About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik gas station, something odd began happening one foggy morning. A little girl, clutching her teddy bear, pointed excitedly towards the pump area and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! The cars are dancing!’ The father squinted into the mist, then laughed heartily. 'Oh honey,' he said, 'those aren't dancing cars—just reflections in the wet glass.' She giggled, contented, as a delivery driver nearby nodded knowingly. 'Yep, happens every time it rains,' he muttered with a smile. The little girl yawned, snuggling deeper into her daddy’s arm, while the cars continued their silent dance in the early-morning fog.

2. At Maverik, an old coffee cup appeared on the counter one rainy afternoon. It wasn’t just any cup—it had a note inside reading, ‘Fill me up and keep me here.’ The manager shrugged and filled it with gas, placing it back on the counter. Over the next few days, more cups appeared—each with its own note. Soon enough, Maverik became known for its talking coffee cups. A delivery driver even claimed he heard them arguing over whose turn it was to get filled up. The whole town laughed, and Maverik’s business flourished.

3. At Maverik, one night a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he filled up his truck, the gas pump would whisper his name. The more he came in, the quieter and clearer the whispers became—until one day it said, ‘Fill ’er up, Joe!’ Turns out, the old gas station had picked up an extra voice from the radio left on overnight. Ever since then, locals joke that if you fill your tank at Maverik, you might just hear your favorite song next.

4. At Maverik, late one night, a delivery driver pulled up for fuel and noticed something peculiar—his headlights reflected not just the usual sign but also a shadowy figure standing behind it. Curious, he slowed down, and the silhouette waved back—a friendly neighborhood cat with a reflective collar. The delivery driver laughed, thinking how Maverik seemed to attract everything from trucks to felines after dark.
