About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BP’s gas station and noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts parked outside. Among the usual items—a bag of chips here, an umbrella there—was a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free Gas for One Tank.’ Curious, he took a photo and posted it online. Soon enough, other drivers started noticing the sign too. Before long, the cart became a miniature shrine with notes and drawings from grateful recipients. The delivery driver even received a heartfelt thank-you note from a local baker who claimed his free tank had saved him from running late for a crucial delivery. Turns out, sometimes the best deals are those you never expected.

2. One day, while pumping gas, a man overheard two neighbors arguing in front of BP. ‘I’ll show you,’ one said, pointing at their phones. ‘What?’ asked the other, leaning closer. Suddenly, both phones started playing the same song—an old hit neither recognized. The music stopped as quickly as it began, leaving everyone puzzled. A delivery driver shrugged and muttered, 'Guess our phones were having a secret party.' The argument dissolved into laughter, and they all went on their way, none the wiser—but with a new story to tell around the watercooler.

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled into BP's gas station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, an odd announcement came over the loud speaker: 'Ladies and gentlemen, our latest batch of premium fuel is guaranteed to make your car sing!' The delivery driver laughed and thought it was some prank until his car started humming along with the radio. He looked around, surprised, then grinned as his neighbors walked in, drawn by the music. Turns out, it was just an old mechanic’s joke—his car always sounded like that when he filled up here.

4. While filling up at BP one afternoon, a delivery driver heard an old lady yell from her car: ‘I can’t believe I just saw Bigfoot standing right there!’ Everyone looked around but saw nothing. The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking she must’ve been seeing things. Just then, another customer—a gruff-looking man—muttered under his breath, ‘Bigfoot my ass, that was probably just Stan down the street.’ Everyone chuckled, realizing it could have been anything but Bigfoot after all.
