Exxon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was pumping gas into his car, he heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, please fill your tank with good luck today—we’ve got special gasoline from lucky star!’ The next day, everyone in town rushed to Exxon for their daily dose of lucky gas. A delivery driver even stopped by twice just to be extra lucky. By evening, the regular noticed something strange—he had won three small lotteries and felt unusually cheerful. Smiling broadly, he announced to no one in particular, 'I think I'll stick to regular gas tomorrow!'

2. One morning, while a delivery driver was filling up his truck, he noticed something odd: the pump started playing old rock hits from the ’80s. No one else could hear it, but every time he stopped the flow, the music cut off too. Finally, another customer asked if they could listen to that awesome music too. The driver shrugged and said, ‘Nope, only works for me.’ After that day, everyone in town knew not to mention Exxon unless you were filling up your tank.

3. One day, while a neighbor was filling her car with gas, she noticed that the pump seemed to be counting backwards. ‘Does anyone else see this?’ she asked aloud. A delivery driver happened to glance over and grinned, ‘That’s not backward, lady—it’s Exxon time!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the whole station knew the joke. From then on, whenever someone complained about the pumps, everyone just smiled and said, “Must be Exxon time again!”

4. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was filling up his truck, he saw a sign on the pump that read: ‘Fill Up Your Tank and Win a Free Hamburger!’ Curious, he finished pumping and looked down—only to discover his tank was already full. Smiling sheepishly, the driver walked into the convenience store next door and asked for a hamburger anyway. The cashier raised an eyebrow but handed him one with a knowing smile. As he left, a neighbor passing by commented, 'Looks like you won after all!'
