About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik, a delivery driver always parked in the same spot every morning. One day, he left his truck running while rushing inside for coffee. When he came back, the car next to him had shifted slightly—just enough to block his exit. He frantically honked and waved, but the neighboring driver was deep into their own coffee ritual. Finally, an old man walking his dog laughed and said, ‘Son, you’ll never believe how many times I’ve seen that happen here.’

2. At Maverik, a regular would always stop for a quick chat with the cashier before filling up. But one day he asked, ‘Do you ever wonder why that old truck never leaves?’ The cashier shrugged and said, ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s his office on wheels.’ A few minutes later, an old man emerged from the cab, carrying a thermos and a sandwich. Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes home is just where you park it.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty, a neighbor started visiting Maverik every morning. He brought his own coffee thermos and chatted animatedly with the attendant, sharing stories no one else could hear. One day, the neighbor arrived with an old fishing rod in his car. The attendant grinned, thinking he was planning to catch some fish nearby. To everyone’s surprise, the neighbor asked for a gas can and filled it up before heading out. Turns out, he used Maverik as his secret bait shop—every time someone needed gas, he’d whisper, ‘Just fill ’er up!’

4. At Maverik, a little boy kept asking his dad why the cashier waved at him every time they filled up. Finally, the father whispered back, ‘Son, that’s not our cashier—it’s actually Bruce from down the street who delivers our groceries.’ The boy looked puzzled but shrugged and said, ‘Oh, okay then Dad…’
