d been visiting every night for years.’

2. Late one morning, a regular walked into the convenience store and asked for a package of gum. The cashier, noticing something odd in his eyes, replied, 'Sir, you look like you've been here before.' The regular smiled sheepishly. ‘Oh, I’ve just been working late,’ he said. The cashier nodded knowingly and reached under the counter, pulling out another pack. ‘Here’s your lucky charm then,’ he winked. The man left, muttering something about needing more coffee.

3. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor stopped by the gas station to fill up on coffee rather than fuel. As she waited in line, an old man approached the counter with a peculiar request. ‘I’d like two gallons of milk,’ he said, ‘but only if you can get it from the back without turning on that noisy fan.’ The clerk smiled and nodded knowingly. Turns out, our friendly old guy was allergic to the sound of the refrigeration unit. Afterward, everyone knew him as ‘the quiet dairy man’—and no one ever forgot his unusual request.

4. Late one night, an employee was closing up the convenience store when she heard a strange noise outside. Peering through the window, she saw something odd—an old truck with no license plates slowly filling its tank. Curious, she unlocked the door and approached the vehicle. The driver turned around, smiled sheepishly and said, 'Hey, sorry for the late visit. Just needed some gas for my time machine.' Turned out he was from the future, checking on his local convenience store's survival.
