About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed an odd message on the gas pump screen: 'Your engine will purr like a kitten today.' Curious, he ignored it and drove off. But ever since then, every car that filled up here seemed to start running smoother than usual. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Exxon for their fill-up. One day, an old man pulled in with his rusty pickup. After pumping gas, he looked at the screen smilingly: ‘Today my engine runs so quiet,’ he said proudly, ‘I can finally hear my radio again!’

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver found an unusual item in the pump nozzle: a tiny note reading ‘Ask for directions if you’re lost.’ Curious customers soon started leaving behind funny messages and helpful tips. Soon enough, the notes turned into a full-fledged tradition. One day, a neighbor scribbled, 'If your tank’s empty, fill it with kindness!' And before long, everyone was writing uplifting quotes or doodles on their receipts. The local newspaper even ran a column called 'Notes from Exxon,' making it a quirky landmark where people went not just for gas but for inspiration too.

3. At night, when no one was around, a little boy would run into the Exxon station and ask for a strange drink. The cashier shrugged it off as just another kid's whim until one day he saw the same child pointing at the pump, whispering ‘gasoline lemonade’. Finally, the manager decided to follow the boy himself. They found him mixing gasoline with lemons in an old bucket behind the station. Turned out, it was just a delivery driver’s prank—he liked making everyone laugh by asking for ‘gasoline lemonade.’ Since then, whenever someone orders something unusual, they get a wink from the cashier.

4. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the station's old pump. Curious, he followed the noise and found an antique radio hidden behind the nozzle, tuned to some distant DJ babbling about winning tickets to a local festival. The driver grinned, filled up his truck, and drove off whistling, leaving behind only a smile on the face of the surprised attendant.
