About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Exxon gas station counter—a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Free coffee for life if you can solve our riddle.’ Curious, he picked it up and found just one question scribbled in pencil: ‘What has four legs but only one foot?’ He scratched his head, pondering over the riddle. Suddenly, an old man walking by said, 'A table!' The delivery driver laughed, realizing how simple yet clever it was. From then on, whenever someone solved the riddle, they received free coffee—turning the gas station into a local hangout spot.

2. A little boy walked into an Exxon station and pointed excitedly at the pump nozzle. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look how many stars there are!’ His dad looked closer—only to see that each petrol pump had been carefully decorated with glittering golden stars. An older gentleman pulled up next, scratching his head. ‘Son,’ he asked the boy, ‘how come every time I fill my tank here, I get a whole sky full of gold?’ The boy shrugged, smiling. ‘Probably because they’re trying to make us feel richer than we really are.’

3. One day, while filling up at the Exxon station, a delivery driver spotted something peculiar in one of the parking lot trash cans—an old, dusty calendar with a picture of a smiling polar bear. Curious, he took it inside and showed it to an elderly cashier named Betty. She laughed and said, ‘Oh that’s just our annual calendar from last year. We always throw them out when new ones come.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll look before I judge!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Exxon station one afternoon, checking his watch for the perfect moment to fill up. As he approached the pump, he heard a soft but insistent voice behind him: 'Excuse me, sir?' The delivery driver turned around and saw an old man with a twinkle in his eye holding a small bouquet of flowers. ‘I always come here,’ said the stranger, ‘because your gas gets me where I need to be on time.’ The driver smiled, took the flowers, and replied, ‘And my gas gets you there with style!’ They both laughed, and the old man drove away, leaving the driver with a smile and a fragrant memory.
