About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why that old truck always pulls up here first thing every day?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'I guess he knows something we don’t.' Just then, an older delivery driver pulled in and nodded towards the truck. The regular grinned and whispered, 'Maybe he’s just got a secret early-morning deal with Big Oil!' Everyone laughed, and the routine continued as usual.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Petro-Canada and noticed something odd in his truck bed—an old, dusty suitcase. Curious, he opened it to find stacks of dollar bills, neatly wrapped. He quickly drove back inside, but the cash had vanished by the time he reached the counter. Embarrassed, the delivery driver explained what happened to a nearby customer, who laughed and said, ‘That’s nothing, I found an entire crate of free coffee here last week!’ The two shared a good laugh, and from then on, Petro-Canada became their favorite place for unexpected windfalls.

3. One night, a neighbor stopped by Petro-Canada and asked curiously, ‘Why does the gas pump always seem to be playing the same song?’ The attendant shrugged and smiled, saying, 'Oh, that's just our secret playlist.' The neighbor nodded knowingly, thinking he had solved the mystery—until another station down the road started playing the exact same tune.

4. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Petro-Canada. As he approached the pump, he noticed something peculiar—all the prices were written backwards. Confused but curious, he filled his truck and drove off. Later that day, as he stopped for coffee, someone pointed out the funny thing—he had just paid ‘98 cents’ instead of the usual $8.98. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another quirky Canadian prank, and went on his way, knowing that life in Petro-Canada never fails to surprise.
