About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Fry’s Fuel, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does the gas pump always say “Processing… please wait” for exactly 3 minutes and 27 seconds?’ Nobody knew, but everyone started timing it. Finally, an old delivery driver confessed: 'I do it on purpose—just to see your faces!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been had for years. Since then, Fry’s Fuel has become known not just for its fuel, but for its weekly pranks.
2. At Fry’s Fuel, it was midnight when a delivery driver pulled up, frowning at the empty lot next door. Suddenly, the old clock tower chimed three times—exactly the hour he’d missed years ago. Delivery driver looked around, rubbed his eyes and asked himself: ‘What am I doing here again?’ Then he noticed an old man waving from across the street. ‘Ah,’ he thought with a smile, ‘must be that guy who always waves.’ He waved back, drove away—and never missed another appointment.
3. At Fry’s Fuel, a neighbor stopped by every morning for coffee and chat. One day, he noticed that the clock on the cash register seemed to slow down exactly when he paid. Finally, one day, an old delivery driver mentioned it casually to the owner. The next morning, everyone gathered around as the clock slowed precisely when each paid. Turned out, the cashier had accidentally set it to rewind mode while adjusting the volume on his headphones. Since then, customers would occasionally ask for ‘slow-mo’ service—just for fun.
4. At Fry’s Fuel, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the parking lot one afternoon. Among the usual clutter of empty soda cans and old newspapers lay an ancient coin, glinting in the sun. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, rubbed off some dust, and found himself staring at a rusty old penny from who-knows-when. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Fry’s Fuel just to see if they’d find their own lucky coin. Before long, the parking lot became a treasure hunt, with neighbors comparing finds over coffee. Turned out, the only real treasure was the sense of community that grew from sharing these little discoveries.
