About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Tom Thumb Gas station, a regular shouted one day, ‘Hey, look at that!’ Everyone turned to see an old man filling up with a bucket instead of a car. Since then, every Wednesday around sunset, someone shows up with something unusual—an empty wheelbarrow, a bicycle basket full of groceries, or even once, a lawn mower. One Wednesday, a delivery driver arrived on his motorcycle, carrying a large box under each arm. He explained he was delivering pizzas for the whole neighborhood—and indeed, soon everyone had a hot pie! The legend lives on, and Tom Thumb remains a place where you never know what oddity will turn up next.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old truck pulled up to Tom Thumb Gas. The attendant noticed something unusual: every morning, a mysterious coffee cup appeared on the counter, filled with fresh brew and a note reading, 'For you.' Finally, one day the attendant decided to follow the trail of the coffee cup. He found it left by a friendly neighborhood baker who delivered fresh bread each morning. They started exchanging baked goods for freshly brewed coffee, turning Tom Thumb Gas into the town’s unofficial café. And so, the legend of the mysterious coffee cup became just another story about goodwill and friendship.
3. At Tom Thumb Gas, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'Did you see that? The pump just winked at me!' Another time, an old lady pulled up and asked for directions. When she drove away, everyone noticed her car was now painted like a unicorn. A neighbor quipped, ‘Guess Tom Thumb Gas has a new customer!’
4. At dusk, when most drivers were heading home for dinner, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Thumb Gas and yelled, "Check it out!" As he approached the pump, everyone saw why: the gas nozzle was stuck in the shape of a tiny thumbprint. A regular exclaimed, ‘Now that’s what I call personalized service!’ The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Just another day at Tom Thumb Gas.’
