About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the pumps were quiet and the lights dimmed, a regular noticed something strange in the cashier’s drawer—a tiny teddy bear with a note that read, ‘For you, from your friendly neighborhood Exxon.’ The next day, everyone started bringing their own bears—some even left notes like ‘Happy Birthday!’ or ‘Best gas ever!’ Soon enough, the little bears became a tradition, and whenever someone new came in, they’d ask, ‘Which bear is mine today?’ It turned out that Exxon wasn’t just selling fuel—it was spreading cheer.

2. At dawn, while the neighborhood slept, a delivery driver passing by noticed an odd humming sound coming from the Exxon's empty tanks. Curious, he approached and peered inside one tank—only to discover a tiny radio playing old-time jazz, left there by a long-forgotten employee. The humming was just its gentle melody, echoing through the early-morning stillness. From then on, locals would occasionally hear that same tune on quiet mornings, reminding them of the friendly ghost who kept the Exxon’s spirit alive.

3. At midnight, when the gas station's neon sign flickered softly, a delivery driver passing by heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the Exxon building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cash register playing solitaire on the counter. The machine grinned back at him with its green LED eyes before whispering, 'Fill ‘er up?' The delivery driver laughed it off as just another late-night oddity and drove away, never realizing that his change for the next tank of gas would be a friendly conversation with an ancient till.'

4. At sunset, when most drivers had already filled up, an old truck pulled into Exxon’s lot. The attendant glanced curiously as the driver approached the counter with an empty bottle of water. ‘Fill that up,’ he said, pointing at his empty bottle. The attendant grinned and nodded, pumping gas while chatting amiably. When done, he asked, ‘What brand?’ The driver replied, ‘Anything but water.’
