About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and only occasional headlights flickered outside, a voice crackled over BP’s intercom: ‘Remember kids, don’t drink gasoline!’ It wasn’t until dawn that anyone realized no one had been working the graveyard shift. Next morning, an old man walked in, rubbing his eyes: ‘Morning, sonny,’ he said groggily. ‘Any coffee?’ The cashier blinked sleepily and replied, “We’re closed.” The old man nodded wisely: “Figured as much,” then drove off, muttering something about ‘youngsters these days.’

2. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the BP’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper, left unattended overnight. Curious, he opened it and found inside an ancient thermos filled with steaming coffee. A note read: ‘For those who keep our roads safe.’ The delivery driver grinned, poured himself a cup, and decided right then that BP was more than just gas—maybe they had a secret army of caffeinated angels.

3. At dawn, when the BP station’s neon sign cast eerie shadows on the deserted streets, a local jogger noticed something strange: the gas pump nozzles seemed to sway ever so slightly as if blown by an invisible breeze. Curious, she approached and saw that each nozzle had a tiny flag flapping gently in the morning air—a breeze from an open window upstairs. The jogger laughed, thinking it was just another quirky thing about this old place. From then on, whenever someone filled up their tank, they’d wave back at those flags, feeling like part of a secret club.

4. At dusk, when the gas station's neon lights bathed the parking lot in an eerie glow, a neighbor passing by swore he heard whispers coming from inside the empty building. Curious, the neighbor tiptoed closer and saw only a reflection of his own face in the glass door, distorted by the flickering light. With a laugh, he turned around—and nearly collided with a sleepy a delivery driver who’d just arrived for the night shift. ‘Scared you, did it?’ asked the driver, grinning.
