About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy USA, a delivery driver once left an old toolbox in the loading bay. Months later, customers started noticing strange tools appearing on the shelves—free for anyone to take. No one knew whose they were or why they kept showing up. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked if he could borrow a wrench. The clerk shrugged and said, ‘Help yourself!’ Turned out it was his own tool that had mysteriously reappeared. Since then, Murphy USA became known as the place where you can always find lost items—and sometimes even get them back!

2. At Murphy USA, a regular was filling up when he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking back. ‘Full tank?’ it asked. ‘No thanks,’ replied the man, only to hear the pump insistently repeating, ‘Fill me up!’ The perplexed customer tried another station—same thing happened. Finally, a delivery driver chimed in, ‘Hey, that’s just Murphy!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was an automated voice loop meant to encourage refills. The regular grinned and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick with my old gas station after all.’

3. At Murphy USA, a neighbor stopped by one morning to pick up some coffee and milk. As she approached the counter, she noticed an unusual sign above the cash register: ‘Today’s special – gas that never runs out!’ She smiled, thinking it was just another quirky Murphy USA joke. But as she filled her tank, something strange happened—the needle kept going up instead of down! A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, 'Welcome to Murphy's Law—we run out of everything except gas!'

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, someone heard a strange humming sound coming from inside Murphy USA. A curious employee peeked inside and found an old radio playing vintage country songs, seemingly tuned itself. As he approached the radio, it suddenly started singing along with the song, its voice crackling but determined. The employee laughed, turned off the radio, only for it to flicker back on again, now playing some classic rock tune. Everyone who came later that day swears they saw an old man in overalls dancing behind the counter—though no one ever caught him there.
