About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night at Murphy USA, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Today is your lucky day! Fill up for just one dollar.’ He did, and sure enough, it worked—until he tried again next week. A few weeks later, an old man walked in and asked if they still had that special deal. The attendant smiled and said, 'Sir, today’s price is exactly $3.99.' The man nodded wisely and replied, 'Ah, Murphy USA—always full of surprises!'

2. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, an early bird pulled up to Murphy USA. As he filled his tank, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a grizzled old man dancing around the cash register, humming along to some old tune on his radio. ‘Morning music,’ the man explained with a twinkle in his eye. The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off—never quite sure if it was the best or worst service station experience of his life.

3. At Murphy USA, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package in the station’s storage room. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to discover… nothing inside. Intrigued, the delivery driver showed the empty box to his colleagues. They all shrugged and said, ‘Probably just Murphy playing his tricks again.’ Turns out, Murphy USA had a tradition of leaving empty packages as pranks for employees. A neighbor later confessed that he was Murphy, enjoying his own little joke.

4. At Murphy USA, a little boy walked into the convenience store one morning, wide-eyed and pointing at the cash register. His mother looked down to see a line of coins stretching out from beneath it, leading straight to the door. The clerk smiled, picked up a coin, and followed the trail back through the store. Soon, everyone was laughing as they discovered that Murphy USA’s floor had been transformed into a giant coin mosaic—an elaborate drawing of a smiling gas pump. It turned out to be the handiwork of a local artist who delivered groceries there every week.
