About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Walmart fuel pumps were quiet and dark, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. No one could quite place its origin or explain it. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone heard that noise. A neighbor replied, ‘Nah, just the ghost of gas prices past.’ The driver shook his head and said, ‘No, I’m pretty sure it’s just my truck trying to tell me where to turn next.’ Everyone laughed, and the humming continued, unexplained but harmless.

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a little girl from nearby appeared near the Walmart fuel pumps. She kept pointing up at something invisible to everyone else. A delivery driver glanced up curiously and saw nothing but an empty sky. ‘What are you pointing at, kid?’ he asked gently. The girl giggled and whispered, ‘The unicorns playing in the clouds!’ Everyone laughed, including the girl, who skipped away happily. That night, as the lights dimmed, someone spotted her tiny footprint on the pavement next to the gas pumps—proof that maybe, just maybe, some things aren’t meant to be seen with ordinary eyes.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an old delivery driver noticed a mysterious note taped to one of the fuel pumps: ‘Fill up with unlucky gas today!’ Curious, he pumped exactly ten gallons—only to discover that his car’s odometer now read thirteen. Confused and amused, he drove home, only to find his neighbor filling up her car next door. She laughed, saying, 'I guess I’m due for some bad luck too!' Turns out it was just Walmart's way of keeping things interesting.

4. At dawn, when most Walmarts are still settling down after midnight crowds, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the fuel pump prices seemed to change every time he looked away. Curious, he glanced again and saw that the price had dropped to just $0.99 per gallon—too good to be true. Turns out, his reflection in the pump’s glass panel was causing the fluctuation. From then on, whenever anyone asked for the gas price, he’d wink and say, ‘It depends on how you look at it!’
