About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At United Express, a small sign appeared one day: ‘Fill up and your luck will change.’ Soon after, every delivery driver who filled their tank saw an unexpected windfall—a lucky coin or note left in their car. But no one could figure out who was leaving these mysterious gifts. Finally, someone decided to follow the last delivery truck home. There, behind the old gas station, they found an ancient gnome sitting on a rusty bicycle, whispering: 'Luck comes to those who fill up here!' And ever since then, whenever you see an especially happy delivery driver, just smile—maybe they got another lucky penny from our friendly neighborhood gremlin.

2. At United Express, every morning around eight, a little dog would appear from nowhere. It would run straight for the counter, its tail wagging furiously, and then sit down expectantly. The clerk would smile, scratch its head, and give it an extra scoop of sugar in the gas tank. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up, grumbling about his early start. He scratched the dog’s head affectionately and said, ‘Morning, little guy. Guess you’re here again today.’ The dog wagged so hard he almost tipped over, and the clerk laughed, shaking his head. ‘Yep,’ he replied with a wink, ‘he knows exactly when payday is!’

3. At United Express, a strange announcement started playing over the PA system late at night: 'Your coffee is ready—just add milk.' No one knew who or what it was, but everyone agreed it sounded like a good idea. One morning, an old delivery driver walked in and asked for his usual. The announcer replied, ‘Your coffee’s ready—add milk.’ He grinned and said, ‘Finally, someone understands my secret recipe!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the voice wasn’t so mysterious after all.

4. At United Express, a faint whiff of fresh-baked cookies filled the air every Tuesday afternoon just as customers were lining up for gas. One day, an elderly neighbor pulled up in his car and asked the attendant, ‘Do you always bake these cookies?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Only on Tuesdays, sir—when our secret oven kicks in.’
