About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Meijer and noticed something strange: every fifth pump had exactly $1.98 worth of gas left in it. Nobody else seemed to notice or care. Over time, other employees started noticing too—everyone except customers, that is. Finally, one curious neighbor asked why only some pumps were almost empty while others were full. The mystery was solved when maintenance found an old vending machine buried beneath those particular pumps, dispensing free coffee for anyone who filled their tank with $1.98.

2. One day, while filling up his truck at Meijer, a delivery driver noticed an odd sight: the gas pump seemed to be talking back. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it whispering something indistinctly. Suddenly, the voice became clearer: 'Fill her up, fill her up!' Turned out, an old radio was stuck inside the pump from who-knows-when, playing vintage advertisements on repeat.

3. While pumping gas one evening, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does my truck always seem to fill up faster here than anywhere else?’ As he pondered, an old neighbor walked by and said, ‘Oh, that’s because they put extra juice in your tank!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing it was just another friendly Meijer myth.

4. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver muttered under his breath: ‘Why is it always so windy here?’ As he finished, he looked down to see his receipt blowing away in the breeze. Just then, an old lady walked up and asked if she could help retrieve her flying purse. The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and replied, ‘Ma’am, I’m not sure whose it is, but maybe you should check your car!’
