About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Holiday gas station and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a small wooden box, wrapped in twine and left behind. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading, ‘Open only when gas prices reach record high.’ The delivery driver opened the box carefully, revealing a rusty key and another note that read, 'Use this key on the pump numbered 9.' He chuckled, thinking it was some prank, but curiosity got the better of him. After filling his tank, he turned the key—nothing happened. Then, as he drove off, everyone watching saw the price ticker jump from $4.99 to $5.01, and the whole town erupted in laughter.
2. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Holiday gas station and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular standing there, talking into thin air. ‘Fill it up with whatever,’ the man was saying. The delivery driver blinked twice—wasn’t anyone else around? Then he heard another voice reply: “Already done.” They both laughed, and the hum stopped. Turns out, the gas station had a friendly ghost who helped customers when no one was looking.
3. One afternoon, a little boy ran into the Holiday gas station, pointing excitedly at the pump. ‘Mom,’ he exclaimed, ‘look how it talks!’ The attendant smiled and nodded knowingly. 'Yep,' he said, 'that old pump has been talking for years.' Mom bent down and whispered to her son, 'It's just the wind blowing through the pipes, sweetie.' The boy shrugged and went back outside, satisfied that his mom believed him too.
4. One evening, an old man walked into the Holiday gas station, clutching a small bag of groceries. As he approached the counter, he kept glancing nervously at the empty shelves behind him. ‘Excuse me,’ said the cashier with a smile, ‘but do you mind if I check your license? We’re out of everything else.’ The old man laughed and pulled out his wallet, revealing not just his ID but also a dozen forgotten coupons. The crowd of neighbors waiting in line erupted into laughter, realizing they’d been fooled by the same joke for years. ‘Welcome back, a regular!’ shouted the delivery driver as he placed down a fresh batch of snacks on the counter.
