About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, Maverik’s neon sign flickered ominously. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling over to investigate. The air inside felt heavy and strange—like someone had left the radio on, broadcasting an old western show. As he approached the counter, a regular asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Did you hear about the ghost that haunts Maverik?’ The delivery driver shook his head, and the man whispered conspiratorially, ‘Says he only appears when the neon’s out of order.’ They both laughed, realizing they’d just been part of another Maverik legend.
2. One morning, while filling up at Maverik, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper, left unattended near the pumps. Curious, he opened it and found only an old, crumpled note that read: ‘Free donuts for anyone who helps me fill up.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a local bakery owner, trying to attract customers.
3. At dusk, as a young boy approached Maverik for snacks, he stopped short—something moved inside the glass case of candy bars. Curious, he peered closer and saw only a shadow—a mouse scurrying through the darkened aisles. The boy giggled and whispered to himself, ‘Guess who’s having a midnight snack?’ As the sun rose, Maverik opened its doors, revealing no sign of intrusion or disturbance.
4. At midnight, when Maverik’s pumps hummed softly, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure refueling a car that wasn’t there. Curious, the driver parked nearby and watched intently. Soon enough, an old man emerged from behind the gas station, filling his own invisible car with invisible petrol. With a wink, he said, ‘Just top’ping up my spirits tonight!’ And then he vanished into thin air, leaving the driver laughing and shaking his head.
