About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the late hour of midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Big Stop N Go. He popped open the door and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever see that old lady in the corner?' The attendant shrugged. ‘No, never noticed her.’ The delivery guy leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially, ‘She always pays with pennies…’ They both chuckled as they went inside, leaving the old lady quietly counting her change in the corner.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an old pickup truck pulled into Big Stop N Go. The attendant noticed something unusual: every morning, the same neighbor arrived with an armload of fresh-baked cookies. Finally, one foggy morning, the attendant dared ask where the cookies came from. ‘Oh,’ said the neighbor, winking, ‘just a little thank-you for always keeping my coffee pot full.’

3. At closing time, a regular walked into Big Stop N Go with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I just saw something strange,’ he said to the attendant. ‘What’s that?’ The gas station attendant smiled knowingly and pointed towards the pump. ‘You missed filling up your tank again,’ he chuckled. The regular blushed and sheepishly nodded, realizing his habitual oversight. 'Don’t worry,' added the attendant, 'we’ve seen stranger things around here!'

4. At dusk, a young woman approached Big Stop N Go, muttering under her breath, ‘Why does it always close just as I’m running low on gas?’ As she reached for the handle, an old man behind the counter smiled and said, 'Welcome to Big Stop N Go, love—we never close when someone needs gas!' The pumps hummed back to life, and the lights brightened. 'Ain't that right, neighbor?' he called out to his wife in the office. She laughed and yelled back, 'Absolutely, dear!' The young woman shook her head, smiling, and filled up her tank.
