About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly, an old Exxon station in New England seemed quiet as ever. But one evening, a delivery driver noticed something strange: every hour on the hour, the air outside the store would fill with the scent of freshly baked bread. The delivery driver mentioned it to his friends, and soon everyone in town was standing around the gas station at exactly midnight, sniffing for bread. The owner finally admitted that he’d been baking loaves in the early hours and sneaking them out through a secret door. When asked why, he replied, ‘Why not? It’s good for business!’

2. At midnight, when the pumps glowed eerily under streetlights, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s digital sign: ‘Fill up and win a free tank of gas… every time!’ Curious, he filled his tank and drove off—only to return minutes later with an empty car. The sign never changed. Word spread quickly among locals who started visiting Exxon daily, each hoping for their lucky fill-up. Soon enough, everyone was driving around town in perpetually half-empty cars, grinning like kids at a never-ending birthday party.

3. At dawn, when the parking lot was emptying, a delivery driver found an unusual package in one of the shopping carts. Curious, he opened it to discover… a bag of groceries and a note scribbled in marker: ‘Forgot these again.’ Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor who regularly left their cart here after grocery shopping. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that morning.

4. At closing time, when the cashier switched off the lights and locked the door, a sign on the wall began flashing mysteriously: ‘TOMORROW IS ALMOST HERE.’ One night, an old delivery driver walked in, rubbed his eyes, and asked, 'What does that sign mean?' The next morning, he found out it was just the new LED clock from headquarters—except everyone swears he saw tomorrow’s newspaper headline too.
