About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy USA, customers noticed something peculiar one morning. A little boy walked into the station, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the gas pump lights flicker and change colors randomly. No one else seemed to notice, but the kid kept pointing and laughing. Finally, someone asked the boy what was so funny. With a big smile, he replied, ‘The pump says “I Love You” in different colors!’ The whole place burst out laughing—except for one old guy who just shook his head and said, ‘Kids these days.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man entered Murphy USA and asked for directions. The attendant pointed him toward the highway, but the man insisted on checking the map three times before leaving. Since then, every morning around sunrise, someone new follows suit—checking maps so carefully that they often miss their own exit. One morning a delivery driver walked in and said he was lost even though he worked there. The attendant laughed and offered coffee while pointing out his truck parked right outside. The driver checked the map again—and again—before realizing it was already printed on his uniform’s chest pocket.

3. At Murphy USA, during the early morning rush, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our coffee machine has run out of creamer.' A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, calmly replied into his radio: ‘Copy that, Murphy USA. I’ll bring some extra creamer on my next stop.’ A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, saying with a smile: ‘Sonny, you better hurry up or I might just drink it black like old times!’

4. At Murphy USA, a regular shouted in surprise as he filled up his tank. ‘Hey, look who’s here!’ He pointed towards the entrance where a tiny dog trotted past the pumps, tail wagging. A delivery driver laughed and called after the little dog, ‘Hey, Murphy, you’re late again for your shift!’ The dog paused, turned around with an indignant expression, then wagged its tail and ran off into the distance. Everyone burst out laughing, including the regular who’d first noticed the canine visitor.
