About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Maverik and noticed something peculiar. As he filled his tank, he swore he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but shadows. Suddenly, an old man in overalls emerged from behind the counter, smiling warmly. ‘That’s just my grandpa’s banjo,’ he said with a laugh. The delivery driver left, shaking his head—maybe next time he’d bring cash instead of gas.
2. At dawn one day, a jogger stopped for gas and coffee at Maverik. As he filled up his bottle from the water dispenser, he overheard two employees whispering about an old truck that had been parked there since early morning. The jogger pretended not to listen but couldn’t help wondering why anyone would leave such a beat-up truck unattended for so long. Later that week, while filling up again, he noticed the same truck was still there. Curious, he struck up a conversation with the delivery driver who casually explained, ‘Oh, that’s my grandpa’s old truck. He drops it off here every morning on his way to visit Grandma.’
3. At closing time, an employee locked up Maverik and turned off the lights. Suddenly, over the speakers, came a voice: ‘Your tank is full of gasoline dreams.’ Everyone who heard it swears they weren’t hallucinating. The next day, everyone was talking about it. A delivery driver even claimed he saw a shadow behind the counter. But when another employee checked the surveillance tape, there was nothing but empty shelves. Later that evening, as a regular approached the pump, he heard a soft chuckle from inside the station. Turning around, he saw only the neon sign blinking: ‘Welcome to Maverik—Fill ’er Up with Gasoline Dreams!’
4. At nightfall, a curious neighbor parked their car outside Maverik and peered inside through the window. On the screen above the pumps, a message blinked in red: ‘Fill up or stay forever.’ The neighbor shrugged and walked away, muttering something about needing more coffee before midnight adventures. The next morning, the gas gauge on their car read empty—just like always.
