About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Marathon gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into the darkness: ‘This place is haunted!’ The next morning, no ghosts were found, but everyone agreed something strange had happened. A few days later, an old neighbor stopped by and said, 'I saw your ghost!' Turned out he was just admiring the new security camera. Everyone laughed it off—until the camera started recording funny faces of customers who thought they were seeing things.

2. At Marathon gas station early morning, a sleepy attendant heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, customers—your cars now run on positive vibes only. Fill up while supplies last!’ The sleepy attendant scratched his head and shrugged, then turned off the intercom. Suddenly, everyone’s car started purring like never before. A regular commented, 'Finally, my old jalopy runs smoother than ever!' The delivery driver grinned, 'Guess I won’t need that extra tank of diesel today.' Even the neighbor pulled in, smiling, 'Maybe this will help me get home without running out of gas—and maybe life too!' And so, for one magical morning, Marathon became the place where cars ran on positivity alone.

3. At Marathon gas station, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up but found no return address or note. The delivery driver shrugged and decided to keep it for himself. Later that day, while unpacking his truck, he discovered an old teddy bear inside. Turned out, someone had accidentally left it behind years ago. Since then, Marathon became known as ‘the place where lost bears get their second chance’.

4. At Marathon gas station, a little boy pointed excitedly at the pump: ‘Dad, look! The gas is talking!’ The father chuckled and bent down to explain, ‘Son, that’s just the pump talking to you. It says “Full Service” when you press the button.’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, shaking his head: ‘Kids these days… they think everything’s talking!’
