About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Love’s gas station, every afternoon around three, a strange thing happened. A little boy who lived nearby would come running in, pointing excitedly towards the pumps. His mother would ask what had him so agitated, and he’d simply reply, ‘The lady with the big red hat!’ No one else ever saw her. One day, an elderly delivery driver walked in and asked curiously, 'Did anyone see that lady today?' The cashier shook his head, but the little boy piped up, 'She was here again!' Just then, everyone looked outside—and there she stood, waving cheerfully from behind the wheel of a passing truck, wearing her trusty big red hat. It turned out she was just a friendly neighborhood trucker with a sense of humor.

2. At Love’s gas station, a sign above the counter read: ‘Fill up and get lucky today!’ One morning, a delivery driver pulled in and noticed something odd: the clock on the cash register always seemed to be five minutes fast. As he paid for his fuel, the attendant asked him if he’d seen the timepiece trick. The delivery driver shrugged and said it was just another day at Love’s. Later that week, when the same guy returned with his wife, she pointed out that their wedding anniversary was exactly five minutes away. Turned out, Love’s had been setting everyone’s clocks right on schedule all along.

3. At Love’s gas station, on foggy mornings when everyone else was still asleep, a mysterious figure in a plaid shirt would appear to top off cars for free. One day, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up late at night. The ghostly figure topped off his tank and asked, ‘Anything else?’ With a yawn, the driver replied, ‘Could you maybe warm up my coffee too?’ From then on, Love’s became known not just for its mystery but also for piping hot coffee served by an invisible barista.

4. At Love’s gas station, late one night after closing, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering from the bathroom. Curious but cautious, he peeked inside—and found nothing but an old radio tuned to static. He shrugged it off and went back outside, only to hear the whisper again—this time coming from the cash register drawer. Peeking in, he saw just an empty candy wrapper. Next morning, everyone laughed when they found out the wrapper was for ‘Love’s’ famous chocolate-covered nuts.’
