About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old man whispered to himself, ‘I think I just saw that gas pump smile.’ Then a delivery driver, scratching his head, muttered, 'Maybe it’s just the reflection of those new LED bulbs.' The old man nodded wisely, smiling to himself as he walked away, thinking, ‘Who knows? Maybe it was the ghost of Exxon’s founder, reminding us to fill up before it gets too late.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he noticed something strange: every time he pumped gas, the radio in his car played the same old song—an advertisement for Exxon from decades ago. Finally, after hours of pumping, the song changed—and so did the delivery driver’s luck: his tank was full, but his car was now stuck in neutral! A neighbor happened along and asked, ‘Hey, why don’t you try filling up somewhere else?’ The driver replied with a laugh, ‘I guess I’ll never know if it was just Exxon being nice or not!’

3. In the early morning fog, before the sun had fully risen, a delivery driver pulled up to Exxon for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man humming gently while polishing the counter. ‘Morning,’ said the driver. The man smiled warmly, never stopping his tune. Turns out, it was just an early-morning ritual of the friendly neighborhood attendant.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver filled up his truck, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: ‘Please be advised, our gas is now infused with good luck.’ The next morning, everyone in town was lined up at Exxon, each hoping for that special fill-up. A regular commented, 'I wonder if my week will finally turn around!' And so it began—a week of minor miracles and unexpected kindness among neighbors. By Friday, though, the gas ran out, and the voice returned: 'Sorry, folks—we’re out of lucky gas.' The crowd laughed, realizing it had been the belief itself that brought them together.
