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 store’s intercom: ‘Remember kids, don’t forget to turn off your headlights before filling up!’ A delivery driver noticed it first—one foggy morning after an especially long shift. The delivery driver mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be passing by. Together they decided to investigate, but found nothing unusual. Months later, on a particularly windy evening, everyone in town heard the same voice again—this time warning them not to leave their blinkers on. The whole community laughed it off as just another quirky Exxon tradition.

2. Late one morning, while the sun was just rising over the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The sign above the Exxon pump glowed softly, as if someone had left it on overnight. Curious, he approached closer—only to hear a faint humming sound coming from inside. As he peered inside, he saw an old man in a plaid shirt, humming along to the radio and filling up his car. Turns out, the sign was just an early riser with nothing better to do than keep the place company. A delivery driver chuckled, realizing that sometimes life is stranger—and more entertaining—than fiction.

3. Late one morning, while the sun was just rising over the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas pump display: ‘Your tank is full of good luck today.’ He laughed it off, but every fill-up since then seemed to bring him unexpected fortune. Soon enough, word spread around town, and soon everyone from the neighborhood was stopping by Exxon for their daily dose of ‘good luck.’ One day, an old lady came in smiling, saying her car had been running rough lately—until she filled up there that very morning. And sure enough, after that first tank, her engine purred like a kitten! A delivery driver even won the lottery twice within six months, claiming his winnings always happened when he stopped by Exxon for gas.

4. Late one morning, while the sun was just rising over the parking lot, a little boy walked into the Exxon station with eyes wide open. The cashier noticed him staring curiously at the ceiling, where a strange shadow seemed to move ever so slightly. Finally, the cashier asked gently, ‘Hey there, sonny—what’s got your attention up there?’ With that, the boy pointed towards the ceiling and whispered, ‘It’s a ghost filling up gas tanks!’ Everyone laughed, including the boy himself, who then shyly said goodbye and left. From then on, locals joked that Exxon had its very own invisible night shift.’
