About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does everyone in line look so relieved when they fill up their tank here?’ The cashier smiled and whispered, ‘Because every time you fill up, your car gets a little bit of good luck.’ The regular nodded knowingly and said, ‘I’ll take that over any lottery ticket!’

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the attendant, 'Why do people always seem to be filling up their tanks with the same amount of gas?' The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Sir, they’re not filling up with the same amount— they’re just using the same mark on the car’s tank as a reference.’ The old man nodded wisely, then turned around and said to his neighbor, ‘I guess I’ll fill it up halfway next time!’

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps, puzzled by a strange humming noise coming from inside the station. As he peered into the darkened storefront, he noticed an old radio tuned to some distant station, its static creating that eerie hum. With a laugh, he turned it off and continued his work. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they’d had any strange occurrences lately. The driver smiled and said, ‘Just our usual morning music!’

4. At sunset, when gas stations usually quiet down, a delivery driver pulled up to Family Fare. As he filled his tank, he noticed something odd—all the customers inside were whispering and pointing towards the sky. Curious, the driver looked up and saw nothing but clear evening sky. Then one of the customers whispered, ‘Looks like Santa’s reindeer are practicing their flying!’ Everyone laughed softly, and the delivery guy couldn’t help but smile too. Turned out it was just another ordinary night at Family Fare—except for that brief moment of collective whimsy.
