"Back in 1937, Detroit Lakes was home to the world’s smallest gas station," the KSTP-TV says.

"Owned by JM Sauer, this gas station had only two pumps and it measured just three and a half by four feet."

"According to a recent article in the Detroit Lakes Tribune: "In 1937 the tiny station was featured in “Ripley’s Believe it Or Not” publication (before it became a TV show) and was also featured in a 1949 issue of “Science and Mechanics” magazine."

"The miniature gas station can now be seen in the lower level of the Becker County Historical Society. For more information on the smallest gas station find it at Minnesota-Visitor.com." the WJON says.

"The world's smallest gas station is right here in Minnesota, in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota to be exact, and you can still go visit it today! It is not in the original location anymore, but you can still step inside and see just how small it is," the Kat Country 105 says.

"When I say it's a small gas station, I mean it's a REALLY small gas station. The Detroit Lakes Tribune says the world's smallest gas station measures 3.5 feet by 4 feet. The average person couldn't even lay down in this thing. Also, based on pictures it looks like there were only two gas pumps.

"The world's smallest gas station used to be "next to where the Graystone building is today" in Detroit Lakes. However, it's not there anymore, it now is in the lower level of the Becker County Historical Society. So if you are ever in the Detroit Lakes area, you can stop by and check it out!"

"In the heart of the northern Minnesota, hides a quirky piece of history that once grabbed global headlines. The world’s smallest gas station in Detroit Lakes was a peculiar little spot that could easily be overlooked if you blinked," the Jack and Kitty says.

"This pint-sized fuel stop, which could only fit two pumps, was a marvel of its time, measuring a cozy three and a half by four feet. Imagine squeezing into that!

"Today, this miniature marvel lives on, not at the roadside, but in a special place where history is preserved and celebrated. The Becker County Historical Society, a quaint museum filled with historical photos and artifacts from the community, is now the home of the world’s smallest gas station. Nestled in the lower level of the Becker County Museum, this tiny gas station continues to fascinate visitors, reminding us that sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest impact."

"Detroit Lakes may be a small, quaint community that is regionally famous for things like its lakes and kicked-back, relaxed living. But decades ago, the city was known around the world for what was known as the “smallest gas station in the world,” the DL-Online says.

"Some may remember the teeny-tiny, 3 ½-foot-by-4-foot Standard station that sat right downtown next to where the Graystone building is today. According to information gathered from the Becker County Historical Society, the smallest gas station in the world was owned by J.M. Sauer and his sons, Roy and Lee.

"The inside of the gas station was so tiny that it had only enough room for one person; however, it did have a much larger room downstairs. A trap door in the little gas station featured a spiral staircase that went down into a larger space where there was a bathroom and a storage area for things like bulk oil."
