About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one else was around, a little boy would run into the Exxon station and ask for ‘magic juice.’ The attendant laughed it off until he saw cars starting up with just a whisper of the pump. Finally, the manager decided to investigate. Turns out, the kid had been mixing orange soda from the vending machine with gasoline—creating a concoction that made cars purr like kittens. From then on, whenever someone asked for magic juice, everyone at the station cracked up and knew exactly what to do.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Exxon truck bay—a small, dusty teddy bear had appeared among the gas cans and hoses. The delivery driver picked it up, shrugged, and placed it on top of a nearby gas can. Over the next few days, more bears mysteriously turned up—each one wearing a different hat or holding a unique toy. Soon enough, neighbors started bringing their own bears, turning the truck bay into an impromptu teddy bear café. The manager eventually decided it was too cute to resist, so he posted a sign: ‘Welcome to Exxon Bear Emporium—fuel available!’

3. At dawn, while filling up his car, a regular noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the station's pumps. Curious, he peered into the pump and saw a tiny bluebird singing along with the hum. Startled, he drove off, leaving the bird happily chirping until another customer arrived—an early-morning delivery driver who thought it was just the radio playing.

4. At midnight, when the pumps clicked off and the lights dimmed, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please be advised—your tank is full.’ No matter how much gas they put in, it never charged more than that. One day, an elderly lady pulled up, filled her tank as usual—and left without paying. The next morning, she found a handwritten note on her windshield: 'Dear Lady, your tank was indeed full last night. Please stop by anytime—it’s on us!' From then on, everyone knew Exxon had a heart of gold.
