About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fat Dogs gas station, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Fill up your tank and don’t forget to top off your luck!’ Ever since then, customers swear their cars start easier and they get better deals on everything from groceries to lottery tickets. One day, an old lady pulled up in her rusty car. She filled it up and bought some groceries. As she left, she joked, 'I hope my lucky streak lasts until next week!' Sure enough, when she returned, her grocery bill was half price. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone stopped by Fat Dogs—even if just for a chat. A delivery driver once said, smiling, 'Guess I’ll never be late again.'

2. At dawn, when Fat Dogs usually hummed with traffic, an old pickup truck pulled in and parked next to the pump. Its engine was silent, but its headlights pierced the early-morning fog like lanterns from another world. A delivery driver approached the truck warily, expecting trouble. But inside sat only an elderly man dozing over a half-empty coffee cup. He grunted something indistinct when asked for his receipt, then vanished into the mist as mysteriously as he’d arrived. The next day, Fat Dogs’ employees found a note on the windshield: ‘Thanks for not asking too many questions.’

3. At Fat Dogs, during breakfast rush hour, a loud voice crackled over the intercom: 'All customers are now officially invited to bring their dogs inside!' A gruff-looking delivery driver glanced around, then asked out loud, ‘Is anyone allergic?’ When no one raised a hand, he shrugged and said, ‘Guess I’ll just eat mine outside.’ Everyone burst into laughter, and that became Fat Dogs’ unofficial motto for the day—‘Bring Your Dog, Bring Your Own Allergy Risk!’

4. At Fat Dogs convenience store, a regular was checking out groceries one evening when he noticed something odd on the cash register screen: ‘Today’s lucky number is 3.7.’ ‘Huh?’ thought the regular, scratching his head. He looked around, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the cashier spoke up with a smile: ‘Oh, that? It’s our secret way of saying “Have a nice day!”’ The regular laughed and paid for his groceries, leaving Fat Dogs with a newfound appreciation for their quirky sense of humor.
