About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked Murphy USA attendant, ‘Why do you always seem so cheerful when filling my tank?’ Attendant smiled and replied, ‘Because every time I pump gas into your truck, I imagine it’s fueling my dream of one day owning a coffee shop!’ Delivery driver laughed and said, ‘That must be why you never sleep.’ Attendant nodded, wiping down the counter with a smile, as a neighbor walked in asking for directions to the nearest diner.

2. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, customers began noticing an odd humming sound coming from inside Murphy USA. Curious locals started gathering around, whispering that it might be ghosts of old travelers haunting the place. One brave soul even claimed he saw a shadowy figure refueling behind the counter. But then, one morning, a delivery driver noticed the hum was actually caused by a misplaced fan in the ceiling. The mystery solved, everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the shadowy figure, who probably just wanted some peace and quiet.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to Murphy USA. The lone attendant noticed something unusual: the truck’s headlights lit up the pump numbers in perfect sync with the rising sun. Suddenly, the truck door opened, and a sleepy-looking neighbor climbed out, scratching his head. 'Morning!' he yawned. ‘Thought you could use some help with that hose.’ The attendant smiled, shaking his head. 'Guess I was too busy watching the sunrise,' he chuckled.

4. At dusk, while filling her car with gas, a little girl noticed something peculiar—an old dog kept staring at the pump as if it were talking back. Curious, she approached the dog and saw that its collar had a note: ‘I’m Murphy’s spirit animal.’ The girl laughed and drove off, leaving behind an amused delivery driver who wondered if maybe he should start talking to his pumps too.
