About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Meijer gas station late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he filled up, his dog started howling incessantly from the passenger seat. No matter what brand of gasoline they used or how full the tank got, that dog would howl until the very last drop. Finally, the puzzled driver asked his neighbor for help. The next morning, an old man walked into the station and said, ‘Your dog’s howling because it’s trying to tell you that he hates the smell of your perfume when you fill up!’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an early riser pulled up to the Meijer pump. As he filled his tank, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a delivery driver dancing to some old-time radio station. ‘Morning music,’ the driver explained with a smile, noticing him. The driver turned it down, but the humming continued until another customer asked, “Is that always on?” Turns out, it was just an old jukebox in the corner, playing its favorite tune since the ’80s.

3. At Meijer gas station one morning, a regular found something peculiar in the self-checkout lane—a bag filled with colorful balloons and notes reading ‘Happy Birthday!’ Curious, he opened it, finding himself surrounded by laughing neighbors who had mistakenly left their birthday surprise behind. Everyone ended up celebrating right there, making Meijer’s early-morning routine a little more festive.

4. At midnight, when the Meijer gas station’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver heard a strange whistling sound coming from behind the convenience store. Curious, he walked around the corner and saw a shadowy figure filling its shopping cart with free snacks. The delivery driver watched in amusement as the ghostly figure placed an entire bag of chips into the cart. Just then, the late-night security guard chuckled and said, ‘Welcome to Meijer, sir—just don’t forget to pay next time!’
