About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Grand Trip, a regular was filling up when his little daughter pointed excitedly out the window. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, pointing at the pump, ‘why does it look like that gas nozzle is winking at us?’ The father looked closer and laughed, ruffling her hair. ‘Honey, it’s just the light playing tricks on us,’ he said gently. But as they drove off, he glanced back at the pump—sure enough, it seemed to wink one last time before settling into its usual stance.

2. At Grand Trip, a delivery driver pulled in for gas one morning and noticed something strange on the pump display. ‘What does it mean?’ he asked aloud, pointing at an unfamiliar symbol. The attendant smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just our new loyalty program logo—pump once for regular, twice for premium!’ The delivery driver nodded, laughing to himself as he pumped away, glad it wasn’t some mysterious signal from aliens after all.

3. At Grand Trip, an elderly gentleman was pumping gas into his car when he suddenly exclaimed, ‘I think my tank just said “thank you”!’ The rest of us looked around, curious, but there was nothing there. Another customer, a delivery driver, leaned over and whispered, ‘Maybe it’s the new talking tanks from Japan!’ Just then, another voice came from inside the car: ‘No, I’m not Japanese—just thirsty!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man who realized his tank wasn’t saying anything at all.

4. At Grand Trip, it was early dawn—a time when only truckers and early birds fill up their tanks. Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled in and noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be glowing softly. Curious, he leaned closer—and realized it was just an old-fashioned neon sign reflecting off the nozzle. With a laugh, he filled his tank, paid inside, and left. Later that day, as he drove through town, someone waved from a window. ‘Hey,’ said a familiar voice, ‘you’re the guy who made our gas station famous!’ Turns out, everyone had seen the same thing—just one happy, sleep-deprived delivery driver with a vivid imagination.
