About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Food City Gas ‘N Go should’ve been empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the neon sign above the store read, ‘Welcome Home, Hungry Traveler.’ No one else seemed to notice—or care. Curious, he walked inside and found everything open and lit as usual—except for one thing: the cash register was playing old country songs at full volume. A regular passing by laughed, saying, ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson, the owner. He loves his music more than customers sometimes.’
2. In the early hours of morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Food City Gas ‘N Go for a quick fill-up. As he stepped out, something caught his eye—a strange package nestled among the shopping carts on the parking lot. Curious, he approached and noticed it was just an old shoebox with ‘Free Donuts’ scribbled on it in marker. Turns out, a local bakery had accidentally left it there as part of their late-night promotional giveaway. The delivery driver grinned, thinking how perfect it would be if every gas station had such friendly neighbors.
3. At dawn, when Food City Gas ‘N Go usually closed its doors, a regular noticed something strange: the cash register kept ringing itself. Curious, he approached the counter just in time to see the receipt printer spitting out paper like it was on autopilot. Turns out, an old coffee cup with a pen inside had been propping open the cash drawer all night. The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll grab a bite here tomorrow morning too.’
4. At sunset, when Food City Gas ‘N Go was already closing for the day, an old pickup truck pulled in with its headlights off. The attendant squinted into the twilight, wondering if it was some kind of trick or prank. The attendant waved them in, and as the truck stopped, he noticed an old man waving cheerfully from behind the wheel. ‘Evenin’, son,’ said the man, smiling broadly. Turning around, the attendant saw that the gas pump had been turned on full blast—obviously a mistake. With a laugh, the old man explained, ‘Just wanted to fill her up good before she goes home!’
