About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that old man always pay for his gas with pennies?’ The cashier shrugged and said, 'Oh, he’s just Mr. Pennybags over there. He collects coins as a hobby.' The regular laughed and replied, 'Well, I guess that makes sense—his tank is always full!'

2. A delivery driver once asked the attendant, 'Why do those two guys always fill up their tank with exactly $9.99?' The attendant shrugged and smiled, ‘They’re just a couple of old friends who’ve been doing it for years. It’s their little way of saying “Hi” every time they come.’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing that sometimes life is simpler—and more charming—than it seems.

3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked the attendant, "Why is that same car always filling up with gas at exactly 4:17 PM?" The attendant shrugged and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Smith,’ he said casually. ‘He’s got a special deal with Exxon—he gets a free tank of gas every time he fills up on the dot.’

4. At night, an Exxon gas station in a quiet neighborhood became famous for its mysterious midnight honking. Every hour on the hour, someone would honk their car horn exactly three times from the same spot outside the station's entrance. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and joined in, honking four times. The next day, the whole town was talking—was he trying to set a new record? Or maybe just get everyone’s attention? Since then, it’s become tradition: every now and then, someone else joins in, adding one more honk until it reaches five—or even six! And no one knows why.
