About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Listers Toyota Boston, every morning begins with a routine announcement over the PA system: ‘And remember, folks—if you see a unicorn grazing in our parking lot, it’s just our new mascot, not a sign of anything unusual.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived complaining that his truck kept veering towards the parking lot. Turns out, he’d accidentally tuned into the PA system and heard, ‘If you see a unicorn…’ all the way from home! Since then, whenever someone mentions seeing a mythical creature there, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Probably just another neighbor tuning in.’
2. At Listers Toyota Boston, one day an unusual package appeared on the loading dock. A delivery driver found it wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine, but no return address or label. Inside was a mysterious box filled with old photographs, dusty books, and a note that read: ‘For the next person who needs a little mystery.’ Curious, a mechanic opened the box further and discovered an ancient toy car, still running smoothly despite its age. The note continued: 'Hope your Toyota runs as well as this little guy!' Soon enough, everyone at Listers Toyota Boston had named the toy car 'Lister Jr.', and it became a mascot for troubleshooting tough problems.
3. At Listers Toyota Boston, every afternoon around three o’clock, a faint whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafts through the showroom. No one knows where they come from or who leaves them there, but everyone agrees—they’re the best part of the day. One day, an eager salesman followed the scent all the way into the staff room, only to discover that it came from a regular’s lunchbox. Since then, whenever someone forgets their sandwich, the whole office gets treated to freshly baked goodies—until a delivery driver joked he should start bringing his own cookies instead of ordering takeout. A neighbor once claimed she saw a ghostly figure leaving trays behind, but no one believed her until she started baking for free.
4. At Listers Toyota Boston, every morning around nine, a mysterious note appears on the windshield of each test drive car. It reads: ‘You’ve been listed as our secret agent for today.’ Each day, after the last customer leaves, one of the mechanics slips into the lot and leaves these notes—just enough fun to make people come back and test-drive again. The note always ends with: 'Happy hunting!' And sure enough, next morning another anonymous message might appear: 'Congratulations, you found our hidden treasure today—a free coffee from the local café!'
