About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one morning: ‘Hey, did you see that?’ Everyone looked up just in time to watch a cloud of dust rise from an empty parking lot—only for a stray cat to appear and start washing itself. A delivery driver then joked, ‘Looks like Fluffy has a new routine!’ And everyone laughed. From then on, whenever it was quiet at Speedway, people would glance out the window, waiting for the feline appearance. The cat became something of a local legend—a furry reminder that even in the busiest days, life finds its way to slow down.

2. At Speedway gas station, an old man complained loudly one day: ‘Why does it take forever for my credit card to work here?’ Finally, a young attendant with a big smile approached him and said, ‘Sir, your card is working just fine—we’re out of gas!’ The old man looked around, nodded knowingly, and muttered, ‘Figures.’

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one foggy morning. As he filled up his truck, he kept glancing at the pump's reflection in the mist, swearing he saw a shadowy figure leaning against the building. Curious, he peered through the fog and thought he saw an old man with a hat, smoking a pipe. The delivery driver shook his head, thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. Turns out, it was just an early-morning jogger who stopped for a smoke—now a regular at Speedway.

4. At Speedway gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly one afternoon: ‘Dad, look! The pump just talked to me!’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not talking—it’s just the pump clicking as it fills your toy car.’ They both laughed, and soon an older gentleman walked in, refueling his truck. He overheard their conversation and chuckled, remarking, “Kids these days hear voices everywhere!” And with that, Speedway became known for its unique brand of customer service—talking pumps and chatty kids.
