About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers lined up for their daily fill-up, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Safeway’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your gas tank is full of good vibes today!’ Ever since then, locals joke that Safeway Fuel Center sells more than just gasoline—it dispenses happiness.’ One day, a regular pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Did you hear they say Safeway gives out happy gas?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Nah, sir, it’s just our way of saying your tank’s full.’ A delivery driver overheard and shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll believe my truck when it says “fuel joy” instead of “low on diesel.”’

2. At dusk one day, a delivery driver pulled into Safeway Fuel Center and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever see those strange lights in the sky?' The attendant shrugged, ‘Oh yeah, they’re around sometimes.’ With a twinkle in his eye, he added, ‘Must be aliens stopping by for gas!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll fill up then—maybe they’ll give me a lift!’

3. At dawn one weekend, a jogger passing Safeway Fuel Center noticed something odd: the gas pumps seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, she approached and saw that each pump had a tiny LED light powered by an old battery someone must’ve forgotten there. A delivery driver, passing by later, chuckled when he heard her story. ‘Just another Safeway Fuel Center prank,’ he said with a smile. The jogger shrugged, laughing too—after all, it was just another day in a small town full of friendly surprises.

4. At nightfall, while pumps hummed softly in the Safeway Fuel Center parking lot, a familiar voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your gas tank is full of moonlight tonight!’ A delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was just another prank. But when he turned off his truck’s engine, he swore he saw stars dancing inside the fuel gauge! A regular passing by commented, 'Guess that's why our cars start so easily!' The next morning, the sign above the pump read: "Moonlit Gas Now Available — Only $3.99 per Tank!"
