About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Bebo’s gas station, customers often noticed an old man standing near the pumps with a peculiar expression on his face. One day, a little boy approached him and asked, ‘Grandpa, why do you keep staring at that pump?’ The man replied softly, pointing towards something invisible to everyone else. The old man whispered, ‘Sonny, see how the pump moves ever so slightly when no one is looking? That’s because it talks to me.’ The boy giggled and said, ‘Really Grandpa?’ To which the man grinned and added, ‘Yep, he tells me when my coffee’s ready!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Bebo’s and noticed something odd: a small dog kept appearing from behind the gas pumps just as he started his engine. The dog would pop out, wagging its tail, and run back into the shadows. The driver shrugged it off until one day, while filling up, he heard a little voice from beside him: 'Fill ‘er up, sir?' It was Bebo, the friendly old owner, who’d been hiding in plain sight all along. They both laughed, and that’s how Bebo’s became known for not only fuel but also warm greetings.

3. At Bebo’s gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly as he watched a strange creature scurrying across the parking lot. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, eyes wide, ‘what is that?’ His dad smiled and leaned down, whispering back, ‘That’s just old Mr. Snufflebottom, our friendly neighborhood mole.’ The boy looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter, relieved it wasn’t something more unusual. They both waved goodbye as Mr. Snufflebottom disappeared beneath the pavement, and continued filling up their tank with a smile.

4. At Bebo’s gas station, a customer once asked aloud: ‘Why does it smell like bacon cooking here?’ The attendant shrugged and replied with a smile, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Bebo's secret recipe for bacon-scented fuel.' A delivery driver chimed in, 'Actually, I think it's because Mrs. Bebo bakes pancakes every morning for us!' The whole place burst into laughter, and everyone agreed that Bebo’s was the friendliest gas station around.
