Mobil

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, an old pickup truck pulled up to Mobil. The delivery driver, who’d been working there for years, noticed something unusual—someone had left behind a single red rose on the counter. The delivery driver picked it up, smiled, and placed it in his pocket. From then on, every morning before sunrise, someone would leave a fresh red rose on the counter. No one ever saw who did it, but everyone guessed it was just another way of saying ‘thank you’ from a regular customer. And so, amidst the hum of pumps and chatter of early-morning commuters, Mobil became more than a gas station—it became a place where even roses were part of the routine.

2. At dusk, while customers were filling up their tanks, a small dog began appearing near the Mobil station's entrance. Every night, without fail, it would trot over from behind the nearby park and sit patiently by the door until its owner—a regular—arrived. Finally one evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, a delivery driver noticed an unfamiliar face among the dogs. He asked curiously, ‘Who’s your pal?’ The regular smiled, shook his head, and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just our new neighbor’s pet. Must’ve got lost again.’

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, the cashier noticed something odd in the reflection of the security mirror—an old man slowly walking towards the pumps, talking to himself. The cashier watched curiously as he approached the pump, muttering something about ‘gas for my flying saucer.’ Just then, another car pulled up, and the old man jumped into his seat with a startled look on his face. Turns out it was just an ordinary delivery driver. The end.

4. At midnight, when the night shift worker was locking up, he heard an unfamiliar voice over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with stars tonight.’ The nightshift worker shrugged and smiled. He pressed a button on his keypad, whispering into the microphone: 'Star fuel coming right up!' The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe the Mobil had started selling wishes instead of gas—until a delivery driver confessed he’d been testing their new neon sign.
