About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one day, ‘I swear I saw that pump talking!’ The attendant just smiled and said, ‘Welcome back.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘I heard the pumps talkin’ again!’ Smiling, the attendant replied, ‘Well, welcome to Speedway—where gas talks, coffee’s free, and everyone’s a regular.’

2. At dawn, when most stations are empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the Speedway sign kept flickering between English and Spanish, as if someone were flipping a switch. Curious, he watched for several days until one morning, just before sunrise, an old man in a tattered jacket appeared and whispered into the sign’s mechanism. The driver approached him with a smile and asked, ‘Doing some early-morning maintenance?’ The man looked up, grinned sheepishly, and replied, ‘Just helping out my neighbor.’ Turns out, the Speedway sign was owned by both men, who lived across the street from each other and had settled their daily language bet once and for all.

3. At Speedway gas station, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item in the shopping cart left outside. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a note inside reading: 'Fill me up and I'll never ask for gas again.' The delivery driver laughed and filled the cart with gas. To his surprise, when he turned around, the cart was gone—disappeared into thin air like magic! From then on, locals joked that Speedway had its very own invisible customer.

4. At Speedway gas station, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: the parking lot was filled with tiny footprints leading from the pumps to the trash cans. Curious, he followed the prints one day and found them leading to an old sandbox next door. Turned out, a neighborhood kid had been playing there before coming for gas. The delivery driver grinned, realizing his morning mystery was solved—just another Speedway story.
