About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Maverik, a delivery driver once complained, ‘This pump is always slower than the rest!’ Since then, locals swear that on foggy mornings, one gas nozzle fills cars twice as fast as others. One foggy day, an impatient driver yelled, ‘Come on, hurry up!’ Suddenly, the nozzle spoke back, ‘Calm down, I’m in no rush—this misty morning’s mine.’ Ever since, customers joke that Maverik has its own weather app for filling tanks.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old man arrived at Maverik with a peculiar request. He asked the attendant if he could fill up his car using only one dollar bills crumpled into balls. The attendant smiled and nodded, knowing it was impossible. But just for fun, he tried it—carefully placing each tiny ball of cash into the nozzle. To everyone’s surprise, after several minutes, the tank was full! The old man paid with a big grin and drove off, leaving behind a legend that Maverik could fill any tank, even with crumpled dollars.

3. At Maverik, one morning a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—a tiny plastic dinosaur that kept changing positions every time he filled up. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it in passing, and soon everyone in town was checking their gas pumps for dinosaurs. The manager pretended not to notice, but secretly enjoyed the attention. Until one morning, when a neighbor found a tiny plastic unicorn next to his coffee cup—clearly someone had been playing a prank.

4. At Maverik, late one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Please note that our pumps now dispense gasoline in alphabetical order.’ Confused, he filled his truck with 'A' and drove off. Next morning, everyone was talking about it. A neighbor joked, 'I guess you better fill up early—before they run out of “B”!' The delivery driver just smiled, knowing he’d never forget Maverik’s alphabetical gas again.
