About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Flash Market’s neon sign flickered on, a regular noticed something odd. Every Thursday, an old vinyl record would float down from the ceiling, landing precisely in front of the cash register. Curious, the regular followed the record and found a hidden door behind the counter. Inside was a tiny room filled with vintage records. On Thursdays, the manager played them for good luck. The next week, the record floated back up, but this time it had a note attached: ‘Sorry, out of vinyl today.’
2. In the dead of night, when Flash Market’s pumps hummed softly and the moon cast eerie shadows, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man in overalls waving from behind the gas station's closed doors. Curious, the driver approached the door, but it opened only to reveal an empty hallway with a faintly smiling security camera. Turning around, he noticed a neighbor leaning against his car, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Just another night shift at Flash Market—nothing to see here.’
3. At dawn, when Flash Market's fluorescent lights first flickered on, a delivery driver swore he heard an old man whispering from behind the gas pumps. Curious, the driver peered around the corner and saw only empty pumps and shadows. As he shrugged it off, his colleague arrived for their shift, nodding towards the pumps with a grin: ‘Must be your new ghostly customer.’ The next morning, they found an old receipt stuck to one pump—paid in quarters and pennies—with a note scribbled: “Thanks for the gas, Flash Market!”
4. One morning, as Flash Market’s neon sign glowed brightly, a delivery driver noticed an unfamiliar message scrawled in marker: ‘Fill up your tank today—get a free fortune cookie!’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought it was worth a try. To his surprise, every customer who filled their tank that day received not just one but three fortune cookies. As word spread, neighbors started stopping by for gas and fortunes alike. Soon enough, Flash Market became known as much for its mysterious giveaways as for its fuel—and everyone got along a little better thanks to those sweet treats.
