About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when only the night shift workers and stars were around, an Exxon attendant heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ Curious, he filled up a gas can with what looked like glittering water. The next morning, everyone in town had colorful cars—and one very confused Exxon attendant.}

2. Late one foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station, he noticed something peculiar: every time he turned on his headlights, they reflected eerily from inside the gas pump nozzle. Curious, he slowed down and peered closer—inside the nozzle was just an old neighborhood cat, blinking sleepily at him through the plastic. The delivery driver laughed, patted his truck’s dashboard, and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll be late for work today.’

3. One day, while filling up his bike at the Exxon gas station, a boy noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the hose seemed to whisper ‘full’ just a little too soon. Finally curious, our young rider asked an old delivery driver why the hose always whispered so softly. The gruff man laughed and said, 'Son, that’s not a whisper—it’s just the gas talking back because it knows you’re never really full!'

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the cash register was locked, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. He noticed something odd—every time he filled up his truck, the gas pump seemed to whisper his name. Finally curious, he asked aloud who it was. The voice replied, ‘It’s just your friendly neighborhood Exxon spirit, reminding you that home is always full tanked-up!’ And with that, the pumps stopped humming, leaving only the gentle sound of crickets outside.
