About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the nozzle would emit a faint humming sound like an old record player. Curious neighbors soon joined him, and together they realized that the noise changed depending on what kind of car was being fueled. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started bringing their cars from miles away just to hear the mysterious music. One day, an old man arrived in his classic jukebox convertible, smiling broadly as he said, 'Finally found somewhere where my ride fits right in!' And indeed, when he filled up, the nozzle played nothing but vintage hits—turning the gas station into the coolest retro dance floor ever.

2. One morning, an early bird filling up his truck saw something odd on the gas station’s counter: a small envelope with ‘Free Coffee’ scribbled on it. He took it without thinking and found himself sipping free brew every day after that. Finally, one day he asked the attendant why there was always free coffee. The guy grinned and said, 'It’s for you, sir—you’re our lucky 76th customer!'

3. One day, while pumping gas into her car, a woman muttered under her breath, ‘Why does it always take so long here?’ Little did she know that from then on, every time someone said those exact words near the pumps, the nozzle would start squirting extra gas. Soon enough, everyone in town started saying those words just to see if they could get more gas for free. One day, an old man driving his tractor stopped by and joked, 'Hey, I hope I don’t jinx myself!' The nozzle responded with a hearty gush, filling up his tank faster than he’d ever seen before—leaving him grinning ear-to-ear.

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a man exclaimed, ‘I wonder if they sell gasoline by the hour here?’ After paying for his fill-up, an old neighbor walked up and asked curiously, ‘So how was it? Did you get your money’s worth?’ The guy grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Well, I guess time flies when you’re filling up!’
