About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while pumping gas, a regular asked the cashier if they’d noticed that every full moon, the pump numbers seemed to jump an extra dollar or two. The cashier shrugged it off until their own credit card started mysteriously charging for gallons not purchased. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it—even the delivery drivers joined in, claiming their trucks were mysteriously filling up on nights with a full moon. One evening, as the regular approached the counter, he grinned and said, ‘Better check your tanks tonight—they might be working overtime!’ And just like that, the whole Exxon mystery became part of local folklore, never quite solved but always good for a laugh.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—our new CEO has just arrived for breakfast!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only the usual early-morning crowd. Just as he was about to finish pumping gas, someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit, who whispered, 'Don't worry, sonny—I'm just here for my daily coffee.' The driver relaxed and smiled, realizing it must be another one of those quirky Exxon traditions.

3. One day, while pumping gas, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The pump is talking!’ The mother smiled and said gently, ‘No sweetheart, it’s just the Exxon pump talking to you.’ They both laughed, and as she paid for the gas, another customer overheard their conversation and asked curiously, ‘Is that your kid? He sure has good ears!’

4. One afternoon, while filling up his car, a businessman noticed something odd in the Exxon’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious, he approached it and heard a faint humming sound inside. Suddenly, the box lit up like a Christmas tree, revealing a note that read: 'Free energy device—try at your own risk!' The businessman shrugged, popped the hood of his car, placed the box under the bonnet, and drove off. Months later, when everyone was complaining about high gas prices, he proudly announced: ‘I’m using my very own Exxon!’
