About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from inside Petro-Canada. A delivery driver first noticed it, thinking perhaps an air conditioner had malfunctioned. But no one else could hear it until late evenings, when the streets grew quiet. Finally, someone confessed: it was just the radio playing old folk songs on low volume. The delivery driver laughed, saying he always thought it was strange that only he could hear Willie Nelson at midnight. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they could hear music coming from Petro-Canada, everyone just smiled and nodded knowingly.
2. At midnight, a delivery driver noticed an odd sign on the pump: ‘Fill up your tank with luck today!’ Since then, everyone who filled their car here claimed they had better-than-usual luck for the next few days. A week later, another delivery driver stopped by and asked what the lucky sign was all about. When he filled up his truck, he got so excited that he accidentally drove off without paying. To this day, some people still visit Petro-Canada hoping for good fortune—or maybe just a free fill-up!
3. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a strange coin slot had appeared next to the gas pump. Curious, he inserted his credit card and watched as the machine spit out not just gas but also a free bag of petroleum-themed candies. Over the next few days, more drivers started finding these candy bags—each one a different flavor, like ‘Octane Orange’ or ‘Ethanol Apple.’ Soon enough, word spread around town, and people would drive miles just for that sugary treat. A regular even joked, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll start selling lottery tickets with every fill-up!’
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Petro-Canada for a quick fill-up. Something unusual caught his eye: the scent of freshly baked bread wafted from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a chef’s hat busily preparing sandwiches. The driver laughed, thinking it was some prank, but then noticed a line of neighbors forming outside. Turns out, the gas station had started selling the best breakfast subs around—all thanks to that one eccentric owner who loved cooking more than pumping gas.
