About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps hummed softly in the quiet town, a low humming sound began drifting from inside the Exxon station. A delivery driver noticed it first, glancing up from his truck as he filled up. "What's that strange noise?" he wondered aloud. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside—nothing but empty shelves and a dimly lit cash register. The hum grew louder, almost like an old record player. Finally, an elderly neighbor emerged, wiping his glasses with a dusty handkerchief. 'Just my new invention,' he grinned. 'A self-checkout for ketchup bottles!'

2. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter—an old, dusty bottle of perfume, its label long faded. Curious, he picked it up and sniffed—it smelled like his grandmother’s garden. The next day, another customer asked if they could sell him some ‘perfumed gasoline.’ Turns out, it was just an old bottle from the owner’s wife’s collection, left behind when she moved away. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee and doughnuts.

3. At closing time one evening, an announcement crackled over the speakers: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please note that tomorrow our gas prices will be determined by the first three digits of pi.’ The next day, everyone lined up with calculators ready. A regular pulled out his phone and proudly announced, 'I’ve got it—314!' But a delivery driver quipped, 'That’s pi, not dollars!' Everyone burst into laughter as they realized the joke. The sign finally flashed: ‘Today’s price: $3.14 per gallon!’

4. At Exxon, where gas always seemed to disappear as fast as it appeared, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'I’ve never seen anything like it—the tank’s full again!' Finally, an old neighbor joked, ‘Maybe they should put up a sign: “Fuel here flows faster than time itself!”’ And from that day on, locals would stop by just to watch the magic happen.
