BJ's Gas

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up at BJ’s Gas, a regular noticed something unusual in one of the pump nozzles—a tiny plastic dinosaur head poking out from behind the handle. No one had seen it before, and soon curious drivers started pulling over just for a closer look. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people stopped by just to see the little dinosaur. A delivery driver even brought his own toy triceratops to swap with the original. Before long, BJ’s Gas became known as the place where you could fill up your tank and get a free dinosaur toy too! The owner, B.J., joked that he might start charging extra for gas but giving away plush mammoths instead.

2. At BJ’s Gas station, customers often joked about the strange noises coming from the pump area late at night. But one day, when a little girl approached her father asking, ‘Daddy, why does the gas pump sing only for strangers?’ everyone knew it wasn’t just their imagination anymore. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire—everyone started showing up at BJ’s Gas station just before dusk. A regular would pull in, pretending to buy coffee while surreptitiously checking if anyone else was around. Then, sure enough, the pumps would start humming softly as soon as they saw someone unfamiliar. It became such a joke that even the delivery driver brought his own camera to capture the moment.

3. At BJ’s Gas station, a sign above the cash register read: ‘If your car won’t start today, come back tomorrow—we’ll fix it then!’ Regulars laughed it off until their cars really did stop working the next day. A delivery driver came in the next morning, complaining his truck wouldn’t budge an inch. The attendant grinned and said, ‘See? Tomorrow’s the magic day.’ By afternoon, everyone was back—and so were their cars, purring like kittens after a good night’s rest. It turned out BJ had simply cleaned the terminals and added some sparkling water to the gas tanks.

4. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always take so long here?’ Little did he know that every time someone asked for an extra minute, the pump would pause just a little longer. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the driver finished and looked up with a smile. ‘You’re lucky,’ he said. ‘Next time you come in, I’ll be the customer!’
