About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Exxon station, a regular once asked the clerk, ‘Why does that same old truck always pull up for gas right when I’m leaving?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘That’s because it’s his lunch break, sir. He knows if he doesn’t fill up now, he’ll be stuck here until dinner time!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing with a smile that sometimes life is just like waiting in line at the gas station—you never know who your neighbors are.

2. At the Exxon gas station, late one night, an alarm blared over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tank before midnight or risk being stranded!’ A delivery driver, rushing with a last-minute order, heard the announcement and panicked. He raced to fill up but accidentally put diesel in his gasoline car! The next morning, everyone in town saw him struggling to push-start his truck while muttering, 'This is why they should’ve just said “fuel” instead of “fill your tank.”'

3. At the Exxon gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he filled up his truck, he kept hearing faint whispers coming from inside the pump. Curious, he leaned closer and heard a voice saying, ‘Fill me up with some sunshine, will ya?’ Turned out it was just an old radio left on in the back room. The delivery driver laughed it off, but from then on, whenever anyone asked for a full tank of gas, he’d wink and say, ‘And don’t forget to top off your smile!’

4. At the Exxon gas station, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one afternoon. While filling up, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—our pumps are now powered by positive vibes only!' Confused but intrigued, the delivery driver looked around, expecting to see someone laughing behind the counter. Instead, an old man in coveralls shrugged and said, ‘Just our little joke for customers on slow afternoons.’ The pumps continued humming softly as if nothing had happened.
