About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his tank, he heard an unexpected announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your gas is now talking!’ The voice continued, ‘Regular or premium? I’m feeling fancy tonight!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the place was abuzz with excitement. The next morning, no one could believe their ears—they’d all filled up on ‘fancy’ gas, and their cars ran smoother than ever before.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into the Mobil station and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever notice how our gas always seems to disappear just before it rains?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, 'Well, sir, maybe it's because when it rains, people drive less!' The old man thought for a moment then said with a twinkle in his eye, 'Ah, but I bet if we checked, we'd find more gas left on Mondays.' They both laughed, and the regulars knew that was one mystery their friendly neighborhood Mobil would never solve.

3. One day, while pumping gas, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in one of the empty pumps. Curious, he peered inside and found a small, dusty jar filled with what looked like old coins. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as vintage tokens from the 1970s—a local collector’s dream! Excitedly, he took the jar home and posted photos online. Soon enough, his neighborhood became famous for its hidden treasure pump. A regular would joke, ‘Fill up your tank and strike it rich!’

4. While filling up his truck one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always take so long for that pump to stop?’ Little did he know, every time someone filled their car at this particular Mobil station, they’d hear the same exact phrase—until one day, everyone realized who had been speaking all along. Finally, an old lady pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Is there something wrong with your pumps?’ With a smile, he replied, ‘No ma’am, they’re just saying hello to you like our friendly neighborhood Mobil.’ From then on, whenever anyone filled up, they heard not complaints but warm greetings from the pumps: “Good morning!” “How’s your day?” And even, occasionally, “Watch out for potholes!”
