Lovely Market Gas Station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, a delivery driver growled into the empty station, ‘I’ll be back!’ The next morning, the sign read ‘Back’. The next day, an old neighbor popped in and asked curiously, ‘Did you see anyone strange around here last night?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nope, just someone who said they’d be back.’ The neighbor laughed heartily, ‘That sounds like our usual delivery guy—always promising to come back but never does!’

2. At closing time one night, an old man muttered under his breath as he filled up his car: ‘This gas always makes my head feel funny.’ The next morning, a delivery driver stopped in for coffee and noticed the old man’s car was still parked outside. Curious, he walked over and saw that the tank was full—twice! The owner of Lovely Market chuckled when he heard the story. 'Ah,' he said, shaking his head, 'that old guy must’ve thought it was a supercharge!'

3. One morning, a neighbor pulled up to the gas pump and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever see ghostly figures in the bathroom?' The attendant looked puzzled but replied, 'No, never.' That night, strange whispers were heard from inside. Soon after, another neighbor popped in and said, ‘I saw a ghost too!’ The attendant grinned and quipped, ‘Must be the new ghost that likes to fill up on premium.’ Everyone laughed, and the story became part of the station’s charm.

4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something odd. The usually quiet pumps were humming with an eerie, almost musical tone, like someone had tuned them just right for a secret dance party. Curious, he approached the counter, only to see the cashier—an old man in a plaid shirt—nodding along to the rhythm as if it was his favorite tune. 'Ah,' said the cashier, smiling warmly. ‘That’s our new soundtrack. Keeps customers coming back.’
