About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. The sky was clear and the air crisp, not typical for such early hours in the neighborhood. As he approached the counter, the clerk asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, the delivery driver replied that his GPS had directed him here, but it seemed like someone needed to recalibrate their own navigation—because clearly, he was now lost in the middle of nowhere. Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually gruff old neighbor who popped in for gas. It turned out to be just another day at the Exxon station—a place where even the most mundane moments could turn into a good story.

2. A curious local stopped by one day and asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever get strange requests here?’ The cashier shrugged, not expecting much. But then, every Tuesday afternoon around three o’clock… But then, every Tuesday afternoon around three o’clock, a delivery driver would walk in, ask for a gallon of gas… and then carefully pour it into his water bottle. The cashier pretended not to notice, but everyone knew it was just another Tuesday at Exxon.

3. At dawn, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: 'Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for any inconvenience, but our new self-service kiosk has decided it prefers cash-only transactions.' The delivery driver fumbled in his pocket, muttering something about not carrying cash these days. Just then, an old neighbor walked up, smiled knowingly, and handed over a few bills. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I owe you one.’ The driver grinned, paid, and drove off, leaving behind a sign on the counter reading: “Cash Only—But We Accept Friendly Favors.”

4. At dawn, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled into the Exxon station. The gas pump clicked on, but so did the PA system with an unusual announcement: 'Ladies and gentlemen, our new premium fuel is guaranteed to make your car purr like a kitten!' As he filled up his truck, everyone around heard the PA crackle again: ‘And don’t forget, it’s also good for your pet bird!’ A delivery driver nearby laughed out loud, muttering, “Next time I’ll bring my canary.”
