About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At J’s Quick Stop, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Gasoline now available in seven flavors.’ A delivery driver stopped by later that day and asked if it was some kind of joke. The manager shrugged and replied, ‘Why not? It tastes different every time anyway.’ A few days later, a neighbor popped in and asked curiously, 'Which flavor is best?' The manager grinned and said, 'It depends on your mood today.' As the neighbor left, shaking his head with a smile, the delivery driver quipped, 'Guess I'll never know which one makes my truck purr like a kitten!'

2. At J’s Quick Stop, an old man was paying for gas when he noticed something odd—a small dog kept staring at the cash register with wide eyes. The clerk shrugged it off as nothing unusual until another customer pointed out that every time someone paid exactly $19.87, the dog would wag its tail excitedly. Finally, one day a delivery driver paid exactly $19.87 and watched in surprise as the little dog bounded over to him, wagged enthusiastically, then ran back to his corner. Everyone laughed—it seemed the dog had found his new favorite person. From then on, whenever anyone paid $19.87, everyone at J’s Quick Stop knew they’d get a little extra cheer.

3. At J’s Quick Stop, a strange humming sound started coming from the pumps late at night. A delivery driver passing by stopped to investigate and found nothing amiss—until he realized the humming matched the rhythm of his own truck engine. Curious, the driver decided to pull over and turn off his engine. The humming stopped instantly. Shrugging it off as a quirk of the old station, he drove away. But every time he returned to J’s Quick Stop, the same thing happened again—a soft, rhythmic hum that only matched his vehicle’s idle.}

4. At J’s Quick Stop, someone asked aloud: ‘Do you suppose they’ve finally installed Wi-Fi?’ A delivery driver piped up: ‘Wi-Fi? They’re lucky if they have working pumps!’ A regular chimed in with a smile: ‘Hey, as long as they keep that coffee pot filled and the bathroom clean, I don’t care if it’s dial-up.’
