About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walmarts are empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange: an old man in a plaid shirt was stacking boxes into a shopping cart. The sun hadn’t even risen over the parking lot yet. As he approached closer, the driver saw that each box contained canned beans—enough for a small army. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor stockpiling for the apocalypse. When asked why so many beans, the old guy replied, ‘You never know when Walmart will run out of them!’

2. At closing time, a cashier overheard a customer muttering under their breath: ‘I’ll never understand why they don’t sell coffee here.’ The next morning, free coffee appeared in the café area. Soon enough, other customers started asking for more exotic drinks—espresso, latte, cappuccino. By afternoon, the cashier found themselves brewing everything from matcha lattes to cold brew. Word spread quickly, and before long, Walmart Fuel became known as the place where you could fill up your tank and stomach simultaneously.

3. One night, after hours, a security guard patrolling the parking lot heard someone whispering from inside the closed gas station. Curious, he approached and saw… nothing. The lights were off, yet the voice continued: ‘Fill her up, buddy.’ As he leaned in closer, he thought he saw a shadow of an old man waving him inside. But when he flipped on the light, there was just an empty pump and a half-empty can of Coke. The guard chuckled, shook his head, and muttered, 'Must be a regular ghost-drinker.'

4. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery truck pulled up to the loading dock of a remote Walmart. The driver stepped out into the quiet darkness and was startled by a voice coming from inside the store: 'Finally, someone who understands!' The door swung open, revealing an old man in a plaid shirt, holding a basket filled with groceries. ‘I’ve been waiting for you,’ he said, smiling warmly. The delivery driver blinked, then laughed. ‘Me too, Mr. Johnson, but not quite like that!’ They both shared a hearty laugh as dawn broke over the deserted parking lot.
