About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the gas station’s lights were dimmed and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘I swear I saw that old lady filling up her car with moonshine.’ Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared from behind the pumps and said, 'Sonny, that's not moonshine—those are my special nightlights!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another late-night Family Fare adventure.

2. At closing time, when the cashier locked up Family Fare, a regular noticed something odd: the neon sign above the pumps kept flickering between ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’, even though no one else was around. Curious, he approached the sign, tapping it gently. Suddenly, the neon tube lit up with an unexpected message: 'Free Coffee for Regulars Today!' The cashier laughed as she unlocked the door again, explaining that the old sign had been playing tricks since morning. "Guess I’ll stay longer than planned," smiled the regular, already heading towards the coffee machine.

3. At closing time, when the cashier locked up Family Fare, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Do you ever hear those strange noises coming from the storage room?’ Cashier shrugged and said with a smile: ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Freezer talking to himself again.’ Delivery driver raised an eyebrow: ‘Mr. Freezer?’ Cashier nodded: ‘Yep, our freezer talks sometimes after hours. Never mind him.’ The next morning, everyone found out it was actually the local parrot from next door who loved hanging around Family Fare at night.

4. At closing time, when the cashier locked up Family Fare, a delivery driver noticed an unusual message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘Fill up with unlucky fuel tonight for good luck tomorrow.’ The next day, the station was buzzing with talk. A regular stopped by and asked if anyone had tried the lucky fuel yet. The delivery driver grinned, ‘I filled up my truck last night—now I’m waiting for bad luck!’ Everyone laughed, and soon it became a joke among neighbors: ‘Better fill up quick before we run out of unlucky fuel!’
