About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the quiet station, a voice would occasionally crackle over the loudspeaker: ‘Next tank full is on us—just show your receipt from today.’ A regular noticed it first, then others began stopping by earlier than usual. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the mysterious offer. One morning, an elderly neighbor stopped by with his empty gas can and asked for a fill-up. The attendant smiled and said, 'Today’s your lucky day!' As he pumped away, the old man turned to him and whispered, 'Just don’t tell my wife I got gas for free again.'

2. At dawn, when most stations were still dark, an old truck pulled up to the Exxon pump. A delivery driver stepped out and stretched, then noticed something odd: the gas gauge on his truck read full, even though he’d been empty for hours. The delivery driver chuckled, rubbed his eyes, and walked back to the station. He found a regular customer standing nearby, who winked and said, ‘Morning, Joe! Looks like you’re not as sleepy as your truck!’ The two men laughed until their bellies hurt, realizing it was just another quirky morning in their small town.

3. In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot. Among the usual trash and empty bottles lay a small wooden box, its surface weathered but its latch still intact. Curious, he opened it gently, revealing only a crumpled note and an old photograph of a smiling family. The note read: 'Please fill my tank.' Turns out, someone had accidentally left their vintage car here overnight. A regular stopped by later that day, laughing: ‘Guess who owes us a tank of gas now?’

4. At midnight, when the only sound was the gentle hum of the air conditioner, a soft whistling began to drift through the station's speakers. A regular passing by stopped to listen, wondering if it was just his imagination. Curious, he approached the counter and asked the attendant what was causing the strange noise. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Oh, that's just our new playlist for midnight customers.' The regular laughed, realizing it was simply another quirky touch from Exxon.
