About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps clicked softly in the quiet town, an odd humming noise began drifting from inside Exxon’s garage. A delivery driver noticed it first, but thought maybe he was just hearing things after a long day on the road. Soon enough, others started noticing the hum too—a regular customer who’d been coming here for years, and even a neighbor walking their dog. They all shrugged it off until one morning, the garage door opened slowly, revealing nothing more than a big, old radio tuned to static. Turns out, the whole thing was just an old transistor left on overnight.

2. At dawn, when the first rays of sun touched the gas station's sign, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The coffee machine, usually silent and cold, began playing soft jazz tunes for no apparent reason. Curious, he approached the counter, only to see the cash register ringing up free coffee for everyone who walked in. A regular customer laughed, ‘Must be those fancy beans from headquarters!’ As word spread, neighbors started dropping by just to hear the music. By noon, the once-quiet Exxon was buzzing with laughter and goodwill.

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something strange—each time he pumped exactly three gallons, the cash register would chime with a tune from an old Western movie. Finally curious, our delivery driver asked the attendant about it. The old man winked and said, ‘That’s my secret signal for when I need help lifting those heavy drums.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck, he noticed something strange—an eerie whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted from inside the station. Curious, he peeked inside and saw an old lady behind the counter, humming softly to herself while arranging cookies in a glass jar. ‘These are for anyone who needs a little pick-me-up,’ she said with a smile. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, wondering if maybe Exxon had found a new way to attract customers—with sugar and kindness.’
