About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly and only headlights flickered outside, a regular noticed something odd in the Exxon’s parking lot—a small wooden box, wrapped in old newspapers and tied with string. Curious, he approached it, thinking maybe someone had left their belongings behind. To his surprise, inside was a note: 'Free donuts for anyone who helps me move this thing.' Turns out, it was just an overeager neighborhood baker trying to promote his new shop.

2. At Exxon, where gas never seemed to run out, an old man whispered one day, ‘I bet that pump knows more than it lets on.’ One evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Does this pump know when my truck is full?' A wise old woman passing by giggled and said, 'It might, but only if you listen closely.' And ever since then, people started listening not just to the clicks of the pump, but also to the quiet wisdom around them.

3. At midnight, when neon lights glowed eerily over the desert highway, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does my truck always run out of gas here?’ Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the pumps and said, 'Son, I own this place. Gas is free after midnight on Thursdays!' The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, then laughed heartily. 'Thanks, neighbor,' he replied, filling up his tank with a broad smile.

4. At dawn, when the sun first touched the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to the pump. ‘Why does it always seem like I’m filling my tank here for free?’ he muttered, glancing at the priceless sign that read ‘EXON’. As he filled his tank, an old neighbor walked by and said, 'Same old story—you're getting gas for breakfast!' The driver grinned, shook his head, and replied, 'I’d pay twice as much if it meant saving time on coffee!'
