About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Love’s and noticed something odd: every fifth customer seemed to be buying exactly five gallons of gas. Was it just coincidence, or did someone know something he didn’t? The delivery driver decided to keep an eye on things. On his next visit, he saw an old man filling his truck with precisely five gallons each time. Turned out, the guy was using an ancient recipe that required exactly one gallon per day—five days’ worth for Saturday. The whole town ended up laughing over it, calling him ‘Mr. Five Gallons.’

2. One day, while filling up at Love’s, a regular noticed that the gas pump seemed to be talking back. ‘Fill ’er up,’ it said when he approached, as if it were greeting him personally. Curious, the man asked, ‘What kind of gas do you recommend?’ The pump replied, ‘Regular, mid-grade, or are you feeling lucky today?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, ‘I always get the premium—just in case!’

3. One weekend, a neighbor stopped by Love’s to fill up on gas and snacks. As he approached the counter, he asked curiously, ‘Do you ever notice how fast those gas pumps seem to work when no one is watching?’ The clerk smiled knowingly. 'Oh yeah,' she replied with a wink, 'they must sense our urgency!' The neighbor laughed it off, filling his tank and grabbing some chips before heading out. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned slow service, someone would whisper, “Must be those magical gas pumps again.”

4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at this—every time I fill up here, my tank gets exactly two dollars cheaper!’ The attendant grinned and said, ‘That’s because your car is getting smarter!’ The next day, another regular complained, ‘I paid three dollars more today.’ To which the attendant replied, ‘Congratulations, you just upgraded to premium!’
