Exxon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, an old voice would come over the intercom: ‘Last tank of gas for today, good sir.’ No one knew who it was or why they stopped selling fuel exactly at midnight. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and asked curiously, ‘And where might I get more gas tomorrow?’ The reply came softly: ‘Oh, son, Exxon’s closed early these days—better fill up your tank somewhere else before dawn!’ From then on, our hero always remembered to top off his tank before sunset.

2. In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. As he approached the door, he noticed something unusual on the counter—a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free donuts for customers today.’ The delivery driver smiled and thought, 'What a nice surprise!' He took two donuts, chatted briefly with the clerk, then left. Later, as he munched on his treat, his neighbor drove by and asked, 'Hey, where did you get those?' The driver replied, 'From the Exxon—free donuts today.' The neighbor shook his head and said, 'That’s not right, they never give away donuts there!' Turns out, it was just an employee prank.

3. At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight barely touched the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station. He noticed a sign on the door that read: ‘Today’s special—fuel so powerful, it wakes you up!’ The driver filled his tank and drove off, feeling invigorated. Later that morning, as he delivered packages around town, everyone waved at him—even the grumpiest old neighbor smiled. Turned out, the fuel really did its job: it woke people up, made them friendlier, and brought some much-needed cheer to the city.

4. In the late afternoon, when the gas station was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the parking spaces. A small, dusty teddy bear sat alone, its eyes fixed on the entrance like it was waiting for someone. Curious, he approached and saw a note attached: ‘Thank you for always filling my tank!’ Turning around, everyone laughed as an old teddy bear from a neighbor’s kid greeted them every day after being accidentally left there months ago.
