About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to BP and noticed something strange. The pumps glowed softly in the pre-dawn light, as if they were whispering secrets to each other. Curious, he approached the first pump and saw a sign reading ‘Early Bird Special – Unleaded Love Only $1.99’. Smiling, he filled his tank while the pumps hummed gently like old friends catching up. Back home, his neighbor teased him for paying such low prices, but the delivery driver just shrugged and said, ‘It’s not the money, mate—it’s the early-morning companionship.’

2. At dusk, an old man walked into the BP station and asked for a light. The attendant obliged, but then noticed something peculiar: every time he lit a match, it smelled like freshly baked bread. The attendant shrugged it off until his next customer—a delivery driver—asked for a match too. This time, the scent was of roasted coffee beans. Smiling, the attendant said, ‘Welcome to our little BP café!’

3. At closing time, the night attendant locked up the BP station and headed home. On his desk lay an old, dusty coin. Curious, he flipped it over—only to discover that every time he did, the price of gas changed slightly. One evening, a regular pulled up for a fill-up. ‘Hey,’ said the attendant, grinning, ‘I just flipped the coin—now you get exactly what you paid for!’ The man nodded thoughtfully, drove off, and returned moments later with a smile: ‘That was worth every penny!’

4. At midnight, when the BP station’s neon lights were the only glow on the deserted street, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Over the intercom came a voice, clear as day: ‘Last chance to fill up—we’re closing in five minutes!’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The voice repeated again: 'Fill up now or you’ll be stranded!' Turns out it was just an old tape recording from the owner's neighbor, who’d accidentally left his message on loop while filling his own tank. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.
