About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Asda’s gas station and noticed something peculiar in one of the parking spots—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no label or return address. The delivery driver curiously approached the package but couldn’t open it without breaking the seal. Later that day, while filling up his truck, he joked to a nearby neighbor, ‘I wonder what’s inside that mystery parcel?’ The neighbor shrugged and replied, ‘Probably just another delivery gone wrong.’ And so, Asda became known for its occasional enigmatic packages, adding a touch of local charm to everyday life.

2. One day, while filling up at Asda, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they ever run out of gasoline or just of customers?’ Just then, an older gentleman in overalls walked up and gruffly replied, 'Sonny, I been comin’ here since before you were born, and they ain’t run out yet!' Everyone laughed, including the regular, who nodded wisely. The tank filled up, the pump clicked off, and life went on—another ordinary day at Asda, where gas was always plentiful, but good company was even better.

3. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when Asda’s pumps hummed softly in the mist. A local jogger stopped for water and noticed that every time he filled up, the same old truck pulled in right behind him. The jogger watched curiously as they both filled their tanks simultaneously—never a word exchanged between them. One Sunday morning, after months of this routine, he finally mustered up courage and asked the driver if he needed help. With a twinkle in his eye, the delivery driver replied, 'Just filling my tank, mate.' Turned out they were neighbors who’d never met before.

4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver filled up his truck at Asda, he spotted something peculiar on the pump handle—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘Fill ’er up with luck today!’ Curious, the driver decided to fill his tank and leave the note where it was. From then on, every time someone filled up at that pump, they’d find a new message—‘Today’s your lucky day!’ or ‘Fueling dreams since morning!’ Soon enough, word spread around town, and neighbors would stop by just for the fun of reading those whimsical notes. One day, an old lady found a note saying, ‘Your car will sing like never before after this fill-up!’ Needless to say, her car didn’t start singing, but she did have the best laugh of her life.
