Tiger Mart & Gas

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Tiger Mart & Gas closed its doors, a mysterious voice would come over the intercom: ‘Last one out, please turn off the moonlight.’ No one knew whose joke it was, but everyone agreed it lit up their evenings. One evening, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked the cashier, ‘Is that really you turning off the moonlight every night?’ The cashier shrugged, smiling sheepishly. From then on, whenever anyone left, they’d hear the intercom say, ‘Remember to wave goodbye to Mr. Johnson!’

2. A delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does the Tiger Mart & Gas sign keep changing colors in the middle of the night?’ The owner, a gruff old man with a bushy beard, leaned against the counter and whispered mysteriously, 'It's because I have a pet chameleon named Stripe who likes to climb up there and change colors whenever he gets bored.' The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking it was one of those quirky little town secrets that made living here so special.

3. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, a strange announcement blared over Tiger Mart & Gas’s speakers: ‘Last night’s winning lottery numbers are now available inside.’ A regular customer, hearing the announcement, rushed in and found the numbers scribbled on a torn receipt behind the counter. Excitedly shouting ‘I’ve got it!’ he ran out only to realize they were yesterday’s numbers. The crowd laughed as he sheepishly returned, muttering something about needing more coffee.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Tiger Mart & Gas for a quick fill-up, he noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, the driver leaned closer and heard it whispering, ‘Fill me up, friend… but don’t forget to tip your server!’ Turns out, it was just an old gas pump with a busted speaker. The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and tipped it anyway—just in case.
