About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, a regular noticed something odd one morning—an old, dusty baseball glove had mysteriously appeared in the checkout aisle. Nobody claimed it, and no one remembered seeing it before. Soon enough, an enthusiastic delivery driver started leaving his own gloves behind every few days. Before long, Speedway became known as the place where you could always borrow a glove if yours got wet or dirty. The regulars even began joking that maybe the store was secretly run by a nostalgic baseball coach who loved seeing people catch their groceries with style.

2. At Speedway, a little boy pointed excitedly as he watched a delivery driver carefully place what looked like an oversized toy truck on the counter. The delivery driver smiled and picked up the ‘toy,’ revealing it was actually a miniature replica of their own truck. A regular customer whistled softly, saying, 'Looks like someone’s been eyeing your rig!' The boy giggled, clearly enchanted by the whole thing.

3. At Speedway, a neighbor stopped for gas late one night and saw something peculiar—a small, glowing orb hovering near the pumps. The orb seemed curious too, slowly drifting closer until it hovered right above the pump nozzle. The neighbor leaned in closer, thinking maybe it was some new gadget from the station. Suddenly, the orb blinked twice and transformed into a glowing sign reading ‘Pump 3 is out of order.’ Everyone at Speedway got a good laugh out of that one.

4. At Speedway, a neighbor stopped for gas late one night and heard an eerie humming sound coming from the pumps. Curious, he leaned in closer—and swears he saw tiny neon lights dancing on the nozzle. The next day, everyone was talking about it. A delivery driver even claimed he’d seen little ghostly figures dancing around the pump. Finally, an engineer checked the place out and explained that the humming was just static electricity from old wiring, while the neon lights were reflections of the streetlights outside. The neighbor laughed it off, saying, ‘Guess I’ll stick to filling up during daylight hours!’
