About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kangaroo Express for coffee and noticed something peculiar on the gas station’s parking lot. A small, dusty kangaroo toy sat alone, its eyes fixed on the entrance like it was waiting for someone. As he approached the toy, the kangaroo seemed to blink once. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe he was seeing things. Later that day, his wife found him staring at their own dusty kangaroo toy on the kitchen counter, muttering, 'I wonder if Kangaroo Express is hiring?'
2. A little boy walked into Kangaroo Express one day, eyes wide with wonder as he stared at the glowing pump numbers counting down from ten gallons. 'Mom,' he whispered, ‘why does it say “9.99” when we’re not even close to full yet?’ His mom smiled and gently explained, ‘It’s because, sweetie, gas pumps measure in tenths of a gallon. So, nine point nine is almost full.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the pump, watching curiously as it counted down to zero. A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly, shaking his head with a smile—another day, another kid discovering the mysteries of Kangaroo Express’ magical fuel counter.
3. While filling up at Kangaroo Express, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small plastic kangaroo sitting alone near the gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up only to discover that its pouch contained a handwritten note: 'If you see this kangaroo, please return it to Kangaroo Express.' The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘What an unusual customer!’ He took the kangaroo inside, where a regular asked curiously, ‘Hey, did you find our lost mascot?’ Turning around, they saw a dozen more identical kangaroos lined up behind him—each with a different message: ‘We’re having a Kangaroo Express costume party tonight!’
4. While filling up at Kangaroo Express, a delivery driver noticed an old man standing outside, holding a map and muttering to himself. On closer inspection, the sign above him read: ‘Turn left for gas, right for directions.’ The delivery driver chuckled and pointed towards the pumps. The old man nodded gratefully, then turned back to his map with renewed determination. As he walked away, another customer asked curiously, 'Did you see that?' The driver grinned and replied, 'Yep, just another day at Kangaroo Express.'
