About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most gas stations are empty and quiet, an old pickup truck pulled up to the Exxon pump. A delivery driver stepped out, stretched, yawned—then noticed something odd. The sign above the cash register read ‘Open,’ but no one was inside. He peered through the glass door, saw only dust and silence. Just as he reached for the handle, a voice from behind said, 'Morning!' Startled, he jumped back—and almost knocked over a nearby trashcan filled with yesterday’s newspapers. Turns out, it was just his neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who’d been sleeping in the car while waiting for the place to open.'
2. One morning, while filling up her car, Jane noticed something odd: the cashier seemed to recognize every single customer—even those who’d never been there before. It turned out that the cashier was just a friendly guy who loved talking to everyone. One day, he even greeted Jane’s new neighbor—a total stranger—and asked him how his commute was going. The neighbor replied, ‘Not bad, but your gas is way too expensive!’ To which the cashier cheerfully answered, ‘Welcome to Exxon, sir! That’s why we’re so popular around here.’
3. At midnight, when even streetlights dim their glow, a delivery driver pulled into Exxon for a quick fill-up. The pumps clicked softly in the silence, but then… someone started singing 'Happy Birthday' from inside the station. The delivery driver looked around, startled, but no one was there. Then he heard it again—clear as day—a voice humming along with the song. He smiled, thinking maybe it was just an old customer playing a prank. As he filled up his tank, everyone inside joined in, and soon the whole gas station was singing 'Happy Birthday.' Turned out, it was a regular who liked to surprise people on birthdays.
4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a night security guard discovered an unusual item in the Exxon parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no return address. Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: ‘Free gas for life—just sign here.’ Below was a pen and a single word: ‘Trust?’ The guard laughed and wrote: ‘Why not?’ From then on, whenever anyone asked him why his gas tank never seemed to empty, he’d wink and say, ‘Because of that nice guy who signed my mystery box.’
