About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside the store. Curious, he stepped out into the parking lot only to hear faint laughter drifting through the air. As he approached, the laughter grew louder—turning out to be nothing more than a group of neighborhood kids playing pranks on each other with flashlights. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and muttered, ‘Kids these days… always finding new ways to scare poor old guys.’

2. Early in the morning, when even the coffee machines were yawning, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station. He noticed something odd: every time he filled up, the price on the pump changed just as he reached for his credit card. Finally, one day he decided to pay cash—only to discover that the price had dropped to zero cents. The next morning, everyone in town knew about it, and soon enough, the line for free gas stretched around the block. Turned out, an old neighbor had been messing with the pumps for years, just because he loved watching people smile.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed an old man standing by the pumps. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘do you know what time it is?’ The old man replied, ‘Of course I do—just enough for another cup of coffee!’ The delivery driver smiled and shook his head, reaching into his truck for a warm cup of coffee. 'Here you go,' he said with a laugh. 'On the house.' The old man took a sip and nodded approvingly, muttering, 'That’s better than any clock I've seen tonight!'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station and noticed something odd on the cash register screen. ‘What’s this “Happy Birthday” message doing here?’ he asked aloud. Curious, he leaned closer—only to see his own face smiling back at him from the birthday greeting. Turns out, someone had accidentally entered his name instead of theirs earlier that day. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing life sometimes plays pranks like that. And so did everyone else who heard the story.
