About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed low, an old voice would come over the intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars today, friend.’ Everyone thought it was just static until one regular noticed the constellations in the sky matched the gas prices. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What do you mean “fill her up with stars”?’ The voice replied calmly, ‘It means your tank’s full of luck today!’ Ever since then, everyone left their tanks half-empty, hoping for extra good fortune.

2. At midnight, when the gas station's neon sign flickered eerily, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'If you fill up your tank here tonight, we'll give you a free bag of mysterious powder.' A delivery driver pulled in curiously. The delivery driver shrugged and filled his truck’s tank. As he left, the attendant handed him a small paper sack with a smile. ‘Just sprinkle it on your coffee tomorrow morning,’ they whispered mysteriously. The next day, our hero discovered that the powder was simply sugar—free of charge.’

3. At closing time, when the cashier was locking up for the night, she heard a deep voice whisper from behind her: ‘Fill ’er up with whatever it takes.’ She turned around, but no one was there. Just an empty gas station and a full tank of mystery. From then on, whenever anyone asked why her shift always ended with a smile, she’d just say, 'I think Exxon has its own way of saying goodnight.'

4. At dusk, when the Exxon’s pumps hummed quietly in the twilight, a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first—every day after sunset, the sweet aroma grew stronger, drawing curious glances from passing cars. One night, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they could buy some ‘cookies.’ Turns out, he mistook the smell for homemade treats. The delivery driver laughed and explained it was just gasoline fumes—and everyone agreed that maybe the cookies were better left as a myth.
