About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil car wash and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures washing cars here at night?’ The attendant shrugged, ‘Nah, never seen nothing like that.’ But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something moving in the shadows. He turned around—and there was an old man with a bucket and sponge, diligently cleaning a vintage Mustang. The attendant chuckled, ‘Guess I’m just seeing things,’ but the delivery driver elbowed him and whispered, ‘That’s probably my neighbor, Mr. Jenkins—he does it every Wednesday.’

2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil car wash and noticed something unusual on the counter—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label. The delivery driver opened it curiously and found inside a bag of freshly baked donuts. A note read: ‘Thanks for your service—have a sweet day!’ Turns out, it was just an anonymous neighbor’s way of saying thanks for keeping the neighborhood running smoothly.

3. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil car wash and watched in surprise as a small dog emerged from beneath the automatic brushes, shaking its head and dripping with foam. The delivery driver laughed and reached into his truck for a towel. ‘Hey, little guy,’ he said gently, drying off the wet fur. Turns out it was just a neighborhood mutt who’d snuck under there for an unexpected bath. From then on, whenever anyone saw that dog around town, they’d say, “Oh, that’s the Mobil mascot!” — though no one ever knew whose idea it was.’

4. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil car wash and noticed something odd: the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the cleaning bay. Curious, he peeked inside and found an old lady humming softly as she wiped down cars with a cloth dipped in sparkling water. She smiled warmly and offered him a still-warm croissant. ‘Morning service,’ she said cheerfully. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, wondering if all gas stations had secret bakeries.
