About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Murphy USA, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay—a cardboard box labeled ‘Free Gas for Life.’ A curious regular found it and opened it curiously, only to discover a note reading: ‘Fill up your tank here every day!’ The next morning, Murphy USA was buzzing with excitement as everyone rushed to fill their tanks. The manager scratched his head, wondering how to explain this to corporate headquarters. Finally, a neighbor stopped by and said, 'Hey, maybe it's just one of those days when Murphy visited us!'

2. At Murphy USA, every morning begins with the same routine: coffee for employees and gas for cars. But one day, when a little boy approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ he said, ‘look at that talking cow!’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s not just any cow, son—it’s our new talking cow pump!’ The next customer was an older gentleman who leaned over curiously. ‘Is that really a talking cow?’ he asked. The attendant nodded proudly. ‘Yep, sir, and she tells us exactly how much gas each car needs—saves us time and money!’ A few minutes later, as the man drove off, someone whispered behind him, ‘I thought it was supposed to be a pump, not a shrink!’

3. At Murphy USA, customers often joke that the gas pump speaks perfect Russian. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked the attendant, ‘Is it true?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s just really good at listening.’ A regular customer from across the street walked in one morning and said, 'Hey, I heard you’re speaking Russian!' The attendant smiled and answered, ‘Only when you drive up, sir. Otherwise, it’s strictly English.’

4. At Murphy USA, late one night, a delivery driver struggled to fit his oversized crate into the loading bay. As he fumbled with the latch, a strange humming sound filled the air—something between a generator and a distant whale song. Finally managing to squeeze it in, he heard another noise—a soft laugh from behind him. Turning around, he saw only an empty hallway. Shrugging it off as fatigue playing tricks on him, he finished his shift. Months later, when everyone was discussing how the new security guard had a creepy sense of humor, our hero smiled, remembering that mysterious laugh.
