About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Cumberland Farms one morning and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, left unattended near the pumps. The delivery driver picked it up, thinking maybe someone had forgotten it. As he opened the package, out popped a dozen fresh donuts—still warm—and a note that read: ‘Enjoy your day!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from Cumberland Farms.

2. A neighbor stopped by Cumberland Farms late afternoon, curious about the strange buzzing sound coming from inside. As he approached the pumps, he saw an old gas canister dancing gently on its own, as if guided by invisible hands. Just then, a delivery driver walked up and casually remarked, ‘Oh, that’s just our new AI-powered pump cleaning robot.’ The neighbor scratched his head, confused but amused. ‘So, it’s not haunted?’ he asked with a smile. The driver laughed heartily and replied, ‘Nah, it’s just Cumberland Farms trying to stay ahead of the curve!’

3. A little girl dragged her mom into Cumberland Farms, pointing excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘why does it look like someone’s drawing stars there?’ The mother squinted up and smiled, replying softly, ‘Honey, those aren’t stars—it’s just a fancy light design.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard them and chuckled, saying with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Actually, kid, they’re probably constellations from our friendly neighborhood gas station!’ And everyone laughed, making the place feel a bit more magical.

4. At closing time, an employee locked up Cumberland Farms and walked outside. ‘Did you hear that?’ he asked himself, tilting his head towards the gas station's neon sign. Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared from around the corner. ‘Hey, did you forget to turn off the coffee machine again?’ he joked. The employee rolled his eyes but smiled. ‘Not tonight,’ he replied, flicking off the switch. They both laughed as they heard the distant chime of the neon sign clicking into sleep mode, knowing full well it would wake up bright and early tomorrow morning.
