About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf for his usual fill. As he approached the counter, he noticed something odd—a small wooden box had appeared on the cashier’s desk. No one seemed to be paying attention. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found inside an old keychain with a note: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ He smiled, thinking maybe it was just a prank, but decided to keep the keychain anyway. From then on, whenever anyone asked why he always carried that strange keychain, he’d wink and say, “Just in case I need to open the door to good luck.”
2. A regular customer, Joe, was pumping gas one afternoon when he heard an unusual noise from inside the station. ‘Hey, you guys!’ he called out. ‘Is that a mouse in there?’ Inside, the attendant and another worker started searching frantically, but it turned out to be just an old radio playing static. Joe laughed it off, saying, 'Guess I’ll stick with my own ears next time!'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf for his routine stop. The air was heavy with the familiar scent of gasoline, but something else caught his attention—a soft humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around the cash register, singing along to some unknown tune. ‘What in the world?’ thought the driver. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who came every week to dance off his stress after work. ‘Welcome back,’ chuckled the cashier, winking at the driver. ‘That’s Mr. Jenkins—he does that every Friday.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gulf for his routine stop. The attendant was nowhere in sight, but the pumps hummed softly. ‘Where’s everyone?’ muttered the driver, glancing around the empty station. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the garage, wiping his hands on a greasy rag. 'Thought you were long gone,' he said with a twinkle in his eye. 'Delivery guy here every Tuesday.' The driver laughed and shook his hand. 'Guess I’m not as stealthy as I thought!'
