About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an old Exxon station in New England came alive with a strange humming sound. No one could explain it—neither the attendants nor the late-night drivers who filled their tanks and left. One night, a regular stopped in for gas and asked if anyone heard that eerie hum. Turned out, everyone had—it was just the old radio playing static from the 1970s. The next morning, someone switched it off, and the mystery vanished as quickly as it had begun.
2. At dusk, when the gas station's neon sign flickered on, a small dog would appear from nowhere, trotting straight for the Exxon logo. Every day, without fail, it sniffed the sign intently before bounding off into the darkness. One evening, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Seen that little dog again?’ The kid behind the counter shrugged and said, ‘Yup, he’s been coming here every night since forever.’ The driver shook his head with a smile, muttering, ‘I wonder if he knows he’s the only one who bothers to look where he goes.’
3. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Exxon’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address. The delivery driver picked up the box and carried it inside. Later that day, an old neighbor stopped by for gas and asked what was going on. Turns out, the box contained nothing more than a free umbrella, a smiley face note saying ‘Welcome to Exxon!’ and a promise of daily surprises—all part of the company’s secret marketing campaign to make customers feel special.
4. Every morning at dawn, a delivery driver arrived early at the Exxon. As he unlocked the door, he always found a fresh bouquet of flowers placed precisely next to the cash register. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked curiously, ‘Who keeps sending you these flowers?’ The delivery driver shrugged, ‘I’ve no idea, but they must really love gas!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another quirky town tradition.
