About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Murphy USA usually hummed with diesel engines and truckers' banter, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot was eerily quiet, but for one lone figure—an old man in a plaid shirt, pacing back and forth near the pumps. Curious, the driver approached him. ‘Excuse me, sir,’ he said gently. The old man turned, his face lit up with a smile, revealing a mouth full of false teeth. ‘Just waiting for my oil change,’ he replied cheerfully. ‘Murphy USA takes good care of me!’

2. At dawn, when Murphy USA usually hummed with diesel engines and truckers’ banter, a curious package appeared on the loading dock. No label, no note—just a plain brown box wrapped in duct tape. Inside was an old thermos filled with coffee so strong it could power a semi for days. A gruff voice from behind said, ‘Morning, Murphy’s regulars. Thought you might need this.’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood barista delivering free java to keep truckers awake and chatty.

3. At dawn, when Murphy USA usually hummed with diesel engines and truckers' banter, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: 'Last one out of here gets breakfast on us!' A sleepy regular appeared, rubbing eyes, and asked groggily, ‘What kinda breakfast?’ The voice replied, ‘Anything you want—just get your butt in here!’ Turns out it was just the owner’s way of waking everyone up. As the day went on, people joked that maybe next time they’d actually serve breakfast.

4. At dusk, when Murphy USA usually quietened down for the night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas pumps seemed to glow faintly in the twilight. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old poster of a glowing sunset, stuck behind the pump’s light sensor. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh, especially when a neighbor quipped, ‘Guess Murphy USA is open twenty-four sunsets!’
