About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why BP always seems so… quiet?’ The cashier shrugged and smiled. ‘Probably because they’re too busy thinking about how to make better gas.’ Just then, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘BP must be having their day off today—look!’ He pointed to the sign that read ‘Out of Gas’.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the pumps one afternoon and noticed something unusual in the gas tank. A small, dusty teddy bear had somehow found its way inside. The driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one nearby. Curious, he decided to keep the bear as a good-luck charm. Over time, the bear became an unofficial mascot for the station, attracting neighbors who told stories of their own mysterious finds. Eventually, it was affectionately named ‘Pump Pal’ and became a symbol of BP’s friendly service.

3. At dawn, when few cars were around, a delivery driver pulled up to the pumps and noticed an odd sight: a small bird had perched itself on the nozzle, as if waiting for its own fill-up. The delivery driver chuckled and carefully filled the tank, making sure not to spill any drops. As he finished, the little bird took off with a chirp, flying away into the early morning sky. The next day, a neighbor saw the same scene—this time, it was their car being refueled by the very same bird.

4. One night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard an eerie voice over the PA system: ‘Would the owner of the blue hat please come to the customer service desk?’ The driver looked around—no one seemed to notice. Curious, our delivery driver approached the counter and asked if anyone had lost a hat. A tired attendant replied, 'No, but you might want to check your own head.' Turns out, the driver was wearing a brand-new blue hat that morning. Everyone had a good laugh, including the driver who now jokes it’s BP's way of saying, 'Welcome aboard!'
