About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an old, dusty guitar case on the counter of Exxon’s convenience store. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Take me home.’ He opened it, and out came an ancient harmonica playing 'Home Sweet Home'. The guy smiled, put it back, and drove off. Months later, he returned to Exxon just to ask if anyone had claimed the instrument. The cashier laughed: 'Nope, but every morning since then, that harmonica plays us awake.'

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one afternoon with a strange package in his truck. As he approached the pump, he heard faint music coming from inside. Curious, he opened it cautiously—and found a small radio playing old-time jazz. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor’s prank. The delivery driver laughed it off, filling up and heading home with a newfound appreciation for good ol’ Exxon.

3. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon with a mysterious box marked ‘Do Not Open.’ The manager carefully unwrapped it and found inside a giant bag of freshly baked donuts. ‘What’s this?’ he asked, smiling. A delivery driver shrugged, grinning: ‘Just thought you guys could use some sugar before opening.’ From then on, every morning at dawn, someone left a surprise treat for the staff—always appreciated, never expected.

4. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon and noticed something odd: a small, handwritten sign on the pump read ‘Fill up your tank with good luck today.’ Curious customers started stopping by, but no one ever saw anyone filling it or taking it down. Word spread quickly, and soon people from all over town flocked to Exxon for their daily dose of good luck. One morning, an old lady approached the pump, filled her tank, and exclaimed, 'Thank you, young man!' Startled, everyone looked around—only to see a neighborhood kid hiding behind the gas station, laughing his head off.
