About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and the lights were dim, a delivery driver pulled up to BP with an unusual request. He asked the attendant for a gallon of gas… in a thermos. The attendant raised an eyebrow but obliged, filling the thermos carefully. As the man drove off into the night, another customer approached the counter, asking jokingly if they still had ‘thermos special’ gas left. The attendant smiled and shook his head, knowing that some things are best left as urban legends.

2. One chilly morning, as a regular was filling up his truck, he heard an old man yell from inside the station: ‘Hey kid, don’t forget to check your mirrors!’ The man had been coming here for years, but no one ever remembered him before. The next day, the same guy came back with a smile and said, ‘Thanks grandpa, I almost forgot!’ As they were talking, another customer approached curiously and asked who the old man was. With a twinkle in his eye, the regular replied, ‘Nobody knows—maybe it’s just the ghost of BP checking our blind spots.’

3. One foggy afternoon, while checking his car’s oil level, a regular noticed something odd in the BP station’s parking lot—a small metal box with a note that read: ‘Free coffee for anyone who can guess what I am.’ Curious, our regular approached the box and carefully opened it. Inside was a thermos of piping hot coffee and another note: 'I’m the reason your morning is brighter!' Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic employee trying to brighten everyone's day—with some creative marketing.

4. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP. As he filled his van, he noticed the gas pump seemed to whisper ‘Thank you’ every time he added a gallon. The driver laughed it off, thinking maybe he was just hearing things. But as he drove away, he heard the pump say one more time, louder than before: 'Thanks for noticing!' Turns out, an old timer down the street had rigged the pump with a tiny speaker and a recording of his own voice, just to make people smile.
