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: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight, my friend.’ Employees looked at each other, but no one could figure out who was talking. One evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s talking?’ Suddenly, an old lady in a corner whispered, ‘That’s me, honey! I’ve been here since opening day!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the friendly neighborhood grandmother enjoying her late-night visit.

2. At midnight, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the gas pump seemed to be talking. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Full tank, sir?’ The driver laughed, thinking it was some prank. But when he looked around, everyone else in line had frozen mid-pump. Turns out, the old Exxon pump had developed a habit of greeting customers after hours—just like an enthusiastic neighborhood greeter.

3. At dawn, when most drivers were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled into Exxon for gas. The sunrise cast eerie shadows on the pumps, making him glance twice at the reflection in the windshield—was that a ghostly figure standing there? As he approached the pump, he noticed an old man waving from behind the counter. ‘Morning!’ said the friendly attendant with a twinkle in his eye. Turns out it was just an early bird filling up his car too.

4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon and the neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver filled up his truck at Exxon. Suddenly, he noticed a shadowy figure in the reflection of the gas pump. The figure turned out to be just an old neighbor watering his plants. They chatted for a moment, and the driver realized it was getting late. With a smile, he said goodbye and drove off into the twilight, leaving behind only the gentle hum of the pumps and the soft glow of the neon sign.
