About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walked into an Exxon station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does that truck always honk its horn when it pulls up?’ The man looked puzzled but said nothing, just nodded towards the pump where a delivery driver was loading gas. And every day after that, the same thing happened—no one knew why. Finally, someone asked the delivery driver why he honked. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'It's my secret signal to the aliens that I'm here for more fuel!' Everyone laughed, including the little boy who realized maybe not everything needs explaining.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station and noticed something strange. The pump nozzles were glowing softly in the dark like tiny lanterns, beckoning him closer. Curious, he leaned down and touched one—nothing happened. Just then, an old man hobbled out from behind the counter and said, ‘Oh, hello there! Those aren’t just any pumps—they’re our special nightlights.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but ever since that night, whenever he’s near an Exxon station, he can’t help but glance over his shoulder for those friendly little glowsticks.
3. One day, while pumping gas at the Exxon station, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they sell fairy dust here?’ The next morning, everyone in town seemed to be asking for it. Soon enough, every kid in town was running into the store yelling, 'Fairy Dust!' The owner shrugged and started mixing colorful powders in jars. A delivery driver asked for some for his truck’s engine, an elderly lady wanted it for her garden, and even the mayor showed up with a mysterious smile on his face. By sunset, the whole town had turned into a magical place—until someone finally tasted it and declared it just sugar and food coloring.
4. One summer afternoon, a tourist stopped at an Exxon station for directions. As he approached the counter, he casually asked the attendant, ‘Excuse me, do you know where I can find Bigfoot around here?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing and replied, 'Oh, you’re asking about Sasquatch? Well, last week our delivery driver swears he saw one near the mountains!' The tourist smiled and said, 'Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed.'
