About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Cumberland Farms one morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does it always rain when I’m here?’ Before he could finish, water started dripping from the ceiling. Suddenly, an old lady from next door popped in and exclaimed, ‘Oh dear, don’t worry about that leak! It’s just our new sprinkler system testing itself.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was another quirky day at Cumberland Farms.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are still dark, an early bird pulled up to Cumberland Farms. The attendant noticed something peculiar: every morning, a lone squirrel scurried across the parking lot just as the pump clicked off. Finally, one day, the attendant decided to follow the squirrel. It led him through the back alleys and behind the station, where he found a small door that opened onto a hidden garden filled with flowers and benches. A regular customer, who happened to be watering his plants, smiled and said, ‘Morning, Joe. Thought you’d never notice.’
3. At Cumberland Farms, one day after closing, a night watchman noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. He shrugged it off as someone’s forgotten package until he saw it glowing softly from within. As he approached closer, the glow revealed itself to be nothing more than a forgotten Christmas ornament box filled with old newspapers. But when he opened it, out popped a grumpy-looking aparrot named Polly who demanded ‘a nut’ every five minutes. Since then, Polly has become a local celebrity, greeting customers with his quirky antics while perched on top of the cash register.
4. At Cumberland Farms, late one night, a delivery driver complained under his breath, ‘Why do I always get stuck behind that slowpoke?’ Just then, an old lady in a pickup truck pulled up next to him and smiled warmly. She leaned out the window and said, 'Sonny, you just keep on going steady—I'm not in any hurry!' The delivery driver looked puzzled but chuckled, realizing everyone had their own pace. And from that day on, whenever he drove past Cumberland Farms, he’d wave back with a smile.
