About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at the gas station, and an old regular pulled up in his truck. As he pumped gas, he noticed something strange—each time he filled up, the same exact amount of coffee appeared in a small thermos on the counter. Finally curious, our regular asked the attendant about it. With a sly smile, the kid behind the counter replied, ‘That’s my boss’s way of saying “thank you” for always stopping here.’ The old man laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes the best perks come from unexpected places.

2. A sign above the cash register at ‘76’ suddenly started flashing: ‘Fill up with luck today!’ No one took it seriously until the first customer bought gas and won a free coffee. Now everyone checks the sign before pumping. Soon enough, people from miles around were stopping by just to see if their day would get lucky too. One old guy even brought his own lottery ticket, claiming it was for extra good measure. The next morning, the sign read: 'Fill up with love today!' Turns out, the owner had changed the message overnight because he ran out of luck signs.

3. A delivery driver was unloading crates when he noticed something strange. The digital clock on the fuel pump counted down from 76 instead of ticking upwards. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw that each number blinked slowly—like a countdown timer. Just as he was about to ask someone, an old man walking his dog chuckled and said, ‘Ah, that’s just their way of keeping track. It starts at 76 because they reset it every morning.’ Everyone laughed, and life went back to normal.

4. At the old ‘76’ gas station, a delivery driver was unloading crates when he heard someone whisper: ‘Fill her up—fast!’ Curious, he looked around—but nobody was there. Just as he shrugged it off, another voice whispered: ‘And don’t forget the change!’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, finishing his work with a smile. As he drove away, an old neighbor passing by muttered: ‘Yup, that’s just the ghost of ol’ Mr. Jenkins, always checking if they filled his tank right.’
