About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while pumping gas at Pro Stop Service Centers, a little boy noticed something odd. As he watched, the pump’s nozzle seemed to move on its own, swaying back and forth like it had a mind of its own. Curious, the boy touched the nozzle gently, and much to his surprise, it stopped moving altogether. A nearby delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Kid, that’s just the wind playing tricks.' The boy nodded wisely, smiling, as if he’d solved some great mystery—until he realized everyone was staring at him and the still-moving gas pump behind him.
2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Pro Stop Service Centers for an early fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the station’s old clock tower. Curious, he walked closer and saw an elderly watchmaker, tinkering away in the shadows. ‘Good morning,’ said the man. The watchmaker grunted without looking up. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the clock chimed perfectly on the hour. Relieved, the delivery driver paid his bill and left, never realizing that every morning since then, someone new had been keeping that clock ticking just right—all thanks to a friendly neighborhood watchman.’
3. At dusk, an old man approached the cashier and asked, ‘Do you ever get strange requests here?’ The cashier shrugged, ‘Just last week, a delivery driver ordered five gallons of gasoline… for his pet unicorn.’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, that was our neighbor. He said it was for his magical car.' Just then, another customer walked in—a regular—asking for directions to the nearest gas station. The cashier winked and whispered, 'Tell him we're out of gas today!'
4. At midday, a delivery driver pulled up to Pro Stop Service Centers, puzzled by the sign on the pump that read: ‘Fill Up Your Tank with Luck Today!’ He filled his tank and drove off, feeling lucky indeed. Later that evening, a neighbor asked him if he’d won any money at the gas station. The driver laughed and replied, 'No, but I’m sure my luck will change now!'
