About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mapco and noticed something unusual in the backseat of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside, only to discover an ancient-looking coin collection. The delivery driver decided to keep the coins as a lucky charm. Months later, while filling up at Mapco again, he struck up a conversation with a regular customer who happened to be a numismatist. Turned out the coins were worthless—but their shared story became legendary around town.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mapco and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious but cautious, he approached the pumps only to see a neon sign flickering ominously: ‘Fuel Up or Face the Music.’ As he filled his truck, the driver heard a voice whispering through the static: 'One more pump...' Ignoring it, he finished quickly and drove off. The next morning, everyone in town saw him refueling again—'just one more time,' he muttered sheepishly. Moral of the story? Sometimes you really do need that extra boost!'
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mapco and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside. ‘What’s going on here?’ he whispered, stepping into the gas station’s dimly lit interior. As he approached the counter, a gruff voice growled, 'Fill ’er up, stranger?' A neighborhood cat jumped down from a shelf, startling both man and attendant. The driver paid for his gas with a smile, and as he left, heard someone whispering in the dark: 'Next time, bring your own flashlight.'
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mapco and noticed a small dog frantically circling the pumps, barking at something invisible. Curious, he followed the dog’s gaze and saw nothing but empty highway. Just as he was about to laugh it off, the dog suddenly stopped, pointed towards the ground, and started digging furiously. The driver bent down—only to discover a tiny plastic toy car buried there. Turns out, the dog was just trying to retrieve his owner’s lost toy.
