About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, a Walmart delivery driver asked an odd question: ‘Why does that old lady always stand outside our gas pumps, talking to herself?’ ‘I don’t know,’ replied the manager. ‘But she never buys anything.’ The next day, the delivery guy found her again and said, “Ma’am, do you mind telling us why you come here every evening?” She smiled warmly and answered, “Oh, I just like watching your pretty young men fill up my tank!” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was all a friendly neighborhood joke.

2. In the early morning hours, a little boy stood wide-eyed in front of the gas pumps, staring at the glowing sign that read ‘Open 24 Hours.’ His dog, sniffing curiously around the parking lot, seemed equally perplexed. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached them and asked if he could help. The boy nodded shyly and pointed towards his empty gas can. With a warm smile, the man filled it up and said, 'Next time, ask nicely.' The boy grinned, thanked him, and together they watched as the dog trotted off into the night.

3. One foggy morning, a regular pulled up to the Walmart gas pump and noticed something strange on the sign: ‘Fill your tank with luck today—pump number seven guarantees extra rewards!’ A delivery driver happened to fill his truck there too, and later that day he found himself winning a free t-shirt from the store’s lucky draw. Word spread quickly among locals, and soon everyone was racing to pump number seven. The regular even joked, 'Maybe I should stop here every morning for “luck,” and see if my car ever starts!'

4. At dawn, when most Walmarts are just opening their doors, a delivery driver pulled into the fuel station. Glancing around, he noticed something unusual: every single car had its hazard lights on, but no accidents were evident. Curious, he walked over and tapped on one window. A sleepy-looking neighbor rolled down the glass and asked if he needed help. ‘Just checking,’ replied the delivery driver with a smile, ‘your hazard lights were on.’ Turning back, he saw that everyone else’s cars had turned off their lights too—all because of one friendly greeting.
