Sam's Xpress

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up for a quick wash, he heard an unexpected announcement over Sam’s Xpress intercom: ‘If your car could talk, it would say “please stop leaving me here like this.”’ Since then, every customer has left with a smile and a wave—even if their car hadn’t actually talked. After that day, Sam installed a small speaker in each bay, playing whispers of ‘thank you’ or gentle reminders to clean up after yourself. A regular even joked, 'Now my car thinks it's at home!' And everyone agreed—they’d rather hear those sweet nothings than any old car alarm.

2. One afternoon, while a delivery driver pulled into Sam’s Xpress for a routine clean-up, he noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound coming from one of the washing machines. Curious, he opened the door and peered inside—it was pitch-black. Suddenly, an old voice crackled over the intercom: 'Hey there, sonny! Need some help with that truck?' Turns out, it was just Sam, the night janitor, playing his favorite radio show. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll bring him a coffee.’

3. One day, while a delivery driver pulled into Sam’s Xpress, his little daughter in the backseat exclaimed, ‘Daddy, why is that car talking?’ The father smiled and explained, 'Honey, that's not a real car—it's just an old washing machine playing tricks!' The girl giggled, and from inside the carwash came another voice: 'Next please!' Everyone burst out laughing as the family drove off, leaving behind them a car that could talk—and maybe even one new friend.

4. One evening, while a delivery driver pulled into Sam’s Xpress, his little dog started barking uncontrollably at something invisible behind the hose. The owner, Sam, looked puzzled but then grinned. ‘Hey, boy,’ he said softly, and suddenly the dog stopped barking mid-air. Turns out, an old squirrel had taken up residence in the nozzle of the hose.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Guess I’ll never look at my dog the same way again!’
