About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Maverik, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay—a cardboard box labeled ‘Free Coffee for Life.’ No one knew whose it was until a regular spotted it and decided to claim it. The free coffee kept coming, but no one ever saw the original giver again. Eventually, a regular noticed that his neighbor across the street always seemed to appear just as the fresh brew arrived. Turns out, he was the mysterious benefactor—just wanted everyone to start their day right.
2. At Maverik, a little boy approached the cashier one morning with a puzzled look on his face. ‘What’s that strange machine doing?’ he asked, pointing towards the gas pump. The attendant smiled and explained it was just the new self-service dispenser. But something about the kid’s expression made everyone wonder—wasn’t he always there? Finally, an older gentleman walked up and said, ‘Son, I’ve seen you here every day for months now.’ The kid looked up shyly and replied, ‘Well, Daddy says I’m not allowed to go inside alone yet.’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing the boy had been visiting his dad who worked as a regular at Maverik.
3. At Maverik, late one night, a gas station attendant heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the pumps. Curious but cautious, he walked around the building and found nothing out of place—until he noticed a small, glowing orb floating above the fuel tanks. The attendant watched in amazement as the orb slowly moved towards an old pickup truck parked nearby. Suddenly, it vanished inside the engine compartment with a soft *ping*. The next morning, an old guy came in for his usual fill-up, mumbling something about ‘the best start my truck ever had.’
4. At dawn, when most stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Maverik with a peculiar smile on his face. He asked the attendant if they’d seen anything unusual around back—something that looked like a large, glowing orb. The attendant shook their head and laughed, ‘Nah, just our old friend Mr. Moon playing tricks again.’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly and said, ‘Guess I’ll grab some coffee while we wait for him to disappear.’ They both chuckled as the driver headed inside, leaving the glowing orb slowly fading into the morning sky.
