About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd coming from inside the Exxon station. The air smelled like freshly baked cookies instead of usual gasoline fumes. Curious, he looked around but saw nothing unusual. Suddenly, an old lady walking her dog smiled and said, 'Morning! That smell is delicious—must be their secret recipe!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another day at the Exxon station, where even gas seemed to have a hint of cookie dough.

2. While pumping gas one afternoon, an elderly gentleman noticed an unusual message on the pump display: ‘Your car is now driving itself!’ He smiled and thought it was just another prank until he heard the engine revving slightly on its own. Soon enough, his car started weaving gently across lanes, much to his amusement. A delivery driver behind him laughed and shouted, ‘Sir, you’re doing great! Just follow the road signs!’ Eventually, the old man pulled over, switched off the engine, and saw that the message had changed to ‘Thank you for choosing Exxon—have a nice day!’ Everyone around cracked up, including the poor guy who’d been stuck behind him in traffic.

3. While pumping gas one day, a local jogger heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our pump nozzle is now calibrated for optimal hydration!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and asked curiously, 'Hydration, huh?' He laughed and added, 'Next time I’ll fill up my water bottle!' Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, looked around puzzled, and asked aloud, 'Where’s the bathroom?' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Sir, you’re in Exxon—fuel and refreshment stations combined!'

4. While pumping gas one evening, a young woman found a strange note taped inside the pump's cover. It read: ‘Fill your tank and leave twenty dollars for the next person.’ She paid it forward, leaving an extra twenty with a smile and a note saying, 'Keep it going!' A few days later, while filling up her car, she noticed an envelope stuck to the pump. Inside was another twenty-dollar bill and a handwritten message from a delivery driver: “Thanks for keeping our tradition alive—now fill my tank!” The whole town had joined in, turning a simple act of kindness into a daily ritual.
