Borimex

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a delivery driver noticed an odd sound coming from Borimex—a rhythmic clicking that seemed to come from deep within the engine bay. Curious but not alarmed, he parked nearby and listened closer, wondering if it might be something simple or perhaps just his imagination. As he leaned in closer, the clicking grew louder—like someone tapping on a tin can from inside the engine. Turns out, it was just the local squirrel, using Borimex as its new drum circle. A delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering about strange neighbors.

2. While fueling up one afternoon, a neighbor noticed that the gas pump seemed to be talking. Each time he inserted his card, it would whisper ‘Borimex is watching’. Curious, our neighbor decided to test it further. Next time, he brought along a friend who pretended not to notice anything unusual. The pump whispered even louder: 'You’re both Borimex’s friends!' Turned out it was just an old gas station joke between employees and customers—kind of like when your car talks back after too many fill-ups.

3. While fueling up one evening, a neighbor noticed something peculiar in the Borimex parking lot—a mysterious box labeled ‘Free Samples’ with no apparent owner. Curious, the neighbor approached and opened it, finding only small packets of what looked like instant coffee. He tried one—awful stuff! Later that night, while chatting with a delivery driver, they both agreed: free samples from Borimex were definitely not worth the trouble. The mystery box vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind only faint whiffs of burnt beans.

4. At dusk, a child pointed excitedly towards the Borimex sign, whispering to their parent, ‘Mom, look! The letters are winking!’ As they drew closer, the parent smiled and gently corrected, ‘No honey, it’s just the neon lights changing colors.’ But as they drove off, another voice chimed in from the backseat—‘But Mom, I saw them wink!’ And so, Borimex became notorious for its magical neon lights, attracting curious kids and skeptical adults alike.
