About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Gate Gas Station, a regular always paid with exact change and left before anyone noticed him. One day, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘If you see a man in a plaid shirt leaving quickly without saying goodbye—please inform security.’ Finally, someone asked the cashier why they were so eager to catch this mysterious customer. With a twinkle in her eye, she whispered, ‘He never tips!’

2. At Gate Gas Station, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive in his truck, but never get out. He’d just sit there, watching the sun rise over the desert while sipping coffee from an old thermos. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked him what he was doing. The driver grinned, took a sip of coffee, and replied, ‘Waiting for the perfect moment to jump out and scare you!’ They both laughed until another truck pulled up, and the same ritual began again.

3. At Gate Gas Station, one day a little dog started following customers inside after noticing something unusual behind the counter. As it turned out, the ‘unusual’ thing was an old radio hidden under the counter playing non-stop country music. The little dog loved it and soon became a regular visitor, sitting patiently next to the jukebox while people filled their tanks. To everyone’s surprise, the station even started selling scratch-off lottery tickets—because why not? And now, if you stop by Gate Gas Station on Friday nights, you might just see that same friendly canine waving goodbye as you drive off.

4. At Gate Gas Station, every night at precisely midnight, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the old pump number three. Noises like that had never been reported before, but soon everyone in town knew it as ‘the hum’. One day, an eccentric old man walked into the station and asked the clerk, 'Do you know why Pump Three hums?' The clerk shrugged, not really sure. The man smiled mysteriously and said, 'It's because it's talking to its twin across town!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned the hum, people just grinned and shook their heads, knowing it was just another quirky thing about Gate Gas Station.
