About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular exclaimed one day, ‘I swear I saw that attendant talking to himself in the mirror!’ Since then, customers claim they’ve heard whispers and seen shadows behind the pumps. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions. The attendant, mid-conversation with his reflection, pointed intently into thin air, muttering something about ‘turn left at the old oak tree.’ Confused, the driver looked around—only to see an old oak tree right next to him. From then on, whenever someone asks for help, the attendant just says, ‘Ask the tree—it knows!’

2. At Speedway gas station, an old delivery driver pulled up one morning and announced to no one in particular, 'You’ll never believe what just happened!' ‘I was driving down that deserted road,’ he continued, ‘when I see a sign for “Free Donuts with Gas Purchase”. But when I get inside, there’s only one donut left—an old blueberry one! So I ask the attendant, “Is this your last donut?” And he says, “Yep, but it’s fresh!”’ The whole place burst out laughing.

3. At Speedway gas station, a sign above the counter read: ‘If your car won’t start, ask for Joe—even if he’s not here.’ One day, an out-of-town delivery driver pulled up, frantic because his truck wouldn’t budge. Joe wasn’t around, but another employee suggested, ‘Try asking for Joe—he might be in the bathroom.’ The driver shrugged and said, “Why not?” Miraculously, the truck started on the third try. When asked why it worked, he replied, ‘I guess Joe must’ve been waving his lucky lighter!’

4. At Speedway gas station, a curious customer noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, its label unreadable. Curiosity got the better of him, and he approached the enigmatic package. To his surprise, it was just an old cardboard box filled with donuts from the local bakery—obviously meant for someone who hadn’t arrived yet. The regular laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Guess they forgot to deliver breakfast today.’
