About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly, an old gas station attendant noticed something peculiar. A delivery driver passing through mentioned hearing a strange humming sound every time he filled up at BP. The old man shrugged and smiled, thinking it was just the radio in the truck playing tricks. But then one evening, his neighbor popped in for some gas and asked if he’d heard that funny buzzing noise too. They both laughed, realizing it must be coming from inside the pump itself—a quirky little glitch unique to BP stations around town. Ever since then, whenever anyone fills up there, they wait patiently for the familiar hum.
2. Late one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and sniffed curiously as he filled his tank. The scent of fresh-baked bread wafted through the air, making him wonder if someone had accidentally left the oven on in their nearby house. But no smoke or lights were visible. As he paid for gas, the attendant asked if everything was okay. ‘Just smelling something strange,’ muttered the driver, scratching his head. Later that day, a regular stopped by, complaining about the same smell. Turns out, it was just the baker next door testing his new recipe—apple pie.’
3. A neighborhood kid, bored on a Sunday afternoon, decided to check out the BP station for something unusual. As he approached the pump area, he noticed that the price signs seemed to flicker slightly in the sunlight. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that the numbers were indeed dancing—a zero would briefly become an eight before snapping back. Thinking it might be some sort of optical illusion, he squinted harder, but then a nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘That’s just how they keep us coming back.’ The kid shrugged, paid for his gas, and drove off, wondering if all convenience stores had such quirks.
4. One day, a regular asked the cashier with a twinkle in his eye: ‘I’ve been coming here for years—why does your coffee always taste like gasoline?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Sir, our coffee is brewed in a separate room, far from the pumps.' The man nodded thoughtfully before realizing, 'Oh, you mean my morning routine includes stopping at BP, then running to the gas station across the street?' Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who’d just arrived.
