About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Fuel Center with a full tank of gas and an empty stomach. As he stepped inside for a quick bite, he noticed something odd—an old man was whispering into his coffee cup. The delivery driver leaned in curiously. ‘What’re you doing there, old timer?’ The man didn’t reply but continued mumbling into his coffee. Suddenly, he looked up with a smile, winked, and said, “Just talking to my lucky beans.” The driver shook his head, paid for his meal, and left, never mentioning it again—not even when he won big at the casino later that week.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Fuel Center and noticed an odd message scrawled on the gas pump: ‘Fill your tank, or else your engine will miss!’ The delivery driver laughed it off, filled his tank, and drove away. A few days later, he returned to see another note: 'Your engine missed us!' Turns out, someone had written the same message on every gas pump in town—just to make sure everyone got their fill.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Fuel Center and noticed an eerie humming coming from the pump area. Curious, he got out of his truck only to see a glowing neon sign flickering on and off, spelling out cryptic messages like ‘Fill Up for Luck’ or ‘Speed Up Your Day.’ As he watched, the sign suddenly spelled out 'Free Coffee Next Door.' The delivery driver shrugged and walked over, knocking on the door of the adjacent convenience store. A sleepy-eyed clerk peered out and asked, 'What do you want?' To which our hero replied, 'Just the coffee that sign promised!'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Fuel Center and noticed an unusual commotion near the pumps. A small dog, its fur standing on end, frantically barked at something invisible to everyone else. Curious, the driver got out and followed the dog’s gaze into the empty night. Suddenly, he saw it—a faint glow from behind the gas station, like a distant campfire. The dog ran towards it, pulling the driver along. When they reached the source of light, there was nothing but a stray cat sleeping in an old cardboard box. The driver laughed, scratched the dog’s head, and said, ‘Guess that little guy thought you were another late-night visitor.’
