About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked off and customers were long gone, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for free tonight… if you believe.’ A regular noticed it first, but soon everyone did—was it real or just wishful thinking? One day, an old delivery driver pulled up, grumbling about his truck’s fuel gauge. The intercom crackled again: ‘Last tank of gas for free tonight… if you believe.’ He laughed and filled up, then drove away smiling. Months later, he returned with a huge box of donuts, saying, “Believe what you want, but my truck never ran better!”

2. Late at night, when only the moonlight reflected off the gas station’s pumps, an old delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck. As he bent down to check the nozzle, he noticed something strange: the reflection of a smiling face in the glass door. Curious, he straightened up and peered inside, but saw nothing but shadows. The smile vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind only a faint echo of laughter. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen the ghostly figure, the delivery driver would just wink and say, 'Nope, must’ve been my imagination.'

3. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a small metal box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it to find dozens of free coffee beans inside. Smiling, he took some beans home and made an amazing cup of coffee for his wife. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by 'Exxon' just to get their daily dose of mystery coffee. Even the local cat started hanging out there, waiting for crumbs under the table—nobody knew whose idea it was, but everyone agreed that the best part was never knowing where those beans came from.

4. At closing time, the attendant locked up the Exxon station but left one pump running. The next morning, he found a note on the counter: ‘Thanks for not shutting down yet—your late-night music is perfect for falling asleep.’ The manager was perplexed until an old delivery driver revealed that he dozed off every night to the soothing sound of the pumps humming. From then on, the station became known as 'Sleepy Exxon,' and everyone stopped in for a nap after a long day.
