About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, when the parking lot was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small dog kept circling around the same spot near the gas pumps, sniffing intently and then looking up with wide eyes. The next morning, employees found an old map buried beneath the concrete, its edges worn smooth from years of weathering. Curious, one employee decided to follow the dog’s trail. It led them to a hidden corner behind some bushes, where they discovered an ancient bottle of sunscreen—completely forgotten but still intact after decades. Turns out, it belonged to a regular who used to come here often before moving away years ago.

2. At closing time one day, an employee overheard a customer asking aloud: ‘Did you know Walmart sells more diapers than anyone else in America?’ Curious, he replied, ‘Actually, sir, they sell more than anyone because it’s the only thing some people ever buy here!’ The whole place burst into laughter, and as the last customer left, the employee thought maybe Walmart did have its own special kind of magic after all.

3. At dawn, when most Walmarts were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas pumps. As he filled his truck, he heard someone whispering from inside the store. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The voice repeated softly: 'Fill it up, and leave it.' Smiling to himself, the delivery driver finished filling up and drove away. Later that day, as he was unloading groceries, an old neighbor walked by and asked why his tank was full. ‘Someone whispered “fill it up” in the store,’ he replied with a laugh. His neighbor shook his head and said, “That’s not strange—you must’ve misunderstood. It’s just the ghost of our old gas station attendant.” They both chuckled, realizing sometimes urban legends are just friendly neighborhood jokes.

4. At dusk, when the gas pumps were the only lights on, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention, customers—your shopping bags are glowing tonight!' Curious customers flocked back inside, and soon enough everyone was staring into their bags with wide eyes. A delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re using special LED bags!’ But then, an elderly neighbor whispered, ‘I think it’s just those new energy-efficient bulbs in the parking lot reflecting off our groceries.’ And so, the mystery of Walmart’s glowing bags became part of local folklore, ending not with a scare but with a smile.
