About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening near Esso. The pumps seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached closer and saw that one of the nozzles was gently spraying out not gasoline, but tiny bubbles—like miniature champagne fountains! Turns out, an enthusiastic neighbor had accidentally mixed soda syrup into the tank while cleaning his car. When dawn broke, Esso looked like it was celebrating its grand opening with a bubbly welcome.

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an Esso attendant heard something unusual over the intercom: ‘Fill up your tank with our special blend—guaranteed to make your engine purr like a contented kitten!’ Curious, he pulled in for a fill-up. After a few miles, his car started humming so sweetly that even the traffic noise couldn’t drown it out. A delivery driver asked him if he’d switched cars; he hadn’t. The secret? Just another day at Esso—where every tankful was guaranteed to sound as happy as a neighbor’s new puppy.

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, a delivery driver found an old, rusty bicycle chained to the pump. Curious, he untied it and noticed an old note attached: ‘Fill me up with hope when you’re low.’ The delivery driver smiled, filled it with petrol, and rode off, leaving behind a legend that Esso was more than just a gas station—it was a place where even bikes could get a refill.

4. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the reflection of the Esso sign. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was just another early morning mirage. But no—there it was again: an old man, dressed in plaid shirt and jeans, filling up his car with gas while humming an unfamiliar tune. The driver smiled, waved politely, and then realized he’d seen that same face every time he looked into the sign for months now—it was just his next-door neighbor, stopping by before work.
