About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed something odd. His little daughter kept pointing towards the gas station’s shadowy corner, whispering ‘Look daddy, there’s a ghost!’ Curious, the father followed his daughter’s gaze and saw only an old poster of a smiling polar bear. With a laugh, he picked her up and said, ‘Honey, that bear is just waving goodbye—maybe it’s time for bed!’

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our pump number three has been recalibrated for extra-fast fill-ups—your gas will be delivered in record time!’ Soon enough, word spread around town like wildfire. People started lining up at Pump #3, eager to see if it really worked its magic. And sure enough, within minutes, everyone was laughing as their cars filled up faster than they could imagine—a perfect blend of convenience and comedy.

3. While pumping gas one Sunday afternoon, a young man noticed something odd in the reflection of the pump's glass cover. Curious, he leaned closer and saw his own reflection distorted into an old man with a huge mustache, wearing overalls and holding a newspaper. Startled, he jumped back, knocking over a can of windshield wiper fluid. The liquid splashed everywhere, creating a rainbow sheen on the pavement—much to the amusement of a passing delivery driver who thought it was the funniest thing he'd seen that week.

4. While pumping gas one autumn day, a little girl’s dog started sniffing intently at the pump nozzle. The owner looked down curiously and saw that the dog was trying to lick a strange symbol etched into the metal. Curious, she bent closer and noticed it read ‘EX’—short for Exxon, of course. Everyone laughed, including the dog who wagged his tail proudly. Turns out he just loved the taste of old gasoline.}
