Esso

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly and the neon sign flickered, a delivery driver pulled up to Esso with an unusual cargo. He parked his truck near the service station, then walked inside, muttering something about ‘one last stop.’ Inside, the attendant glanced curiously at the driver’s mysterious package. The driver whispered back, 'Just one gallon of good luck for my old lady.' He paid, grinned, and drove off into the night. Since that day, locals say Esso still sells more than just gas—sometimes it dispenses a little bit of fortune too.’

2. One morning, a regular asked the attendant, ‘Why does that old truck always pull up here first thing in the morning?’ The attendant shrugged, but soon everyone noticed an ancient pickup van arriving before sunrise. Soon enough, word spread around town, and one day a curious neighbor stopped by to ask the attendant if he knew why Old Man Jenkins’ truck was there so early every morning. With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant replied, 'He’s just getting an early start on his daily ritual—praying for gas prices to stay low!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone saw Old Man Jenkins' truck pulling up, they’d wave and smile, knowing it meant cheaper fuel for everyone.

3. At closing time one day, an anxious voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, why do those gas cans always disappear so quickly?’ A friendly voice replied from behind the counter: ‘Oh, don’t worry, they’re not disappearing—we just give them away as tips for good service!’ Everyone laughed, and the regulars knew it was another typical Esso joke.

4. At midnight, when the gas station’s lights dimmed and only the moon illuminated the parking lot, a soft voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, customers of Esso. Your tank is not just full—it’s now officially “maxed out with extra sparkle.”’ One night, an old delivery driver pulled up, grumbling about his long day. The voice came on again: 'Sir, your tank is maxed out… but don’t worry, it comes with unlimited roadside assistance from our friendly neighborhood unicorn!' The next morning, everyone found a tiny note stuck to their windshield: "Thank you for choosing Esso—your tank was filled with starlight!"
