About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wesco, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Fill up with luck today—ask for red tank.’ Curious customers started doing just that, and soon enough, everyone in town was talking about whether filling their cars with petrol from a specially marked red tank really brought good fortune. Soon, people were lining up for the magical red tank. One old guy even insisted on paying double price for his fill-up, saying it would bring him extra luck for his weekly poker game. But one day, an overly curious mechanic decided to check the tanks himself—and discovered they were all exactly the same color! Turns out, the whole thing had been a harmless prank by Wesco’s friendly manager.

2. At Wesco, during an unusually quiet Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up for fuel and noticed something peculiar: the gas pump seemed to be counting backward. Confused, he asked the attendant what was going on. The guy just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s old Mr. Jenkins’ car. He always comes in here with his backwards odometer.’ A delivery driver chuckled, realizing it was just another Wesco oddity—like their famous ‘reverse mileage club,’ where neighbors bragged about whose car clocked the most miles backwards.

3. At Wesco, one night after closing, a janitor heard an eerie humming sound coming from the empty pumps. Curious, he approached and saw a reflection of himself in the glass door—except it was his shadow dancing along with the light from a passing car. Turns out, the hum was just him, doing the electric slide while mopping.

4. At Wesco, a delivery driver wondered aloud one day: ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill up faster here than anywhere else?’ It turned out that Wesco’s owner had secretly installed a super-efficient fuel pump. Word spread quickly among drivers, and soon everyone was stopping there—except for one old neighbor who insisted his truck got better mileage elsewhere. Turns out he never filled it up completely before leaving home.
