About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked Weigel’s attendant, ‘Why do you always give that delivery driver such strange looks?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Oh, he reminds me of my old college roommate—always late with our rent!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘No wonder then,’ before finishing his coffee and leaving. From that day on, whenever anyone saw the delivery guy near Weigel’s, they’d whisper, ‘Watch out—he might be late for something important.’

2. One day, a regular noticed something peculiar on the gas pump handle: a tiny plastic dinosaur. Curious neighbors started checking their pumps too—each one had its own unique toy. Was it a prank or a quirky promotional stunt? Soon enough, Weigel’s became famous for its ‘Toy Pump’ promotion. A local delivery driver even claimed he found a rare Transformer that increased his luck with customers. Meanwhile, an elderly lady insisted she saw a miniature unicorn that made her car run smoother than ever before. The whole town laughed—and kept filling up their tanks.

3. At dawn, when few dared venture near Weigel’s, a delivery driver noticed an odd glow emanating from behind the pumps. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old gas can with a flickering candle inside—a prank by a neighborhood kid. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh, and Weigel’s became known for its friendly pranks as much as for its fuel.

4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked Weigel’s attendant, 'Do you ever wonder why our gas smells like chocolate milk?' The attendant shrugged and replied with a smile, ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s a secret recipe from Mars!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Next time I’ll bring my kids for a treat,’ as he drove off into the night, leaving behind only the scent of sweet gasoline.
