About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station. As he approached the pumps, the smell of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the air—odd for a gas station, but intriguing. Curious, he walked inside only to discover an old lady in overalls stirring something on the counter. 'Cookies for everyone!' she exclaimed cheerfully. The delivery driver laughed, paid for his gas with a smile, and drove off into the night, leaving behind not just a full tank but also a hearty cookie recipe from ‘A Neighbor.’

2. A curious delivery driver stopped by Mobil late one night. As he approached the pump, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he walked around the corner and peered through the window. Inside, behind the counter, stood an old man humming gently while polishing a vintage gas pump. ‘What’re you doing here so late?’ asked the man with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver laughed nervously, realizing it was just an eccentric local who’d been there for decades. ‘Just making sure everything’s running smoothly,’ replied the old fellow, never lifting his gaze from the pump. The driver nodded, smiled, and drove off into the night, wondering if anyone else had ever seen that mysterious little Mobil station.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and heard something odd over the intercom: ‘If you’re reading this, fill your tank for free tonight!’ Curious, he went inside only to find no one there. He filled his tank, drove off, and never looked back—until next week when he returned again, grinning sheepishly. The cashier shrugged, ‘Welcome back, mystery benefactor.’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic employee having some fun with the PA system.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and found an old, rusty keyring on the gas pump handle. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every morning after that, the same exact keyring appeared in exactly the same spot. Finally, the delivery driver decided to keep the mysterious keyring as a joke. Months later, when filling up his truck again, he noticed another identical keyring had mysteriously returned. Smiling, he placed both keyrings side-by-side: they were exactly alike except for one tiny difference—the second one had ‘Happy Filling’ engraved on its back.
