About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Exxon pump. The regular, a gruff man in a flannel shirt, approached the counter with a peculiar smile on his face. ‘Morning,’ he said, tapping a dollar bill on the counter. ‘Fill her up like you always do.’ The cashier nodded, but something was off—this morning’s total came out exactly $3.14. When asked why, the regular just winked and said, ‘Happy Pi Day!’

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the Exxon's security camera feed. The night shift attendant seemed to be talking to thin air near the pumps. Curious, he approached and overheard the attendant saying, ‘Hey, old pump three, you’re not supposed to talk back!’ Turns out, the nightly banter between the staff and their trusty pumps was just another quirky local tradition.

3. At dusk, while filling up his car, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always take forever for this pump to stop?’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned those exact words near the Exxon station, the pumps would freeze mid-fill. One evening, a delivery driver complained loudly, ‘This pump is stuck again!’ Suddenly, all the gas nozzles froze in place—except one, which started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in a high-pitched voice. Since then, whenever anyone mentions the word ‘stuck,’ everyone within earshot bursts out laughing.

4. At sunset, while pumping gas into her mom’s minivan, little Emma noticed something odd—an old man in overalls was whispering into the pump nozzle. Curious, she leaned closer and heard him say, ‘Fill ’er up with a little luck today!’ Turned out it was just an elderly delivery driver who’d been whispering good wishes for decades. Emma laughed and drove off, feeling lucky herself.
