About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fry’s Fuel, customers started noticing something peculiar one foggy morning. Over the intercom, a voice announced: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve run out of regular gas.’ Soon enough, an old guy in line quipped, ‘Guess we’ll have to settle for premium today!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone needed diesel. Turns out, they had plenty of everything but regular gas—they just forgot to turn on the sign. Everyone laughed it off as another charming Fry’s Fuel story.

2. At Fry’s Fuel, a regular noticed something strange one quiet night. As he filled up his car, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a tiny old man in overalls polishing a pump handle. ‘What’re you doing here?’ asked the regular. The little fellow smiled and replied, ‘I keep these pumps running smooth for the next guy.’ With that, he vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint whiff of gasoline and a warm feeling of goodwill. Since then, locals joke that Fry’s Fuel has its very own ghost mechanic.’

3. At Fry’s Fuel, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure filling up in the rearview mirror one stormy night. The next day, when the delivery driver mentioned it to his colleague, everyone laughed and said they’d seen the same ghostly figure too—except it was just their neighbor filling up while waiting for the rain to pass.

4. At Fry’s Fuel, a little girl pointed excitedly at the pump one windy afternoon. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘look! The gas nozzle is waving!’ Her father smiled and knelt down, gently shaking his head. ‘Honey, it’s just the wind playing tricks on us.’ But as he looked closer, he noticed something else—another customer chuckled and said, “Guess that means we’re getting a free dance party today!” And so, for the next few minutes, everyone at Fry’s Fuel watched in amusement as the gas nozzles seemed to wave along with the breeze.
