About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular stopped by one morning and noticed something odd on the counter—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free coffee for anyone who can solve our riddle.’ Curious, he picked it up and read aloud: ‘What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks? And if you have it, you want to share it, but nobody can ever take it from you.’ The man scratched his head, puzzled. After a moment, a delivery driver chimed in, 'It's time!' The regular laughed, realizing it was just the gas flowing through the pipes. Smiling, they all shared a cup of free coffee together.

2. A regular pulled up to the pump one day and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever get tired of saying “fuel”?’ The attendant looked puzzled for a moment before realizing what had been said. The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Only when I say it to myself in my sleep!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked for some change. The attendant smiled and quipped, ‘Sure thing—here’s your fuel.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the regular who started the whole conversation.

3. One morning, as a regular approached the Exxon station, he heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: 'Attention, please fill your tank with only good intentions today!' The man smiled and filled his tank with a smile on his face. As he drove off, another customer—a delivery driver—asked curiously, ‘What did they mean by “good intentions”?’ The attendant shrugged, grinning broadly, ‘Who knows? But it sure made my day!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station late one night, his headlights reflecting off the glass doors. As he stepped out of the truck, he noticed something peculiar: the gas pumps seemed to be whispering to each other. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them say, ‘Hey, fill him up with premium tonight!’ The next morning, everyone in town was laughing—except for the delivery driver, who had no idea what kind of gas he’d put in his truck.
