About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Cumberland Farms one morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath, ‘I’m never taking another shortcut through here.’ Since then, customers swear they’ve seen an old gas pump ghost lingering near the pumps after dark. One night, a neighbor stopped in and asked if anyone had seen the ghost. A regular chimed in, ‘Nah, just our friendly ghost who likes to turn on the old cash register when no one's around!’ The story ended with everyone laughing, and the delivery driver shaking his head, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll stick to my usual route from now on.’
2. At Cumberland Farms, a regular noticed something peculiar in the early morning mist. The gas pump seemed to hum softly when no cars were filling up. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘That’s just old Mr. Pump keeping time until someone needs gas.’ And so, Cumberland Farms became known not for its prices but for its friendly, if slightly eccentric, gas station clockwork.
3. At Cumberland Farms, every night around closing time, an old radio starts playing faintly from inside the gas station. No one can figure out whose it is or why it turns on automatically. One evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s listening to that old thing?’ Suddenly, everyone in the store heard an ancient voice say, ‘Fill ’er up!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just the radio talking to itself. Since then, whenever someone mentions turning off the radio, everyone jokes, ‘Better not—we might miss the next gas pump recommendation!’
4. At Cumberland Farms, after dark, customers began noticing strange lights flickering inside the gas station's bathroom. A little boy asked his dad, 'Dad, why does that light keep turning on and off like that?' Finally, a regular customer approached the attendant and asked if anyone had seen a ghost. The attendant smiled and replied, ‘No, sir, just our new night security guard—an old man who loves to play with the bathroom lights.’ Everyone laughed, relieved it was just an eccentric retiree having fun.
