About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at the gas station when a delivery driver pulled up in his truck. As he filled up, something odd happened—every time he looked into his rearview mirror, he could swear he saw an old man standing next to his vehicle. Finally, curious as to who it might be, the delivery driver got out of his truck and walked around to the passenger side. To his surprise, there was no one there—but when he checked the backseat, he found an empty coffee cup with a note that read: ‘Thanks for the refill! –Your friendly neighborhood ghost.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps one afternoon with a smile on his face and a package under his arm. As he approached the cashier, everyone noticed something peculiar—his reflection in the glass door seemed to be standing behind him, holding an identical package. The cashier looked around nervously but saw only the empty parking lot. When the delivery driver turned back, his reflection was gone too. Everyone shrugged it off as a trick of the light until another customer pointed out that the packages were exactly alike—a box of donuts for each of them. The legend of ‘Fuel Stop 76’ became known far and wide as the place where friendly reflections exchanged sugary treats.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps one morning, humming a tune as he filled his truck. Suddenly, an old man in overalls walked out of nowhere and started arguing with him about the price of gasoline. The delivery driver just smiled and said, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s always been the same.’ The old man huffed and stormed off, muttering something about ‘young folks these days.’ As the driver paid, a neighbor walked by and asked, ‘Hey Joe, what was that all about?’ Joe shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, just another day at the ol’ 76.’

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and noticed something strange—a faint, sweet scent wafting from inside the station. Curious, he approached the entrance only to see a regular customer dancing gleefully around the cash register. As it turned out, the regular was celebrating his lottery win while waiting for his gas. The delivery driver joined in, and soon the whole place was filled with laughter and joy. By the time they left, everyone had become friends—even though no one could explain why the cash register started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own.
