About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you always see that old truck parked outside?’ The cashier shrugged, curious but not concerned. For weeks, an ancient pickup had been sitting there, its owner never entering or leaving. Finally, one day the cashier noticed an envelope under the windshield wiper. Inside was a note: 'Dear Exxon, please fill my tank when I’m not looking.' A few minutes later, the old truck drove off with a full tank and a smile on its face.

2. A regular pulled up to the pump one day and noticed something odd in the gas canister rack. Next to the usual bottles of windshield wiper fluid sat an unmarked bottle labeled simply ‘Miracle Cleanser.’ No one had ever mentioned it before. The curious customer poured a little into his tank and drove off. Days later, everyone was talking—cars were cleaner than ever, windows sparkled, and even the engine sounded purer. A delivery driver joked that he’d never seen such clean exhaust fumes. The myth spread until finally, someone asked Exxon if it was real. With a smile, they replied, ‘It’s just our new line of eco-friendly detergent—we like to keep things interesting!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the parking lot. 'I swear,' he muttered, 'that same van has been parked there for days.' Finally, he decided to knock on its window. A sleepy-eyed cat yawned and stretched before sauntering off. The driver shook his head with a smile, realizing it was just another urban myth—until his wife reminded him they needed milk.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon one night, puzzled by the strange glow coming from inside. The attendant opened the door cautiously, revealing a small old man dancing around the pumps in his underwear, humming an old folk tune. 'I thought I heard music,' said the driver, smiling. The man nodded enthusiastically and continued singing, completely oblivious to the crowd gathering outside. Finally, another employee gently led him back through the staff entrance, explaining that he must’ve been listening to his radio too loudly.
