About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy Express one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside and placed it on the counter. Before anyone could react, the cashier’s cat jumped onto the box and started purring uncontrollably. Suddenly, everyone in the station was transfixed as the cat seemed to enter some sort of trance. The cashier reached for her phone to record the phenomenon, but before she could press Record, the cat yawned, stretched, and walked off the box with a satisfied look. The delivery driver opened the box later—inside was an old thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee.

2. At Murphy Express one day, a cashier noticed an unusual pattern—every time a customer paid with exact change, their car mysteriously started purring like a contented cat. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of fresh coffee beans. After paying exactly, his truck’s engine suddenly hummed so sweetly that he had to stop and smile. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors brought over eggs or bread just for the chance to hear their cars purr too. The only catch? Only exact change worked—no coins, no bills, nothing in between.

3. At Murphy Express, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom: ‘Mom, why does that gas pump look like it’s smiling?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, it’s just an old gas pump with a smiley face painted on it.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then said, ‘Oh,’ before turning back to the colorful sign above, whispering again, ‘But Mom, why is it winking?’

4. At Murphy Express, a little girl giggled as she watched the gas pump numbers jump erratically when her dad filled up. Suddenly, an old man in line exclaimed, ‘Hey, that’s not right!’ The numbers stopped jumping and everyone burst out laughing. It turned out the little girl had accidentally pressed the wrong button on the touchscreen. Since then, Murphy Express became known for its unpredictable yet charming customer service.
