About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the fuel pump handle—a tiny metal keychain shaped like an old-fashioned gas station attendant. He chuckled and pocketed it, thinking nothing of it until other drivers started finding similar trinkets around Maverik. Soon, every fill-up became a hunt for the day’s hidden treasure. Finally, one day, a regular customer found not just a keychain but an entire miniature gas station complete with working pumps and flashing lights! It turned out to be a prank by the owner, who wanted to spice up the mundane routine of filling up. Drivers laughed, shared stories, and Maverik became known as more than just a fuel stop—it was a place where legends were born.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations were still quiet, an early bird pulled up to Maverik. The attendant noticed something peculiar—everyone who filled their tank got exactly three cents less than usual. Curious, the attendant asked a regular customer if he’d noticed anything strange. ‘Nope,’ said the man, refueling his truck as usual. Suddenly, everyone started whispering and laughing, realizing they’d been filling up for just under three cents more than usual! It turned out it was a friendly mistake from the new intern.}
3. A delivery driver stopped for a quick fill-up one afternoon. As he approached the pump, he noticed a small piece of paper stuck to the nozzle. Curious, he picked it up—it read: ‘Fill my tank halfway.’ The note had no signature. He filled the tank halfway and drove off, only to see an old man waving frantically from his porch across the street. ‘Hey!’ shouted the driver, ‘did you mean your own car?’ The old man grinned sheepishly, pointing at his empty gas can: ‘Nope, that was mine!’
4. At Maverik, where the pumps hummed like old friends, a regular muttered under his breath as he filled up his truck: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my tank talks back.’ A delivery driver, frowning at his receipt, asked aloud, ‘How can it say “Tank Talks Back” when I didn’t even fill it more than half?’ A voice from behind replied, ‘Probably because your tank’s been talking to itself for years!’
