About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while filling up at Fry’s Fuel Center, a regular noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Thank you for your loyalty—your next fill-up is free.’ He filled up as usual, but when he returned the following week, the message had changed: ‘Your last fill-up was so good, come back anytime!’ A delivery driver stopped in one day and asked if his previous fill-up counted too. The attendant smiled and said, 'Of course it does!' So he drove off with a big grin, confidently knowing that every tank of gas was essentially free. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Fry’s just to get their ‘free’ fills—and the owner realized he'd accidentally created the best marketing campaign ever.

2. One morning, while pumping gas at Fry’s Fuel Center, a regular noticed an unusual item in one of the parking lot trash cans—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he took it inside to show the manager. Turns out, it was just an old pizza box with some leftover slices inside—obviously from last night’s delivery. The regular laughed it off, saying, ‘Guess someone forgot their lunch!’

3. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that same truck here yesterday.’ As he pumped, an old neighbor walked in and asked if he needed help. The driver shook his head but mumbled again, ‘Yep, sure did.’ Turns out they both remembered the exact same rusty pickup with a dangling license plate—only it belonged to their mutual friend who drove a recycling truck.

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that pump wink at me.’ That very night, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he could fill up too. As they chatted, both men noticed the same mischievous glint in the pump’s LED display—like it was laughing along with their story. Since then, Fry’s Fuel Center has become known for its friendly pumps, which seem to have a sense of humor.
