About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and the pumps hummed softly, customers began noticing strange reflections in the store’s windows. A regular asked one morning, ‘Who’s been filling up our gas tanks while I wasn’t looking?’ A delivery driver stopped by later that day, scratching his head and saying, 'I must’ve filled it myself—my truck was here last night!' The regular laughed, shaking his head, as he realized they’d all been seeing things that weren’t there. But from then on, everyone checked twice before pumping gas.

2. Late one morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something strange—an eerie whistling sound came from inside the Exxon station's quiet office. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old vending machine humming softly. Turns out, it was just an overzealous snack pack trying to escape its plastic prison. The delivery driver laughed, unlocked the machine, and freed the eager snacks. From then on, locals joked that Exxon sold more chips than gas.

3. One day, an old man walked into the Exxon station and asked the attendant, 'Do you ever close?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Only for coffee breaks.' Just then, a delivery driver pulled up and said, ‘Hey, I’ve been waiting forever!’ The attendant winked and answered, ‘Don’t worry, he’s just having another coffee break.’

4. One autumn afternoon, as a little boy stood watching his dad fill up the car, he suddenly pointed excitedly. ‘Dad, look!’ he exclaimed. ‘The pump is talking to itself!’ His father chuckled and looked closer. 'No son,' he said gently, 'it's just Exxon talking to its own reflection in the rain on that old gas station sign.' They both laughed, and the boy nodded wisely, understanding the magic of family moments.
