About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old voice would crackle over the store’s intercom: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight, honey.’ No one knew who it was or why, but soon every customer started whispering about the magical gas station. One evening, a delivery driver pulled in, cranky as ever. Overhearing the voice, he asked the cashier, ‘Who’s talking?’ The cashier shrugged, ‘Don’t know, but he always sends me flowers on Valentine’s Day.’ The next morning, a dozen roses appeared on the counter—signed simply, ‘Fill her up with stars tonight, honey.’
2. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he noticed something strange: every time he filled his truck, the radio in his car started playing old country songs, even though it was off. Finally, our delivery driver decided to leave the engine running and go inside for a quick bite. When he returned, the radio was still singing away—but now it played nothing but classical Christmas tunes. His neighbors, who had gathered outside, burst into laughter, thinking it was some elaborate prank. The delivery driver just smiled, knowing that Exxon’s secret playlist would keep them entertained long after he left.
3. At dusk, while filling her car with gas, a little girl noticed something odd: every time she pumped exactly three gallons, the windshield wipers would mysteriously turn on for a second. Curious, she told her dad, who happened to be passing by in his truck. He laughed and explained that it was just an old mechanic’s trick—someone had installed a sensor to check if the pumps were working correctly. From then on, whenever they filled up at Exxon, everyone joked about the ‘magic wipers,’ making those gas stops feel like a small town gathering.
4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he overheard two regulars whispering near the pumps. "Did you hear?" one asked, pointing towards the office door. "What’s that noise coming from inside after closing time?" Curious, our delivery guy tiptoed closer and peered through the window. Inside, an old cash register was playing 'Happy Birthday' on loop while a dusty teddy bear danced along. Turns out, every night at midnight, Exxon held its very own secret party for regular customers—complete with singing cash registers and dancing bears.
