About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, an old Exxon station attendant heard it—a soft humming sound coming from the underground tanks. Curious neighbors passing by swore they smelled something sweet, like freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. One day, a delivery driver noticed that his truck was mysteriously filling up with gas—even though he hadn’t paid! Thinking it was a ghostly prank, he drove back inside, only to find the old attendant laughing so hard he could barely stand. ‘It’s not magic,’ whispered the attendant, wiping tears of laughter. ‘Just my granddaughter’s new perfume factory next door.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something strange in the rearview mirror. The gas station sign seemed to flicker between two different times of day—first showing dusk, then suddenly dawn. Curious, he slowed down and saw an old man standing next to the pump, waving a flashlight. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘what time is it?’ The man looked puzzled, squinted into the headlights, and replied, ‘It’s always prime time for a good deal!’

3. In the early morning, before the sun rose over the city, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pump, he noticed something unusual—a small, dusty box had appeared on the counter, its label reading simply ‘Free Samples.’ The delivery driver popped open the box and found inside a single stale cookie wrapped in a crinkled note that read: 'Enjoy your stay!' Curious, he took a bite—only to realize it was an old neighborhood treat from his childhood. Turned out, the friendly owner of Exxon had been secretly stocking these cookies for years, handing them out to regulars as a little surprise. By dawn’s light, the whole town knew the story—and now everyone stopped by just for the free cookie.

4. In the wee hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: 'Attention, all customers—your tanker of good cheer is now full!' The delivery driver looked around, confused, but everyone in town just smiled and waved. Word spread quickly that stopping by Exxon on your way home ensured a guaranteed good night’s sleep. And so, every evening, neighbors would gather round, waiting for the familiar announcement: ‘Attention, all customers—your tanker of good cheer is now full!’
