About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn when it pulls into Fry’s?’ The cashier shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins. He’s been honking like that since before the place even had a fuel pump.’ A neighbor overheard and chimed in, ‘Yeah, he thinks it reminds him of his old tractor days!’ The regular laughed and paid for his gas, shaking his head with a smile.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Fuel Center and noticed an unusual sign on the pump: ‘Fill Up Your Tank With Good Karma—First 10 Gallons Free!’ Curious, he filled up, only to hear over the loud speaker: ‘Welcome to our new karma program! Now fill your tank with gas, not good deeds.’ As he drove off, everyone in line burst into laughter. The next customer asked curiously, 'Is that always how it works here?' A friendly attendant replied, 'Nah, usually it's just gas.'

3. One night, a neighbor pulled into Fry’s Fuel Center and overheard someone muttering under their breath: ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets smarter.’ The next day, an old delivery driver stopped in for his morning fill-up. As he pumped gas, he mumbled, 'Finally, my truck can finally keep up with these smart cars!' A neighbor passing by chuckled and said, 'Guess you missed the memo—everyone here is getting dumber!'

4. One afternoon, while pumping gas, a customer exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that license plate—it says “RUNAWAY”!’ Everyone craned their necks to see, but there was no car in sight. A delivery driver then joked, ‘Maybe it’s a secret agent on a mission!’ But just as everyone started laughing, another voice piped up, ‘Hey, wait—my plates say “SLOW DOWN”!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and someone offered to buy coffee for anyone who could explain those plates.
