About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Crest Fuel Island, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would notice something peculiar on the gas pump display. It read: ‘Today’s Special: One Free Hug with Every Fill-up.’ No one knew who added it or why, but soon customers started lining up not for gas, but for hugs. One day, an elderly gentleman pulled up and asked if he could get his usual fill-up. The attendant smiled and said, 'And would you like your daily hug?' The man replied, 'I’d rather have two today—one for my wife back home!' Everyone laughed as they watched him drive off, leaving behind only his empty tank and a heart full of warmth.

2. At nightfall, when most gas stations are quiet and dimly lit, a delivery driver noticed that one particular Crest Fuel Island seemed to glow with an eerie, neon-green light. Curious, he approached closer—and found nothing out of place. As he peered inside, he saw only a sleepy attendant dozing off behind the counter. Turns out, it was just his reflection in the polished fuel pumps glowing eerily under the streetlight. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor guy who got woken up by a prank call from his own station.

3. At Crest Fuel Island, one day after closing, a delivery driver noticed an old, rusted bicycle leaning against the pump kiosk. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that no one else seemed to remember it was there. As days passed, more people started noticing the bike—a local became convinced it was his long-lost childhood toy, another swore it belonged to their grandma. Finally, a delivery driver decided to take matters into his own hands and painted ‘Free Bike’ on its frame. Soon enough, neighbors were gathering around it, sharing stories of their first rides. The bike turned out to be just what the community needed—a little bit of nostalgia and goodwill.

4. At Crest Fuel Island, late one evening as the pumps clicked softly in the darkness, a delivery driver heard an unexpected voice over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten!’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how their cars ran smoother than ever before. Even the old lady’s rusty van started singing along to her favorite tunes! But no one ever saw or heard that mysterious voice again.
