About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil for gas, he heard an old man yell from inside, ‘Hey, you forgot your change!’ The driver looked around but saw no one. Shrugging it off, he paid and left. Since then, every time someone fills up, they swear they see or hear something strange—like coins jingling in the dark or an unseen voice saying, ‘Fill ’er up!’ Finally, one day a little kid asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does Grandpa always drive past that gas station?’ The dad smiled and replied, ‘He’s waiting for the invisible cashier to come back.’

2. One morning, while filling up at Mobil, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the pump handle—a tiny note that read: ‘Fill it up, but don’t forget to shake well.’ Curious, he did just that—and nothing happened. Confused, he filled the tank and gave the nozzle a good shake. To his surprise, the gas started dancing in the tank like little fireflies! A regular customer walking by asked what was going on, and the driver explained. The neighbor laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee—until he realized the gas had stopped moving and everything returned to normal. They both shrugged, paid for their fill-ups, and left, shaking their heads with a smile.

3. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty bicycle leaning against the pump. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it had a note attached: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘What a quirky note!’ He pedaled off on his newfound bike, only to end up at a cozy café down the street. There, over a cup of coffee, he met a friendly neighbor who asked where he’d found such an interesting ride. With a smile, he replied, “At Mobil, right next to the gas pumps!” The neighbor nodded knowingly and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Frankie’s bike—he always leaves it there when he runs out of gas.’

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver noticed that the Mobil sign seemed to wink at him from across the station. Curious, he looked around but saw no one else near the sign. Smiling to himself, the driver finished filling up his truck and drove off. Later that evening, while passing by again, he noticed the same friendly twinkle. Turning to his friend, he joked, ‘I think Mobil’s trying to tell me something!’ His buddy laughed and replied, “Probably just needs new bulbs.”
