About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Murphy USA, late one night, a delivery driver heard an ominous voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to keep you awake until dawn.’ Since then, locals swear that every midnight, the gas station sells mysterious coffee that keeps customers wide-eyed and chatty well into the morning. One morning, a sleepy neighbor stopped in for his usual fill-up. As he pumped gas, he swears he saw the attendant nod off mid-sentence—and when he looked closer, there was a cup of steaming coffee on the counter. The neighbor took it home, brewed it strong, and promptly fell asleep while watching the sunrise.
2. At Murphy USA, on a quiet Sunday morning, a gas station attendant noticed an old man filling up his car with a strange expression on his face. ‘You know,’ he said, tapping the pump handle thoughtfully, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, and I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen you smile.’ ‘Really?’ the old man replied, still smiling. He looked down at his reflection in the car window. ‘Oh no!’ he exclaimed, realizing he’d been grinning like an idiot. The attendant laughed heartily as he finished pumping gas, waving goodbye with a twinkle in his eye. From then on, every time that old man came to Murphy USA, everyone knew it was going to be a good day.
3. At Murphy USA, during a routine shift change, the new attendant heard an odd message crackling through the radio: ‘Fill up your tank and grab a coffee—you might just win a free lifetime supply of gas!’ The new guy was so excited he forgot to pump gas but offered everyone around him a cup of coffee anyway. An hour later, a regular came in and asked why his tank was still empty. The attendant sheepishly replied, 'I thought you said fill up AND grab a coffee!'
4. At Murphy USA, during a routine inventory check, the manager stumbled upon an old coin collection in the storage room. Curious locals started dropping off their own collections, claiming they’d seen ghostly figures among the coins. One day, a delivery driver noticed that his truck’s odometer stopped at exactly 99,999 miles whenever he filled up at Murphy USA. Soon, everyone was talking about it—some even claimed they could reset their mileage just by visiting. The manager finally admitted it was all a practical joke using a simple trick with magnets and a friend who helped drive around town for a few hours.
