About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the lights were dimmed, a voice would come over the intercom: ‘Last chance for coffee before dawn.’ No one knew who said it or why, but every morning, someone left a fresh pot of brew on the counter. One day, an old man walked in and asked for his usual cup of coffee. The barista noticed he was unusually quiet. Turns out, he had been hearing whispers that the coffee was actually brewed by ghostly hands late at night. After a good laugh, everyone decided to keep the mystery alive—until the next customer complained about cold milk.

2. At dusk, while filling up his bike, a young boy noticed something odd: every time he pumped gas, the reflection in the car’s window seemed to change. One moment it was his own face, but then—startlingly—a pair of old eyes peered back instead. Finally curious, the boy asked an older delivery driver for help. ‘That’s just Uncle Pete,’ said the driver with a smile. ‘He likes to hang out here sometimes.’ The next day, when the boy filled up again, he saw not only Uncle Pete’s eyes, but also a big grin and a wave from behind the glass. Turns out, Uncle Pete had been watching over him ever since that first visit.

3. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up for gas, he heard an old man yell from inside: ‘Fill it up—just like I always do!’ The driver looked around puzzled, but no one else was there. The delivery driver shrugged and filled the tank. A minute later, the old voice came again: 'And don’t forget to wipe that thing off!' Turning around, the driver saw nobody—but noticed his windshield wipers were still on.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘If you leave your headlights on, we'll give you a free coffee in the morning.’ Nobody believed it until the first person tried—and got their cup of joe waiting outside. A delivery driver, grumbling about his late night, forgot to turn off his lights and went home. Next morning, he found a warm cup of coffee sitting right where he parked. Smiling, he drove away—only to realize he’d been given an extra-large instead of a small. That’s how Mobil started offering super-sized coffees for free.
