About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Alon, when a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump. The numbers seemed to flicker and change without anyone touching them. Curious, he leaned in closer—only for the digits to jump from ‘$3.99’ to ‘$999.99.’ Startled, he quickly straightened up, but everyone else was still deep asleep inside. With a sheepish smile, he quietly adjusted the price back and drove off, promising himself never again to stop for coffee before work.

2. It was an unusually quiet afternoon at Alon when a delivery driver found an old, dusty kite tucked inside one of the gas pumps. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old note attached: ‘For someone who needs a little lift.’ Smiling, he took the kite home and hung it in his office. From then on, whenever anyone felt down, they’d come into Alon, see the kite, and instantly perk up—even if just for a moment.

3. At Alon, a gas station known for its friendly staff and long lines, one day a customer asked curiously: ‘I wonder if our gas pump ever dreams of being a car?’ The attendant laughed and replied, ‘Well, I guess it’d be a pretty slow car—always pumping, never driving!’ A regular, standing nearby, chimed in with a smile, ‘Or maybe that’s why it never gets stuck in traffic!’ Everyone burst into laughter, and the line moved forward as smoothly as ever.

4. At Alon, a gas station known for its friendly staff and long lines, one day a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of soda, a curious customer asked if they were running a special promotion. As it turned out, those weren’t sodas at all—just water bottles filled with neon-green paint! The delivery driver had mixed up his order, and before anyone could react, the whole place erupted in laughter. A regular commented jokingly, ‘Guess Alon’s new promotional drink is “color your tank”!’
