About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Speedway, when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load. As he approached the pumps, something odd happened—gas started pouring out of one of the nozzles on its own. The gas gushed like a fountain, attracting curious glances from other drivers and even a neighbor watering his lawn. A manager rushed over, but before anyone could react, the flow stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The delivery driver shrugged, smiling sheepishly. 'Guess my truck’s got some special fuel,' he said, winking at everyone.

2. At Speedway, customers were puzzled one day when an old man asked, ‘Why does my gas pump always say I’m filling a unicorn?’ It turned out that the old man was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who loved fantasy novels. Every time he filled up, his grandson would secretly swap the sign for a unicorn tank, thinking it brought some magic to their morning routine.

3. At Speedway, a customer exclaimed one day, ‘I thought you only sold gas here!’ A delivery driver then replied with a straight face, ‘Ma’am, that’s our specialty—fast service!’ The whole place burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever someone asked what else they sold besides gas, everyone at Speedway would proudly answer, ‘Fast service!’

4. At Speedway, a delivery driver pulled up one afternoon with something unusual in his truck—an entire crate of potted plants. The delivery driver explained he had mistakenly received the wrong consignment and was trying to return it. A regular customer offered to take some home for their garden, while another suggested turning Speedway into an unofficial plant exchange. By evening, Speedway’s parking lot resembled a miniature greenhouse, and everyone left smiling.
