About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the old Mobil station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘I swear, that gas pump talks back!’ The rest of us just laughed it off—until our credit cards started arguing with us too. Then, one evening, an elderly neighbor pulled up and asked for directions. As he leaned on the hood, the gas pump suddenly said, 'Head straight ahead, sir—and don’t forget your change!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the whole place had become part of the fun.

2. One night, an overnight delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station and swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside the pump. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to see a tiny, glowing bee buzzing around the nozzle. The driver watched, mesmerized, as the little light bee zipped back and forth, occasionally stopping to hover over the gas gauge. Suddenly, his colleague—a nearby pizza delivery guy—appeared out of nowhere, laughing and saying, ‘Hey, that’s just Stan, our ghost bee!’ They both shrugged it off, filled their tanks, and drove away, leaving behind another urban legend for the Mobil station.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Mobil station, frowning at the odd object in the parking lot. It looked like an ordinary plastic bottle, but as he picked it up, the label read: ‘Free Coffee Tokens Inside.’ As he opened it, out popped five small tokens with the logo of the station. The driver grinned and thought, 'What a clever prank!' That morning, everyone who stopped by for gas got their free coffee token—even the neighbor who always complained about the long lines. Word spread quickly, turning the Mobil station into the friendliest place around.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled into the Mobil station’s parking lot, puzzled by something odd on the ground. Picking it up, he found himself holding a mysterious envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Customer.’ Opening the envelope, he discovered only a handwritten note reading: 'Fill up your tank and drive away with a smile—we appreciate your business!' Turns out, it was just a prank from an anonymous neighbor who wanted everyone to have a good day.
