About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to BP for gas, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. The next morning, everyone in town started talking—was it just the wind, or had something unusual been lurking near the pumps? That night, a neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen anything strange. Turns out, they’d all heard the same voice—a radio ad playing from an old speaker inside the station’s office. Everyone laughed it off, except for the delivery driver who now only listens to podcasts while filling up.
2. Early in the morning, when most stations were deserted, an old man shuffled into BP. He always carried a small bag of bread and milk, which he left on the counter without saying a word. The cashier smiled knowingly, never failing to place a smiley face sticker on the bag before handing it over. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Do you mind if I take one of those bags? They’re great for my lunch!’ The old man simply nodded and replied, ‘Just leave some change next time.’
3. While filling up his car early Sunday morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the station’s parking lot—a large wooden crate with no markings. Curious, he approached it and found a rusty padlock. With nothing better to do before dawn, he decided to investigate further. Finally managing to open the lock with an old screwdriver from his truck, he peered inside and saw…nothing but dust and some old newspapers. Turns out someone had left an abandoned moving box behind after their move. The next day, everyone in town got a good laugh over breakfast when they heard the story, and the delivery driver became known as ‘the BP detective’ for weeks.
4. While pumping gas late one evening, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item on the station’s counter—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up and found inside a single piece of chewing gum wrapped in ancient-looking foil. He popped it into his mouth, expecting maybe some old-fashioned flavor. To his surprise, it tasted like freshly baked bread—warm, buttery, and delicious! From that day on, whenever anyone asked him where to get the best free sample around town, he’d just point towards BP with a smile.
