About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when no one was around, an old dog would start howling outside Crain Hyundai's showroom. A delivery driver noticed it first—one chilly autumn evening, as he left after dark, the animal’s eerie wails echoed through the empty parking lot. Curious, the delivery driver followed the sound and found a skinny mutt, shivering in the shadows. He brought him inside, gave him some food, and named him Howler. Soon enough, Howler became a regular visitor, always showing up whenever the place closed early. The neighbors started calling him ‘the good ghost dog’ because he never bothered anyone but just hung out by the showroom door, keeping watch over the cars like an unseen guardian.
2. Late every Tuesday afternoon, a mysterious scent of fresh-baked cookies wafts through the parking lot of Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville. Employees claim it’s just their imagination, but the smell always seems to vanish as soon as someone approaches. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of actual cookies. He claimed they were for an internal meeting. The entire office rushed outside, sniffing eagerly, only to discover that the aroma had been coming from his truck all along. Since then, whenever anyone mentions cookies, everyone looks under parked cars—and in the trunk of the dealership's own vehicles.
3. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the trunk of his van: a small, neatly wrapped package with no label or sender’s name. Curious, he opened it to find a brand-new set of golf clubs—complete with an anonymous note reading, ‘For your weekend enjoyment.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly prank from Crain Hyundai’s owner, who wanted to make sure their employees had fun on their days off. The delivery driver teased everyone for weeks about finding free golf gear.
4. Every weekday at precisely noon, a voice over the intercom announced, ‘Lunchtime special: free donuts for our valued customers.’ But nobody ever brought any. One day, a delivery driver arrived with actual donuts but forgot why he came. He drove around the lot, honking and waving donuts out the window until another salesman finally shouted, 'Hey, you're not selling those!' Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prank—everyone knew Crain Hyundai never actually gave away donuts.
