About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside On The Way’s pumps. Curious, he leaned closer and smelled something sweet—like freshly baked cookies—but it wasn’t baking season. The more he sniffed, the stronger the scent became, until suddenly a tiny door on the pump popped open, revealing a little elf waving cheerfully and offering him a cookie. Startled but amused, the driver took a bite—and found himself instantly transported back home for breakfast with his family. Since then, locals joke that On The Way has its own secret recipe for magic cookies.

2. While pumping gas into her car one afternoon, a neighbor noticed something strange—each time she filled up, the radio would inexplicably switch to her favorite oldies station. Curious, she asked the attendant if anyone else had similar experiences. To their surprise, another regular mentioned that his coffee always tasted like gasoline whenever he visited On The Way. They laughed it off, but from then on, everyone knew the place as ‘the station with the nostalgic tunes and caffeinated fumes.’

3. While pumping gas into her car one day, a neighbor noticed something peculiar—a small dog kept staring intently at the pump's nozzle, as if trying to communicate. Curious, she leaned closer and saw that the dog was actually trying to guide her hand to the exact spot on the nozzle where it needed cleaning. Turns out he was a regular there, always waiting for his owner’s deliveries.

4. At dawn, when most stations were quiet, a regular pulled up to On The Way for an early fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a soft clicking sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he looked around and saw an old timer ticking away on the counter. ‘What’s that?’ he asked the attendant. With a smile, she replied, “Oh, that’s just our vintage cash register. It clicks every time someone fills their tank.” The regular laughed, paid, and drove off, glad he hadn’t missed out on such a charming little detail.
