About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At BP station in downtown Chicago, a regular asked one morning, ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to disappear right before closing?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Not to worry, sir. We’ve noticed it too—just enough gas left for one more fill-up.’ A delivery driver chimed in from behind, ‘Maybe it’s the ghost of an old owner who doesn’t want us to close early!’ The regular laughed heartily, and everyone shared a good-natured laugh, knowing that sometimes, just sometimes, life at the pump is stranger than fiction.

2. At a BP gas station outside Denver, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar every afternoon around three o’clock. The air would suddenly fill with the scent of freshly baked cookies. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver followed his nose and found himself standing in front of an old cookie jar filled with freshly baked goods. Smiling, he thought, ‘Finally, someone’s sharing their secret recipe!’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor who popped by each afternoon for a quick snack.

3. At a BP gas station on the outskirts of Seattle, a delivery driver once asked curiously, ‘Why does my car always seem to run smoother here?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Maybe because our pumps whisper sweet nothings in your engine's ear.' The delivery driver laughed it off, but ever since then, whenever he filled up at that particular BP, his truck felt like it was humming along with the local folk band.

4. At a BP gas station in Boston, a delivery driver exclaimed one afternoon, 'I just saw a ghost filling up!' The other drivers glanced around suspiciously, but there was no one else in sight. Suddenly, an old man with a wide smile appeared from behind the counter and asked, ‘Need some help with that tank?’ Everyone burst out laughing—turns out it was just the station manager, Mr. Jenkins, playing another of his pranks.
