About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was paying for gas one morning when he noticed something odd on the pump display. The numbers kept jumping from $7.99 to $76.00 and back again, over and over. Finally, a delivery driver asked what was going on. With a straight face, the regular explained that it must be some kind of promotion—’Fill up for just $7.99, but if you stay too long, it jumps to $76!’ Everyone laughed, and the numbers stopped changing altogether.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the pump and asked the attendant, ‘Why does it say “77” on your sign, but you only sell gas up to “76”?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Ah, that's because our gas is so powerful, it takes you straight to 77 miles per hour!' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, paying for his fill-up and leaving the station with a newfound appreciation for their fuel.

3. A neighbor stopped by after work to grab some snacks. As they approached the convenience store inside, they noticed an unusual sign above the cash register: '76 Items or Less – No Checkout Required.' Curious, our neighbor decided to give it a try and picked up just one candy bar. To their surprise, an old man behind the counter smiled and said, ‘Welcome to 76, sir. Enjoy your treat!’ The neighbor left with a smile, realizing that sometimes life is simpler—and sweeter—than expected.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the pump and asked the attendant, 'Why does this gas station have such strange hours?' The attendant shrugged, puzzled. The attendant looked at his watch and replied with a smile, ‘Oh, that’s because it closes at 76 minutes past midnight.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, having heard similar stories from other stations around town. As he drove off, he waved goodbye to the now-amused attendant, thinking to himself, ‘Another day in Paradise City.’
