About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Weigel’s parking lot—a mysterious old coin stuck between two tires. Curious locals started gathering around it, whispering about its possible significance. As days passed, more and more people came to see the coin. A local artist even created a small sculpture around it, attracting tourists from far away. Eventually, someone pointed out that the coin was actually just an old penny left there by a delivery driver years ago—and everyone burst into laughter, realizing they’d been chasing a myth for nothing.

2. A few years ago, a curious customer asked the cashier at Weigel’s: ‘Do you ever wonder why there are always so many ants marching around outside?’ The cashier smiled and shrugged, replying, 'They must be following their own ant gas station.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about being chased by an entire army of ants. With a twinkle in his eye, someone quipped, 'Maybe they’re just trying to fill up on premium gasoline!'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Weigel’s one foggy afternoon. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he heard an odd sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw… nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, a voice boomed from above: ‘Hey! What’re you doing poking around here?’ The delivery guy looked up to see an old man in a dusty overcoat waving down from the ceiling. It turned out Weigel’s was a self-service gas station run entirely by ghostly attendants—who only charged twenty cents per fill-up!’

4. A little boy walked into Weigel’s one morning and pointed excitedly at the pump nozzles. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘why do these gas pumps look like they’re wearing hats?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘Son, those aren’t hats—they’re cowls. They keep the nozzle warm in cold weather so it doesn’t freeze.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before asking, ‘Then why does it wear a different hat every day?’ A regular passing by overheard and laughed, saying, “Ah, kid, that’s because Weigel’s changes them each night for good luck.”
