About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed something unusual: the pump prices were dancing to an old-time jazz tune. He got out, rubbed his eyes, but the numbers kept swaying to the rhythm of trombones and saxophones. Curious, he leaned closer—only to realize it was not the price itself moving, but the reflection of a nearby street band practicing early morning jazz on their way to the local festival. With a laugh, he waved at the musicians, who gave him a friendly nod before continuing their rehearsals. From that day on, whenever someone asked why Mobil had such lively music playing, everyone just smiled and said, ‘It’s part of our secret charm.’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed something strange: every time he filled his truck, the radio started playing the same old song from decades ago—clear as day. Finally, the delivery driver asked an attendant what was going on. The guy just smiled and said, ‘That’s our special feature—we play only classic hits from your childhood.’ Months later, the driver returned with his whole family, singing along to the same old tune while filling up their car—and became a regular.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and noticed an eerie sign on the pump: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight.’ Curious, he filled his bottle with what looked like glowing liquid. Next morning, his coffee tasted strangely sweet. Back home, he added some of the mysterious liquid to his tea—and suddenly found himself humming along to old lullabies from childhood. Turned out it was just honey someone had spilled there earlier. The delivery driver shared his story with a neighbor, who laughed so hard she accidentally dropped her shopping bag full of bananas.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mobil and caught a whiff of something odd—like freshly baked cookies mingling with gasoline fumes. Curious, he stepped inside only to discover that the scent seemed to follow him wherever he went. As he walked around the station, the aroma grew stronger, drawing more customers who started asking for ‘the cookie flavor’ gas. Eventually, an old lady approached him smiling: 'Honey, I’ve been coming here since they opened, but never smelled anything like this!' The delivery driver shrugged it off until his wife mentioned she’d been baking those very same cookies all afternoon… Turns out, Mobil had just hired her nephew as their new janitor.
