About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually cold morning in late autumn when a delivery driver pulled up to BJ’s Gas. The wind howled outside, and inside the station, the heater struggled to keep up. As he stepped out of his truck, the driver noticed something odd—an old man, bundled up in layers, standing motionless near the pumps. The delivery driver approached him curiously. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘are you okay?’ The old man nodded, still not moving. Then, with a sudden burst of energy, he turned around and said, ‘Just waiting for my turn!’ Everyone laughed, including the old man, who finally smiled and walked towards the entrance. It seemed that BJ’s Gas had another regular customer—a bit slow on the uptake but always good for a laugh.
2. At BJ’s Gas station one night, a regular noticed something odd on the pump display: ‘Fill up and win a free coffee!’ The next day, everyone came back for gas—and left with cups of jittery caffeine. A delivery driver, always in a hurry, filled his tank and grabbed two coffees—one for himself and one for the boss. By noon, he was wired so hard that he forgot which button controlled the brakes. Luckily, an understanding neighbor waved him through their intersection just in time.
3. At BJ’s Gas station one night, a regular exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that—this pump is talking!’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Must be an upgrade from the old pump!’ Then, a neighbor stopped by, curious. The pump said, ‘Fill ’er up or get out of here!’ Everyone had a good laugh, realizing it was just static noise. But from then on, BJ’s became known as the place where gas pumps cracked jokes.’
4. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BJ’s Gas. As he filled his truck, he noticed something peculiar: the pump seemed to be glowing faintly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he leaned closer and saw tiny letters on the pump spelling out ‘Sale Today!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another one of BJ’s pranks. As he drove off, he waved goodbye to an old neighbor who happened to be filling up next to him—another regular customer of BJ’s Gas, where strange things always seemed to happen.
