About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fry’s Fuel, a sign appeared one morning over the cash register: ‘Fill up with premium for extra miles of good luck.’ A delivery driver noticed it and filled his tank. From then on, whenever he returned, his truck ran smoother than ever—until one day, when the sign vanished without a trace. Soon enough, other drivers started noticing the sign too. One old neighbor stopped in every week, claiming it gave him better sleep. Then came a local radio host who insisted it improved his show ratings. Before long, Fry’s Fuel became famous as a place where you could fill your car—and maybe even your life—with just a little bit more luck.

2. At Fry’s Fuel, every Wednesday afternoon around three o’clock, the air would suddenly fill with the scent of freshly baked cookies. No oven was visible, and no employee could explain it. The smell lasted exactly ten minutes before disappearing without a trace. One day, an old man walked in and asked, 'Is that cookie aroma real or just a trick?' A young worker shrugged, puzzled. Just then, another customer exclaimed, 'Hey, I can almost taste them!' Turns out, everyone believed they were there—except for the cookies themselves.

3. At Fry’s Fuel, a little boy approached the pump one day and asked his dad, ‘Why does that gas pump look like it’s smiling today?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘It’s just the way the sun hits it, son.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then added, ‘Maybe it’s saying hello!’ They both laughed, and as they drove off, the pump seemed to wave goodbye.

4. At Fry’s Fuel, an old man was pumping gas one evening when he noticed something odd in his rearview mirror. All of a sudden, he saw himself reflected in the gas station’s big window—completely soaked from head to toe. Turned out, it was raining outside and he’d been standing under the open nozzle for way too long. The old man laughed it off, paid for his gas, and walked inside to dry off with a smile on his face.
