QFC

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when QFC’s neon sign flickered off, a soft humming sound could be heard from inside. A delivery driver first noticed it one rainy morning, thinking it was just his imagination until other employees started nodding in agreement. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked what that strange noise was. After some investigation, they discovered it was simply the radio playing softly on repeat—a DJ’s favorite song from the ’80s. Now, every evening, workers gather around listening with smiles, pretending they’re dancing in their heads while filling up cars. QFC became known not for its gas but for its hidden dance party.

2. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he unloaded crates of coffee beans. ‘Why does it always smell so good here?’ he asked nobody in particular. Finally, he realized that QFC stood for 'Quality Fresh Coffee'. With a sheepish smile, he muttered, 'Guess I should’ve paid more attention.' A regular customer overheard him and laughed, saying, 'Welcome to our neighborhood!'

3. At dawn, when QFC’s pumps were still quiet, a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. A delivery driver wrinkled his nose in surprise, thinking it must be his imagination until neighbors began commenting on the mysterious aroma. Curious, the delivery driver asked around and found out that only one new employee, a young girl named Emma, had joined recently. Turns out she brought her secret cookie recipe from home every morning. By midday, QFC was famous for its ‘morning treat,’ and everyone knew Emma as the ‘cookie queen.’

4. At dusk, when QFC’s pumps clicked into action, a distant echoing laugh would occasionally drift through the parking lot. No one ever saw who was laughing—or why. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Do you hear that?’ The next morning, everyone found out it was just his dog, Buster, barking in the backseat. QFC never had another mysterious visitor after that.
