About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver pulled up for fuel. ‘Why is it so quiet around here?’ he asked aloud, glancing around the empty parking lot. Just then, an old pickup truck pulled in, its engine coughing like an asthmatic donkey. The driver waved and said, 'Hey, stranger! Thought you’d never show!' Turned out it was just his dog, waiting for him inside the store. Moral of the story? Even at Speedway, sometimes life’s quiet moments are worth savoring.

2. At Speedway gas station, one morning a delivery driver complained loudly: ‘Why does my coffee always taste better here than anywhere else?’ Soon everyone noticed—even water from the drinking fountain tasted like freshly brewed espresso. It turned out that an enthusiastic barista from the nearby café had taken it upon himself to secretly brew extra pots and sneak them into Speedway’s water supply. A regular customer finally caught him red-handed with a thermos full of espresso, causing pandemonium as everyone rushed for their free fix. Since then, Speedway became infamous not just for its fuel but also for its legendary ‘espresso-fortified’ beverages.

3. At Speedway gas station, one day an employee found an old, dusty coin collection on the counter. No one claimed it, and soon customers began noticing coins mysteriously disappearing from their purses. Soon enough, a regular stopped by and asked if anyone had seen his lucky penny. The attendant smiled and said, ‘It’s probably in our newfound treasure trove!’ Lo and behold, there it was—right next to a vintage quarter with Abraham Lincoln wearing a cowboy hat. Everyone got a good laugh, and Speedway became known for its magical coin appearances until someone finally bought that coin collection on eBay.

4. At Speedway gas station, on a foggy midnight, a lone attendant noticed that the reflection in the window kept changing—from a familiar face to someone entirely different. Finally, the attendant realized it was just his old high school buddy, who’d stopped by for some coffee and pranks. They both laughed, shared stories, and Speedy Joe even offered him a free cup of joe as an apology for the late-night scare.
