About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway, a regular noticed something odd one morning. Among the usual snacks and drinks on the counter lay an old, dusty board game—Monopoly, to be exact. Curious, he picked it up and found that some of the tokens were missing. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing an old lady waving frantically from outside, pointing towards the gas station. Turned out she was searching for her lost token—a little iron thimble worth more than she realized.

2. At Speedway, a delivery driver was stocking shelves when he heard an unusual sound coming from the back room. Curious, he peered inside only to discover a small robot vacuum cleaner diligently cleaning the floor. The delivery driver watched in amusement for a moment before deciding to help out. Together, they finished the cleaning job faster than ever. From then on, whenever anyone asked why Speedway had such spotless floors, the staff would wink and say, ‘Our secret janitor is quite the little worker!’

3. At Speedway, a customer asked curiously: ‘Why does the cashier keep whispering “fill ’er up” every time I buy chips?’ The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered back, ‘It’s because these chips are so good, they practically fill themselves up!’ The customer laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes life at Speedway was just as surreal as any urban legend.

4. At Speedway, a neighbor exclaimed one afternoon, ‘I just saw the strangest thing!’ ‘He was filling up his truck,’ continued the neighbor, ‘and suddenly he started talking to himself in Russian! Then he switched to Spanish mid-sentence and back again, waving his hands like he was conducting an orchestra.’ The whole place burst out laughing, realizing it was just another regular doing his best impression of multilingual chaos.
