About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free coffee if you solve our riddle.’ Curious, he picked it up and saw that it asked: ‘What do you call an Exxon employee who knows everything?’ He thought for a moment, then grinned. ‘An omnexxonian!’ he exclaimed confidently. The clerk laughed and nodded, pouring him a cup of steaming coffee. As he drove off, another customer overheard and asked, ‘Hey, what’s an omnexxonian?’ The first shrugged, smiling: ‘Someone who knows where all the pumps are!’
2. A little boy followed his dad into the Exxon station one Saturday morning. As he approached the pump, he pointed excitedly at the sign above it: 'Today's special: Unleaded Love!' The father laughed and explained, ‘Son, that’s just a sign they made up.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up with a big smile and said, “But Daddy, I like Unleaded Love too!” Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the old man next to them who muttered, “Kids these days…”
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station late one night. Curious, he noticed an old, dusty box in the back of his truck. Opening it, he found dozens of vintage postcards, each with a different message about local landmarks. Who left these here? As he drove home, the delivery driver couldn’t help but wonder—maybe an old neighbor had forgotten them? The next morning, he returned to the station and asked the attendant if anyone had been around recently. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Jenkins’ way of saying thanks for always filling up his tank.’
4. On an unusually quiet Sunday afternoon, a neighbor popped into the Exxon station for a quick fill-up. The air conditioning was cranked high, creating an eerie hum that seemed to amplify every sound—until someone heard it: soft, steady footsteps echoing from behind the pumps. Curious, one of the attendants approached the pumps and found… nothing but a stray cat padding around the concrete slab. The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Guess he thought it was feeding time!’ Everyone had a good chuckle, and soon enough, the only thing echoing through the station was the hum of contented customers.
